Idk man, It's kinda like the Lavar Ball theory.

Are you talking about them?

Yep.

So they did their job.

why should they care, they don't even oversee the CFB playoff.

I honestly think Saban would be pissed it takes away from recruiting visits.

UCF is the only undefeated team and they beat a team that beat BOTH participants in the Championship game.


I don't see why they shouldn't claim it.

BYU was crowned champs in 1984 after beating 6-6 Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. I would totally claim it if I were UCF.

Check out this "tough" schedule

They can CLAIM whatever they want.

I can CLAIM I'm the king of England.

The only thing that matters is if your claim is recognized.

A little bit. I mean, Boise or Utah went undefeated a few times and never tried to claim a championship.

In a perfect world UCF would be in the playoff and one day they likely will be.

Until then, stop playing in the kiddy pool.

The transitive thing is always meaningless.

I mean Alabama lost to Auburn but beat two teams that beat Auburn, hell if they beat UGA they will have beaten 3 teams that beat Auburn.

They pulled a Auburn in 04.

AP, Coaches and playoff titles are the only ones that matter.

I couldn't agree more. The reason I posted it is because I believe this will get us closer to either and 8 team playoff or a new division that is made up of only power 5 schools, with the playoff being expanded as the most likely scenario.

This is their regular season schedule. If you want to be able to claim a national championship, you gotta play somebody.

Correct. If you can't go outside the front door to the mailbox and read "Buckingham Palace" on it, then you're just (to quote Ecclesiastes 1:14) "chasing the wind".

Can’t wait to hear the bitching and moaning when this makes it easier for the SEC to get 2 or 3 teams in every year

Roy Moore claimed voter fraud but that didn't stop VP Pence from swearing in Dougie today now did it?

I fail to see the relevance of a tier III football school claiming a national title to the SEC Rant.
