Did everyone agree to play for this title before the season
I believe all 10 conferences agreed to the terms of the CFP.

Cecil Hurt says it best.


The conference that UCF is in, American Athletic Conference, is part of the governance of the CFP. Their commissioner, Michael Aresco, is on the Management Committee. LINK

I believe all the 10 conferences, including theirs, receive revenue from the CFP.... LINK

Bama’s 1941 team beat 7 major programs
Got shut out by Mississippi State and Vandy and finished #20 in the AP.

UCFs undefeated season is better than that.

How many P5 programs did they beat during the season? How many Top 15?

Going undefeated against the Florida Schools for the Deaf, Blind, and Auburn Fans doesn’t mean jack shite.

Why would anyone have a problem with this? Who cares?

I mean, this is at least the most semi-round about defensible argument of these type of teams. Went undefeated and beat a team that literally beat both teams in the National Title game.

It would at least make a good t-shirt (which is kind of the only point).

Yep, like Auburn's 2004 season. They could claim it if they wanted to. I think they were the only undefeated team in the country that year. Got screwed like Bama's 1966 team.

And didn't Arkansas have an undefeated season in 1964, though Bama got the hardware due to the rules at the time.

You would be wrong if you thought they were the only undefeated team.

Haha - I meant UCF with the shirts. You can say national champs and then talk shite about the SEC/Auburn beating UGA/Bama and you beating them.

But I vividly remember the Auburn rings.

This is cute. You play no one all year and give a good but unmotivated team their 4th loss and you think it give the right to act like the kings of the world just because you didn't lose? cool story.

UCF did beat a team that beat both NC game participants

But Clemson beat the team that beat both NC game participants. I think they should split it with UCF.

Wait... Bama beat Clemson. Maybe a three way split is the right thing to do? Or should Auburn get in there too since they beat Bama?
