Game Thread: Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl: #12 UCF (12-0) vs #7 Auburn (10-3)

Feels like Houston over FSU a few years ago.

Not when they lose by 31 to Iowa

Says the fan of the team that lost to Auburn. Iowa looked impressive in its bowl, as did the entire B1G.

My point? Beauty contest rules to select the playoff teams is inherently flawed. I say Conference Champions only. UCF and OSU both have better cases to make than Bama. But Alabama looks better in a swimsuit, and evening gowns I suppose. This one did both

Maybe UCF should have gotten the 4th playoff spot. The "eye test" is telling me they're way better than Bama.

Prevent defense? GTFO.

 

[Wild Turkey]

We played terrible today and UCF's defense did a fantastic job and they deserve the win. Stidham's fumble and pick 6 were the big difference makers and hopefully he grow from it. This team has to learn how to win on the road.

Doesn't matter. A loss is a loss.

I'm not even watching Alabama/Clemson tonight. I'm boycotting that bullshit.

The committee has done this before, last year with Ohio St. So why act surprised or mad about it?

And that sucks for you

Well, obviously Auburn just isn't all that good.

Maybe Bama should have had to play Memphis at a neutral site or on the road or something to prove their mettle?

Not since @ Penn St. 2011

 

[Ojb81]

oh man, if Auburn somehow comes back and pulls a win out of their backside it will be devastating for UCF

Who was strangling a cat???

That’s true Bama does have three top ten wins so far this year. Definitely the same thing that happened last year.

Yeah because it's not like a non-conference champ has gotten into the playoffs before. Alabama is the first one! Oh wait, no they're not because Ohio St got in last year over Penn State.

You can hate it all you want but the committee has done it before and will do it again at some point I bet. They put in what they thought were the 4 best teams. Quit crying about it, its done with. Its not going to change.

UCF has to stay aggressive

got that big return to help

Bama only has 1 loss. And it wasn't by 31 points

 

[Milkshake]

Damn, big balls

 

[Milkshake]

Bama only has 1 loss. And it wasn't by 31 points

So with that logic, UCF should be over Bama?

 

[4down20]

Hey Auburn, you're only supposed to play prevent defense when you are winning.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

ouch that was a bad penalty
