You act as if the invites are random, they are not.

UCF was not invited because they didn't do anything that showed they were among the 4 best teams. They played one of the weakest schedules in college football.

The thing is, no one else this year had a good resume either

UCF was at least undefeated and it wasn't like their schedule was as bad as Western Michigan's last year

I don't understand how that posted, I didn't hit anything that could have possibly posted a reply

no one else really did anything to show that UCF shouldn't have received a chance

# of expected losses for an elite team for UCF's regular season schedule was 0.50ish. Basically, most of the top15 would have been expected to go undefeated on UCF's schedule.

And I'm not sure what Western Michigan's was last year, but UCF's regular season schedule was #109 out of 130 teams. It doesn't get much worse than that. They played 1 less regular season game as GT was canceled and they played a FCS team on top of it(which is basically no game). The highlight of their schedule were 2 teams that didn't beat any top25 teams themselves and was in conference.

Teams with better resumes than UCF going into the playoffs(aka when it actually matters):

Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn, Wisconsin, Ohio St, USC off the top of my head and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some - Miami is another.

Bammers have no grasp of reality. Their truth is "relative." It has been this way since before you were born, before Reagan, before necons, before the Tea Party, before Trump, before a 30-something Roy Moore tried to diddle a bunch of underaged girls. This should inform the perspective of all non-Bammers - discussions with Bammers about CFB or anything else can only be for grins and giggles. No rational discussion shall transpire. Rational is as foreign to them as an asteroid from outside the solar system. They're Bammers.

Nope! 129 team double elimination tournament! The ONLY fair way! Remember, these kids are in school to play football, not learn!
Don’t be ridiculous, we don’t need that many teams. If you can’t make it into the top 128, you don’t have an argument.

Haha.

There are currently 129 FBS teams. If we leave one of them out, can we all agree it's got to be Alabama?

UCF had a great season but they are marginally a top 10 team. If simply being undefeated is enough then mid majors should just start making the weakest schedule possible.

Seriously. Their claims to fame are beating Auburn and two marginal top-25 teams (Memphis/USF)?
