Alabama or UCF?

[huskers1217]

Damn the AP poll is fucking biased against UCF

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

UCF can claim whatever they want. I'm happy for their success and loved that they beat Auburn in the bowl game.

But the fucking president came to the national championship game and Alabama came home with an actual National Championship trophy.

Sorry. Can’t win a national title if you can’t win your conference. Your title illegitimate. UCF was the true champion this year.

I prefer QBs that aren't backups.

I am pretty sure Alabama is the best team in the country, and would beat up UCF. However, I think it is a crime that UCF doesn't even get a chance.

Think about it. Before the season even starts, about 2/3rds of the teams in division 1 college football don't even have a chance to win the NC, regardless of what they do. That is stupid.

We need a 16 team playoff where the 11 conference championship get an automatic bid, and we can throw in 5 at large teams. That way, everyone has a path to the championship. Sure, we will argue about the participants still, but at least we will know that there was something they could have done differently to get their shot (namely, not lose).

 

[Airraidtech]

ha! UCF, he asks!

That stupid fucking jif or gif or whatever the fuck will never get old.

 

[bamabear82]

Sorry. Can’t win a national title if you're Michigan.

Word.

 

[Bayou Tiger]

Natty goes thru awwbun? Congrats LSU, Clemson, UCF & UGA on yer natty!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy !






WAIT!.... Does this mean Troy gets one too?

 

[bamabear82]

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy !






WAIT!.... Does this mean Troy gets one too?

Of course. I think Bama gets 3 since they beat 3 of those teams that beat awwbun. THIS IS AWESOME!

^this


But the problem isn't that there aren't enough playoff spots. 8 won't change that. The problem is too many schools.

Need to tier college football differently or something.....close a few schools...something!

 

[Lance Armstrong]

uh, Bama lost to auburn. That is why nobody thinks they're that good.

I like the whole play a tougher schedule arguments. Tougher schedule means tougher opponents and, newsflash, AAC isn't a power 5 conference. So our conference play won't be seen as a tough schedule. Our out of conference schedule, which is 3 games, now judges whether we played a tough schedule? The only way for a non-power 5 conference team to win a national title or even be considered for it it to play the top power 5 teams. But here's the problem. Why is our schedule not tough enough but you got Bama playing Mercer in fucking November. For an AAC schedule, it was pretty tough. USF, Memphis and Navy were all ranked this year and we beat them all. No, we aren't playing SEC teams but that's because we aren't in the fucking SEC and if we were to play an power 5 team, we'd have to play a crap SEC team which then wouldn't be considered a real win because its against a crap power 5 team and the reason we'd have to play a crap power 5 team is because the good power 5 teams are scheduling games against mainly crap non-power 5 teams. It's a vicious cycle. Plus, out of conference games are decided YEARS in advance. So, for instance, we have schedule to play UNC 2 times in the next 3 years. When we schedule UNC, they were in the ACC title game. Now, they are a shit power 5 team. So that win, according to many, won't be a real win because, yeah it's against a power 5 team, but its a shit power 5 team. It's a lose-lose scenario unless you somehow get lucky and the teams you schedule in 2018 are actually a good team when it comes time to play them in 2020. Next year, our OOC schedule is UNC, Pittsburgh and FAU. 2019 we got FAU, Stanford and Pittsburgh. UCF isn't gonna be the same team in 2019 so when it comes time to play an actual "good" power 5 team like Stanford, we won't be this undefeated team we were in 2017 because of all the missing pieces we won't have anymore. Practically everyone who is eligible for the draft is leaving and so is our coach.

So, yes, it was a great season, only undefeated team in the country and the only team undefeated against ranked opponents. But it should be a hell of a lot easier for a non power 5 team to make a case for a national title or at least a playoff spot. If you want non-power 5 teams to schedule harder OOC schedules, then power 5 teams should be held to the same standard and stop schedule teams like Samford (Georgia), Mercer (Alabama), UTEP (Oklahoma) and Kent State (Clemson).

You missed one...

 

[Rolltide94]

UCF not even in the top5.

And that's while getting 4 #1 butthurt votes.

There's the real asterisk right there...#6 with 4 1st place votes.

Screw that... We need a 129-team double elimination tournament!

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

It's a shame we still have this problem. BCS all over again.

 

[Rolltide94]

Why is our schedule not tough enough but you got Bama playing Mercer in fucking November. For an AAC schedule, it was pretty tough.

The problem with your argument is that Alabama also played FSU, Fresno St and Colorado St OOC...which BTW are all better than your best OOC win. Plus we played 8 SEC teams in conference.

FSU, Fresno and Colorado were both better teams than UCF when we scheduled them.

In fact, UCF was 0-12 when you scheduled Maryland and Georgia Tech....according to your logic you should have had your pick of P5 teams.

Here's a news flash for you too. If you are counting on UNC to be a huge OOC win you've already lost.

Saying nobody will play you is the lamest excuse.

Remember when Boise was unbeaten in 2009....here are there signature opponents for the following 5 years...Virginia Tech, Georgia, Michigan St, Washington, Ole Miss.

All your future schedule says to me is that your AD didn't expect you to be good this year...and he wasn't expecting you to be good going forward either.

 

[Old Lion]

Actually how about eliminate non conference schedule games and just let the conference champions play in a tournament like every other sport on the planet. D1 football is the only one that has this shit method of just choosing who they think is best.

Nope! 129 team double elimination tournament! The ONLY fair way! Remember, these kids are in school to play football, not learn!

 

[Wild Turkey]

UCF but Bama will claim it. That’s what they do.

 

[Rolltide94]

No, you can't win the National Championship if you aren't the best team in the country, that's why you haven't won a title since '48.
