We don't hold them to a higher standard, we hold them to the same standard, and they fall short every time.
I hope we get UCF in our bowl game.. ..that should end this talk one way or another..
Yeah, because if we beat the Gators, that'll cement our greatness! lol come on, now.
Lol, must have looked up bowl projections. Good edit.

#2 in total offense
#5 in 3rd down conversions
#4 in rushing offense
#9 in sacks allowed
#7 in scoring offense
#2 in turnover margin
So only 3 stats matter in the judgement of a team?

I don't think we are one of the 4 best. I do think Clemson, ND, Michigan, Georgia and Bama, IN THAT ORDER, are better than UCF. But, I'm not gonna sit here and say they don't deserve to be in the playoff. G5 teams will always be met with this stigma. We play crappy schedules. Yes, but, outside of maybe 2-3 games, so to mostly ALL P5 teams. If anyone thinks that UCF isn't AT LEAST a top 10 team in the country right now, they don't know college football. Sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings.
You might be a top 10 team, but you also might be a top 15 team. I think anyone in the 3-15 range is capable of beating anyone in that group on a given Saturday.
IDK if we hang in with Georgia or Michigan. To be honest. But I will say we could hang in there/beat Oklahoma, LSU and those below them and above us.
You might have to find a running game to beat Georgia, but I'm not excited about Michigan.
Clearly their resume isn't good enough to be top 4
However does anyone here legitimately think UCF couldn't compete with pretty much anyone ?
I debate on this this forum all the time with people about expanding the playoff and I hear consistently " it's the committees job to pick the 4 best teams "
Ok . So why does the SoS matter then ? Is it not entirely possible UCF is one of the 4 best teams in the country even if their resume isn't one of the 4 best ?
If you concede it is POSSIBLE for them to actually be one of the 4 best teams despite their resume then why do we hold UCF ( and other G5) to a higher standard than we do P5?
This is not me advocating for UCF. I'm just curious as to why we hold G5 teams to a "deserving " standard we don't hold P5 teams to
It's a system based off fear and money. And it sucks.Really the opposite is true. Most sports in this country don't crown the best team. They hold a tournament at seasons end and crown the last one standing.
You can't get more true than crowing the best team in the sport that year.
I'd rather it be hard to win myself and not a participation trophy. There's a solid reason I typically prefer CFB over the NFL although I follow both. Seahawks went into the playoffs one year at 7-9 and knocked off the Saints in the first round. That was just gross. An abomination.
No, the world wouldn't implode if an 8th seed or 16th seed or whatever other nonsense some want ended up with a title. It would at that point just be yet another last man standing trophy in a sea of them that this country is endlessly obsessed over. Maybe I'd have to take up european soccer at that point or something.
why should bama want ucf? Winning the aac doesn't mean you are legit and beating auburn doesnt make you bama ready. Im asking a simply question..It's a system based off fear and money. And it sucks.
Big schools are afraid of losing what they've paid for, like Nebraska now or Michigan until the last two weeks. So they hide from the lil guys.
It's fucking gay. Bama should want UCF. Not the other way around.
Who else do they have to beat?why should bama want ucf? Winning the aac doesn't mean you are legit and beating auburn doesnt make you bama ready. Im asking a simply question..
