No shite. They defend their claim so much you would think they were the ones in the trenches playing. The players have a right to bitch about it, but fans? StopRobot is that 70 year old douche who has Crimson everywhere in his house and script A decals all over his truck.


Not 70

Dont own a truck

Their Conference agreed to recognize that claim in order to be able to at least have a chance to sit at the table of the Big 6 Bowls (money). It was a token offer by the Playoff Committee to present a image of unity. The Playoff Committee knew that going to 4 Teams wasn't going to present a true Champion, but they threw out money to keep the mid-majors happy. They never expected a team to really challenge the claim of the Championship. UCF(and maybe USF) is the one school that has the recruiting base, facilities and population base that can throw a wrench in the Playoffs guise of a Champion.



If you dont like the deal then dont sign it

he NCAA does not run the college football playoff. They are losing millions as a member of FBS already. They can also form their own division with the other G5 schools with their own championship. Their representative VOTED to form the playoff under the current rules.


Not the NCAA, but the Playoff threw the mid-majors a bone/Bowl in order to prevent them from forming their own division and playoff system. The P5 Conferences really do not want that to happen.

The P5 would be thrilled if the G5 formed their own playoff.

People recognize the SEC Shorts people and don't think that this idea was formulated by the university and/or students. Right?

They do not want it because if would force them to play each other and cannibalize each other. The last thing they want is for a P5 Champion to have 3-4 loses.

That is never going to happen. The last thing the P5 want is some directional school no one knows in the playoff

Do the math, 60 Teams having to fill a 12 Game schedule. You will start seeing some divisional breakdowns where a team plays other teams twice in the regular season (NFL Style). I do not think that would be good for the College Game.

If you think UCF had the players or coaching staff to stay within 2 touchdowns of Alabama, you're not worth arguing with.


Someone came up with what the point spread would have been. Alabama would be 21 point favorites.

The irony is that Alabama fans, who will defend their bogus title claims to their death bed, are up in arms over UCF claiming a title for going undefeated.

The added kicker is that UCF beat the one team Alabama lost to

Guess UCF shouldn't have agreed to the system in place, huh?

Which school was it that hired someone in the 80s to dig through old records and find old titles to claim? It wasn't lsu, auburn, aTm, arky, ole miss, miss state, UT, UK, USC, UGA, UF, Mizzou, or Vandy if that helps

The P5 don't give a rat frick whether or not the G5 form their own division. The G5 need to play the P5 in order to maintain their existence. The P5 could simply play each other and would make out just fine.

Georgia did it too, yet you don't call them out for some reason. Same with Kentucky and Ole Miss.
shite, UK eventually made their own knockoff crystal football for 1950.

Most of the other schools did the same thing. But you're right: they didn't do it in the '80s.

Anyone who'd claim that title for Bama and knows the real story has no credibility to speak of
