This is just about the time last year that everything went south on South Florida: undefeated, off a big Friday night win at home, riding high in the polls after a slew of upsets opened the yellowbrick road to the top ten, and a sketchy conference rival puts an end to the party on a Thursday night. In '07, it was 6-0, with a win over heavily favored West Virginia, and an ascent all the way to No. 2 before Rutgers delivered the nationally-televised kibosh. Tonight, USF is 5-0 with a tough comeback over Kansas, a comfortable, under-the-radar spot at the cusp of the top 10, and enter the Wannstache.

Nothing Pittsburgh's done in the first four games suggests it has any reasonable chance of upsetting a serious team in Tampa -- a loss to Bowling Green and back-to-back cliffhangers with Iowa and Syracuse are not beacons of competence -- but the Panthers are 3-1, have a legitimate star in LeSean McCoy, and we're only a week removed from Oregon State over USC. We've seen enough to know better -- although, if things go badly for Pitt, tonight may be the night Wannstedt-weary Panther partisans decide they've seen enough, period.

What: Live blog, forum for Pitt at South Florida and Oregon State at Utah, for you weird Versus people.
When: Kickoff at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, live blog at 7:25-ish.
Why: When you hear that noise outside and feel your house shake ever so slightly, you'll be able to reassure the family: "It was only South Florida coach Jim Leavitt arguing a holding call, kids." If you were watching the vice presidential debate or something, you'd have no idea what the hell that was.
Who: You, reader! Just hit "Watch Now," keep it clean, and don't be afraid to admit you're mildly terrified but also strangely intrigued by Matt Grothe. He has that effect on everybody.
