If you notice an odd assortment of wild-colored blazers on the sidelines at Raymond James Stadium for tonight's USF-West Virginia, relax. There is not a convention of Craig Sager impersonators in town this weekend for Halloween.

No, it's USF's annual "Bulls and Bowls" shindig, which has representatives from 11 bowls visiting Tampa and getting a closer look at the Bulls and USF's athletic administration. All the BCS bowls are scheduled to attend -- Sugar, Orange, Rose, Fiesta and the national championship game -- as well as nearly all the current Big East bowls -- the Gator, the Sun, the Meineke Car Care, the Papajohns.com and the St. Petersburg bowls. (The International Bowl is not here, perhaps in recognition that USF almost certainly won't get paired with a game in Toronto). The conference's bowl affiliations will change after this season, and part of the new lineup will also be in Tampa, with the as-yet-unnamed Yankee Stadium Bowl.

Even with a strong finish, it will be hard for USF to catch Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, which are two games ahead in the standings and both beat the Bulls handily. A win Friday night could keep the Bulls in contention for a trip to Charlotte, though Birmingham remains the most likely destination for USF, presuming they can collect themselves enough to win two of their remaining five games to become bowl-eligible.
