Bulls jump to No. 5 in AP Poll

Despite a sloppy performance against Florida Atlantic on Saturday, USF — helped by another weekend of unexpected upsets — jumped up one spot to No. 5 in the latest AP poll, released Sunday afternoon.

With Stanford's stunning 24-23 upset of then-No. 2 — now-No. 10 — USC and Illinois' Big Ten Conference win against then-No. 5 Wisconsin, the voters decided that USF's undefeated record and a close win against FAU was enough to secure the Bulls a spot in the top five.

The Bulls are tied at No. 5 with Oklahoma in the USA Today/Coach's Poll.

Orange County, Florida Child Custody Case...

A seven-year old boy was at the center of an Orlando courtroom drama this morning, when he challenged a court ruling over whom should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University of CENTRAL Florida Golden Knights, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone!
