They should be co-national champs this year. It's the right thing to do.

Who was clamoring to put UCF in the playoffs before they beat an unmotivated Auburn team?
The fact of the matter is that it matters who you play. Going undefeated in the SEC is far more impressive than going undefeated in the AAC, for example.
Let's look at strength of schedule:
1 Auburn (10-4)
2 Oklahoma (12-2)
3 Ohio State (12-2)
4 Clemson (12-2)
5 Penn State (11-2)
6 Alabama (12-1)
7 Georgia (13-1)
8 TX Christian (11-3)
9 Notre Dame (10-3)
10 Iowa (8-5)
...
54 Central FL (13-0)

There's a reason why they weren't a serious contender for the playoffs in spite of their record. If they want to be taken seriously, they should schedule serious OOC opponents. If they scheduled Auburn for the regular season and beat them, they would probably be in the discussion. Winning a meaningless bowl game doesn't mean you're worthy of a National Championship.
