UCF should be National Champions

Lets take out the SEC

Put UCF in the Big Ten and this thread wouldn't exist

[JuTMSY4]

eh

Put UCF in the Big Ten and this thread wouldn't exist

at least it would be all conference champions, right?

Do you think UCF played the same Auburn team it would have played knowing a national title was on the line

Edit - Nevermind. I said something that didn't make sense. What else is new.

[JuTMSY4]

seems like it

did the team change?

Why does the bowl system exist at all then?

There really is nothing new here. Unless DIV IA goes to a IAA playoff bracket these discussions will happen every year. I admit that I'm biased because I'm a UGA fan, but they split with Auburn and won the game that mattered. My organization is based in Orlando and chock full of UCF fans. When i get back in to the office after this "bomb cyclone" I'll have to chat with them.

[JuTMSY4]

haha, obviously

I think I just continue to be baffled that when they even went to the BCS and more specifically the championship game that a playoff was just ignored. I remember the discussion at the time was the bowls and cash, but with a 3 game playoff, it's only enhanced the money. I know we'll only ever get 8, but 16 or even 24 or 32 makes sense with every FBS conference getting a bid plus a number of Wild cards to make everyone happy. The idea of excluding teams based on conference causes power 5 teams to continue to isolate themselves (which they already do).

That was UCF's super bowl. For Auburn it was a vacation and some free swag and a football game.

UCF won the game fair and square, but they aren't one of the top 4 teams in football. I'm surprised people are even debating that to be honest.

I encourage everyone to watch the real sanctioned NCAA DIV I College Football Championship Final this Saturday at Noon when defending champs JMU face off against perennial contender North Dakota State.

I'm not sure

I watched more college this year than almost ever before and that UCF squad was at least as good as oklahoma and probably has a better defense (duh).

Isn’t Auburn 1-4 in its last 5 bowl games?

Malzahn is to bowl games what FF was to NFC championship games

[McCarthy12]

With one notable exception!

[ishimonster]

Don't know about that

Sure they missed out on the ultimate goal of making the CFP but the Auburn players on this team weren't there the last time Auburn went to a national championship. It was still a NY6 bowl.
