I already said we'd compete? And how can we earn it if scheduling is out of our control and therefore you automatically write off wins as irrelevant. And yeah, UCF is an elite team. They'd hold their own and not get blown out by shitty Purdue.
A ranked Iowa versus a ranked Penn State this week. I predict a repeat of 6-4.
Nobody is saying a team is trash for losing. Just when getting blown out by a team like Purdue. Or losing to Old Dominion.
You contradict yourself in the first couple sentences. UCF could compete any given Saturday? But there isn't enough data to say UCF can compete? Or are you meaning UCF can get up for one game a year while the other team just isn't "motivated."
You guys are 8 points from being undefeated and are definitely playing some good ball right now. Winning 3 or 4 of the next 5 looks very possible. Glad Michigan isn't playing you this year!
Yeah maybe Bama will finally even the series.
USF runs a crappy department. They don't own their stadium and don't have as much control over the gate. They're begging students to increase fees to pay for an indoor practice facility or whatever. NFL stadium helps to ensure they wouldn't have nearly as a hostile environment. UF would play us when we were off campus. Not a peep since we moved on campus.
If things keep going the way they are, then don't worry buddy UF would love to play you so you could show the world how are you're the best team and you deserve to be in the playoffs and whatever it is UCF fans think of their program.
Would be PERFECT to end the season with wins over FSU, UCF then beat Miami in the beginning of the year.
I'm an Iowa fan so I might be a little biased. I feel pretty good about Iowa vs Purdue but will feel better after seeing how Purdue does against a tougher defense like Michigan St next week. Iowa's defense is top 10 in the country easily so that will keep them likely in any game. But Iowa also has another tough game at Penn St. this week, so it will be interesting to see how that goes as well.
3 top 10 AP rankings under 3 different coaches in 5 years. Two finishes. One in progress. Please name the list of programs that have pulled that off.
Nah man, I looked at UCF's record since the mid to early 2000's something like 110-93, some of that in the CUSA & MAC ; For reference since someone brought up Boise, they had only like 32 losses. That's what everyone is talking about. It took Boise near a decade to get to the big stage, and when they went Undefeated and beat a #4 in the BCS ranked Undefeated TCU in 2009, they didn't claim a national title either.

I've just been lectured on how wins don't matter in the American. So why the hell would they in the WAC and MWC?
Sigh.
Don't care. You can do what you want. They can do what they want. That's what college football is all about and how the system is designed. Nobody is taking away from the CFP or BCS champs.
1. The Big East had zero bluebloods
Uhh.... UCF literally played Michigan just 2 years ago.
Teams left because ESPN was directing them to, members got picked off at ESPN's discretion. Yeah the structure was inherently unstable, but once the plan was to consolidate to 5 P5 conferences, the one plan they did have to add strong teams blew up. TCU, Boise, UCF, etc. were all on the path to be elevated to shore up the FB side with the Catholic schools on board.
Houston got a hot P5 team. But nobody can predict when a team would be good. We've already been through this, but it's an impossible standard. There isn't even a point of going through it again because there are zero scenarios where a G5 would be let in.
Oh, I'm definitely not disregarding their achievements at all. They were a great team and beat Bama (but many say they didn't care at that point). I'm just saying they weren't BCS champions.
