Don't look like it man. You seem like an angry dude. Yelling and cursing at nothing that matters.

Yelling? What the fuck are you talking about?

I curse so you won't like me.

Join the Big 12 or the ACC ... but don't be whining about not being respected when you're not consistently playing the big boys!!

I'm sure they would, if invited, but it's never coming. They can't schedule bad G5 teams, bad P5 teams, and FCS teams OOC and want respect when they know full well what their conference schedule is going to look like.

All I'm saying is UCF deserves a little more credit than it's getting and, in my opinion, are a better team than some of those ahead of us. We've beaten the "shitty" teams we've faced by at least 20 points except for Memphis last week. Our win margins are 39, 38, 20, 31, 28, 1 and 27. So yes, we are beating bad competition compared to most, but we are dominating them. I don't see any other team punished for it's weak schedule. Alabama's best win is against Texas A&M, don't see them getting punished for their weak schedule.
Beating the tar out of a bad/lower tier squad =/= even an ugly win against teams with bigger/stronger/more talented players.

We don't give ANY credit to P5's for playing teams you are feasting on, so why would anyone give extra props to mid majors who simply play more of that crap?

Homework assignment: Go find the average weight of the front lines of every team you have faced and compare them to who Bama or any other high ranked team has.

You aren't playing the same game on the same level. You simply aren't. That doesn't mean you can't beat a top 10 team. I mean we just watched Purdue undress a top 5 team (LOLZ). However, we have seen MANY P5's that started with a fluffy schedule they blew out teams on and ended up coming back down to earth when they faced actual decent P5 level teams.

We are getting credit from the voters, I don't really care about the credit from you guys lol. We are 20-0 the last two seasons, beat a pretty big SEC Conference team last year in a NY6 bowl and we are in the top 10 for the 2nd week in a row. 3 years ago, I couldn't even think about winning a damn game because we couldn't.

I am happy where we are as a team from where we were 3 years ago.

ECU lost to a FCS team. Who gives a fuck what UCF did this week or last week. They play a shit schedule and there is no a single team in the top20 they deserve to be ranked over.

Tell me why UCF deserves to be ranked above #18 Iowa for example.

8 ranks lower - and not a single fucking reason to justify it.

Same reason Alabama is ranked above Notre Dame.

However, UCF loses to Alabama, UCF drops 20+ spots. If Alabama loses to UCF, they drop under 10 spots. That is where the weaker schedule would come into play. But UCF has looked like the best mid-major team coming off a great 2017-18 year.

This is dumb.

And I wish UCF was playing Alabama just so I could take your vcash if you'd be dumb enough to bet that. You are 100% backwards.

Just say you're an idiot who puts more into record than SoS so we can move on.

Obviously I love our ranking but just seems weird we can go from 30ish to near top 10 when we beat the worst P5 team in the nation, had a bye then beat an overrated Oregon team.

0-12
6-6
13-0
7-0 (and counting)

Giving it some thought, I honestly don't care where we are ranked. I am pleased with the progress and the improvements this program has made. We are a G5 team, playing a G5 schedule. I think we deserve a little more credit, but looking at where we came from 3 years ago, I couldn't be happier with where this program is right now.

Yeah? Well I responding to this where you said you were seeking more credit...

You beat a good SEC team LAST YEAR. It doesn't mean a thing this season. Hell, just beating Auburn this year doesn't mean much as they are down.

Again, 20 straight wins when 95% of them are against non P5 top tier talent is cool, but it doesn't mean they should be ranked higher or be in striking range of the top 5. Great story and fun team to watch no doubt. Just not top tier worthy on that schedule.

The best team UCF has played this year was Memphis, they barely won by a single point (not blowing out teams as you suggested) and that same Memphis team got boat raced by mizzou and tulane.

3 years ago, I couldn't even think about winning a damn game because we couldn't.

I am happy where we are as a team from where we were 3 years ago.
ok, then don't point out where you believe you are being wronged in the rankings/perceptions of your team. Just enjoy the ride and accept it for what it is.

A guy at the bar yesterday was talking about UCF...about how the SOS on Sarigan was something like 126...

I get it that you can only play the games scheduled, but is there any other top 10 team that has such an easy schuedule this year?

Alabama gets shit for having schedules ranked in the 50s the past 2 years(and probably next year), and I generally have not much to say about it, other than FSU kind of fucked us last year, and it should get back to normal after next year.

I usually give teams like Iowa and Wisconsin shit for having schedules in the 70's+

I have never seen a team being deemed relevant with a schedule worse than that. Boise St back in the day would at least rank in the 70's when they would schedule teams like Oregon, and then the MWC was near on the verge of making AQ status if Utah and TCU hadn't been swept up, then the BCS went away.

Like wiz said, nobody else would get a free pass on this stuff.

Shit in 2015 when you were busting my balls Iowa was like 52 in SoS. The difference between 52 and 126 is astronomical
