re: UCF AD claims national title

I have no problem with UCF claiming a title and doing all this. Have at it.

This is the part where you start sounding stupid.

Just saying "We went undefeated and beat the team who beat both National Title game participants" would be enough to give yourself a trophy and have some people pat you on the back.

This, though, this is laughable.

“Our wins in conference should matter a lot more,” White said. “I don’t think they gave us enough credit for beating a really good Memphis team twice. UCLA found out Memphis is pretty good. I don’t think they gave us enough credit for beating a really good South Florida team. We beat Navy at Navy. Navy had won 17 straight home games — the nation’s longest home winning streak. Those are hard games. If you’re in the Pac-12, you get credit for your in-conference games, but we don’t seem to be getting the same credit. That needs to change.”

"UCLA found out Memphis is pretty Good". LOL, UCLA went 6-7. Sounds good, can we now tout all our wins over 6-7 win P5 teams? No? Then shutup. Memphis also lost at home to a 5-loss Iowa State team in their bowl game.

"A really good South Florida team". South Florida, whose biggest win was against 6-7 Texas Tech by 4

"Navy had won 17 straight home games — the nation’s longest home winning streak." Navy went 7-6 and 4-4 in the AAC.


You don't get to claim to be the best of the big boys and then use wins over 7-6 teams "because they are Power 5 teams" as proof that you are pretty good. You are asking to be seated at the big table, and nobody at the big table gets credit for wins over teams that barely make bowl games.

AAC wins should not "matter more". UCF had an awesome season........their conference still stinks compared to the conferences they want to be included with.

- 7-5 SMU lost by 41 to 6-6 Louisiana Tech
- 6-6 Temple beat 8-4 FIU by 25
- 9-2 South Florida beat 6-6 Texas Tech by 4
- 7-4 Houston lost to 9-4 Fresno State by 6
- 6-6 Navy beat 6-6 Virginia by 42
- 10-2 Memphis lost to 7-5 Iowa State by 1
- 12-0 UCF beat 10-3 Auburn by 7

Don't give me this intellectually dishonest nonsense. Either brag about beating "a P5 team" or choose to present yourself as a P5 team. If you do the latter you don't get to brag about your wins being good because those teams beat 6-7 UCLA, 7-6 Navy or 7-6 Texas Tech. You either ask for the privileges of a "Big Boy Team" and forfeit the right to get excited about beating just any P5 team, or you stay as a fun Group of 6 team and still talk about beating UCLA or Texas Tech like it is impressive. You can't have both.
