UCF deserves national champion, not Wisconsin

[BigAppleBadger]

9th toughest schedule vs 67th toughest. Pretty much a tie.

In what universe did Alabama have the 9th toughest schedule??

Because they beat Auburn? Good Lord.

Because they beat all of the teams that they played, including Auburn.

If anything this year has shown us again that the 4 team playoff is garbage and that UCF should have gotten a chance to compete. I think they could give anyone a run for their money, even Bama.

No they shouldn't. If Bama didn't get in, Ohio State would have, and they finished with a more impressive win than UCF did.

I hear the sisters got invited to a better bowl than Syracuse.

Let's face it, it's a beauty pageant. As long as there is a selection committee instead of taking conference champions only, it will continue to be a beauty pageant. Playoffs, rankings, SOS, etc. are all very subjective.

UCF absolutely deserved to be in the playoff.

Someone has to wipe up the blood. It ain't gonna be us. Let the lady's do something nice.

I definitely think UCF should have gotten the fourth spot, because I think the playoffs are about the four most deserving teams, and I didn't think Ohio State, Wisconsin, Alabama, or USC did enough to deserve to be there. But to anoint them champions, especially when two of the playoff teams beat the team they just played, one much worse on the same field, is absolutely ridiculous. They hadn't played an actual P5 team until today.

Auburn was 2-0 with Kerryon Johnson healthy against the two teams in the championship. Auburn lost a close game to Clemson at Clemson without Kerryon Johnson, which is much better than losing at Syracuse without your QB in the second half.

Auburn was 0-1 against UCF with Kerryon Johnson healthy. And, Auburn couldn't run the ball.

That's a big "maybe". The Pac 12 going 1-7 in their bowls tells me that the conference was shit. USC probably was not as good a team as Auburn. Although the SEC also was crap in their bowl games. UCF did not deserve to be in the top 4, but this is why an 8 team playoff is needed. Wisconsin, Ohio State, UCF and maybe USC would have been worthy in the 8 team playoff.

Clemson didn't have their QB in the first half either....well he was behind center but with only one leg.

Clemson lost at Syracuse without their QB. Syracuse didn't make a bowl game.

Auburn lost at Clemson without their top player.

Auburn's loss is better. Clemson's lost got excused. Auburn's injury gets overlooked.

In what universe did Alabama have the 9th toughest schedule??

I Googled strength of schedule and that's what it said, so this universe I guess.

9th toughest in the SEC?

I was more talking about our win being more convincing, but otherwise I agree with your post.

Do UCF and Wisconsin fans really need to embarrass themselves like this?
