I heard a talk show about this last week. A 8 team playoff could happen by 2020. It would be the 5 conference champions , group of 5 champion and 2 at-large bids. Of course, they got alot to figure out first. They even talked about doing away with conference championship games. That's why Shankey made the comment about keeping our conference title game.


Why do you keep saying group of 5 champion? That doesn't exist. There is no way to know for certain UCF would even beat a good UAB or Boise St team this year.

I will ban bet anyone that if the college football playoffs expand they will not give an automatic bid to a group of 5 team. There is no incentive to do so. The group of 5 teams bring no monetary value to the table. If the playoffs expand it will be for the sole purpose of making more money. A 4 team playoff already gives us the best team in the country as the champ every year. Anything more is just a money grab.

Scared?



Hardly. It's about not rewarding the team with the 350th ranked strength of schedule. Letting them in would be a step in the wrong direction for the CFP -- it would show your SOS doesn't actually matter and it would encourage more teams to schedule cream puffs.

Last season most UCF fans believe we would’ve upset Alabama.

That's more of a poor reflection on your fanbase than it is a prop to your football team.

Our QB even said this season we should’ve beaten Auburn by 3 TDS in the Peach.

Yet you didn't.

We were loaded w NFL talent including a 1st round CB.

Imagine if your team played a schedule of teams full of NFL talent week in and week out. That purdy little 25-0 record you're beating your chest about wouldn't be a thing.

If Milton doesn’t get hurt, we’d easily beat LSU. But we aren’t as good this year.

Ah, I see the excuse talking points are out. If LSU beats you, it's because you aren't as good as your fanbase is acting. Straight up.
