Hahah #3 that year, cheating Barn trash.

Perfect example of how Bammers can’t count.

Even some basketball sport pundits are recognizing UCFs Rise to Dominance.

I file this article as a Must Read for any Real Fans, like me.

Why UCF is the college football program with potential to experience Gonzaga-like success

"All of which brings me to UCF. The Knights have played 25 games the last two seasons, and their only loss in that span was a 40-32 loss in the Fiesta Bowl earlier this year. This a year after beating Auburn 34-27 in the Peach Bowl. While Scott Frost, the man who engineered an amazing turnaround, has left, that doesn't necessarily mean UCF is going to fade from the spotlight. There are still plenty of things working in its favor.

First of all, while the last two years have been extraordinary, it wasn't that long ago the Knights went 12-1 and won the Fiesta Bowl in 2013. They've now won at least 12 games in three different seasons since joining the American Athletic Conference in 2013, and each one has come under a different coach (Frost, Josh Heupel and George O'Leary).

UCF has some advantages that Boise State and TCU didn't as well. Boise State's a school with an undergraduate enrollment of just under 16,000 that plays in Idaho; not exactly a state ripe with high school football talent. TCU is located in one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country but does so as a private school with an enrollment of under 9,000. UCF is a giant public school in one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country, with school having an undergraduate enrollment of nearly 59,000 students. That's more than any other school in the country. If you look at the top 10 schools based on undergrad enrollment, UCF and FIU are the only non-ESP5N Cartel schools present. It's also a school that seems interested in developing strong athletic programs and putting money into them, and it does so in a conference that may be a P6 member, but it's the one that garners the most respect from polls and the selection committee to this point.

It's enough to make you wonder if UCF can be college football's Gonzaga if it keeps moving at the pace it's currently on."

BCS is all that mattered, trash. #3.

Did you guys create your own championship rings? That's nice. ... Please join a P5 Conference and make yourselves legitimate.

Welcome to cfb, noob. There has always been 6 BCS autobid / Power 6 conference. The AAC/ Big East is one of them.

But the bigger point is all other sports include all divisions / conferences in a playoff to determine a champion. Why are FBS tshirt bandwagoners scared of competition?

SOS is a BS stat. Everyone who understands math knows this.

To make it simple, it's like judging pitchers by the average batting average that they faced. The differences are so nebulous that they are not statistically relevant / valid.

Since you're a Big 12 fan, you should understand that every Big 12 team has the same in conference SOS while other conferences don't.... Why? Bc the Big 12 teams all play each other. While other conferences have unbalanced schedules. It's just basic math.

#UCFacts

That’s actually not true at all. Did you forget to factor in OOC games. Really?

God you are retarded.

That’s cute, you call me noob . As I have been stating for years, I am in favor of an eight team playoff system. This playoff system would include 5 P5 Champions and 3 at large teams selected by the committee. As it is, P5 teams play a much tougher schedule than other college teams. It would be unfair to put a non P5 team in a four team playoff. Join the big boys.

Except every team is different. Every in conference schedule is different. Oklahoma will have an easier in conference schedule than Kansas because Oklahoma can’t play itself.

Wow you are retarded.

Welp you just proved that you don't understand SOS, at all. It's math. Not what you're doing there.

Should they join the ACC or the SEC?

Don't want to be apart of those small schools in crappy small towns. The AAC is big time in big cities with airports. Makes travel a breeze.

I think the Big 12 ... With Cincinnati, Houston and Memphis.

Since you can't change the system, and you know the math, the fault lies in you are not playing the proper teams to maximize your SOS.

UCF is just currently changing the system, we are the Champions of Change.

A legit Playoff gets rid of most of the UCFoolishness in FBS.

How exactly are they “changing the system”?

Please don’t say the call for 8 teams because that has been around since the beginning.

LSU proved with a depleted team what little competition UCF was.

UCF is Boise lite. At least BSU won the bowl games. Beat LSU and have more than 2 good years.

 

[romeo212000]

Call us when UCF can actually beat LSU’s second and third team. K? Byesies.

 

[Olyduck]

It won't be long before UCF earns another one of these. Especially with the Heup at the helm

#UCFacts

does this ring say CM or Colley on it anywhere?
