Realistically, what's the highest USF can finish?

If South Florida runs the table, it's playing for the national title.

Because two of the teams in front of them are losing at least one game (LSU, OSU, Cal and BC) and the teams just behind them (Go Gamecocks!, Mizzou, West Va and Va Tech) aren't running the table, either.

One loss, though, and SouthFla is toast.

West Virginia could run the table, which would make for a nice debate if they make the BCS title game with one loss while South Florida is in the Gator Bowl with one loss and a road win against the Mountaineers.

South Florida won't be in the Gator Bowl with one loss. Forget it. Their fans wouldn't stay 2-3 nights in hotels and spend money in the city, which is big with the Gator Bowl people. Plus, the Gator Bowl has to go Big 12 in two of the next three years (per their current contract) and wants to match Texas (with at least a 8-4 record) against Clemson, Virginia Tech or FSU (whoever doesn't get to the ACC title game).

The only way South Florida would get into the Gator Bowl this year would probably be if they can match them up against Florida State and they could rope up a ton of state media for it.

Otherwise it's Texas against the Best available ACC team.

Actually, you'd never see that game, because fans from both schools would drive in that day, or the day before at the most. Bowls below the BCS level not only want a sell-out, but 3-4 days of economic impact as well.
