TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- South Florida coach Jim Leavitt has never been fond of the idea of his Bulls playing Central Florida every season. The schools, located less than 100 miles apart, are natural geographical rivals, yet Leavitt is not sure a long-term series is in the best interest of the rapidly rising program he's built into a budding national power. The fifth-ranked Bulls and Knights meet for the third time Saturday, and the stakes have never been higher.

USF (5-0) find itself in the national title race, improving UCF (3-2) can enhance its national stature with an upset, and excited fans have responded by gobbling every available seat for the nationally televised game. It all adds up to the type of game-day atmosphere and support the Bulls and Knights have been trying to build for years. USF won the first two meetings, although Leavitt plays down how much bragging rights impact high school prospects considering the schools.

I'd like to see a rivalry develop here. Of course, the best way for that to happen is for UCF to pull the upset. If that were to happen, I guarantee you most of those USF guys would want to play them again as soon as possible, for revenge. Hey, South Florida's a young program with no out of conference rivalry. They need one, you know?
