Before 1997, there were no Bulls. Sure, it doesn't have the history of a Alabama or Penn State, or even Ball State. But they have made major improvements since starting their football program in '97 where they started out as a 1-AA independent, and in just 4 years moved to 1-A, and since 2005 they are now in the Big East. I say this team has the possibility to finish in the top 15 this year, and who knows after that.
Every year they seem to have at least one upset: in '05 it was 9th Louisville, '06 saw them defeat 7th ranked West Virginia. This past year they beat #17 Auburn, which put them in the AP 25 for the first time ever at 23.
This season looks harder they play a weak team next week in UNC, then come the big boys: West Virginia on the 28th, Rutgers on 10-18, and Louisville on 11-17. Lead by QB Matt Grothe, and head coach for all 10 years Jim Leavitt, this team has the potential. Who said Boise State would go no where?
