I'm pretty sure that the playoff game settled it on the field.

So long as the teams invitation to the playoff is subjective we will never have a true champion. Just the selected champions.

Ok. As soon as you said this, it is obvious there is no use discussing it any further. If you think UCF had any kind of claim to being the best team in the country then there is simply no reasoning with you.

I actually said. I do not believe they were selected. That implies I don't believe they should claim the championship.

Well they were not selected by any publication or organization that was the consensus to pick a National Champion. In your world if Women's Day Magazine selected Auburn national Champions for 2017, then somebody selected them so they can claim it. Hold on, and I will see if i can find somebody somewhere that named Georgia national Champions in a few more years, because...you know...if somebody named them then they must be Champions.

There is no publication or organization that was consensus to pick a National Champion until the BCS...that is factual. The NCAA history books make that clear. The problem you'll have with looking for someone to claim uga 2017 champs is similar to Auburn's 2004 claim...the season began with certain rules by those rules you lost and awarded bama the claim. It isn't as if you were a Power 5 team that went undefeated won its bowl game and didn't get to play in the playoffs. That team if they ever exists will have a claim "if" someone selects them champion.
