Could Temple keep Bulls out of Birmingham?

At most, only five days of bowl limbo remain, and Bulls fans are understandably agog over the possibilities.

Especially the ones that have the Bulls landing at Legion Field. The hopes of the 24th-ranked Bulls (10-2) facing an SEC foe in the Birmingham Bowl were further stoked Tuesday when ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Brett McMurphy both projected USF to play in the Dec. 29 game, against Vanderbilt and South Carolina, respectively.

To be sure, it's a viable scenario. But Bulls fans also must come to grips with another plausibility.

Temple, the bane of the Bulls' regular season, may also become the bane of their bowl season.
