No question. The #1 team in the University of Central Florida Knights, the only undefeated team in major college football. Alabama couldn’t even win their own conference and Georgia got beat by Auburn who LOST to UCF.
There is no logical way UCF should not be #1. This is a game for second place. The whole CFP is a scam so the rich can get richer. It’s not for selecting the best team and this season PROVES it!
YAWN. Give it up.
Compare Georgia v. Auburn on a neutral field (SEC Championship) to UCF (great team, for sure) v. Auburn on a neutral field (bowl game). Just a touchdown win for UCF in a great bowl game, but Georgia dominated Auburn in the SECC.
Let’s see.....
UCF played Maine, Memphis, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Austin Peay, Connecticut, and Temple.
Need I say more?
UCF isn’t #1 because of strength of schedule.
Yep- UCF
I agre with you a little but UCF only played Auburn who they beat and maybe Memphis who were ranked once or twice this year
Playing SEC is just brutal and it shakes down teams and inariably they get losses
No other conference with talent as deep
But I do agree they should have had some shot
Nothing to stop an add on game and make a network bid for it for Feb 1/2
I think a much broader based playoffs is the only solution to satisfy everyone
My dad would never believe a metro college of recent note like UCF could play so well
Next Nashville State will be ranked..lol
Or Miami Dade community....or NYSU at Stoney Brook..lol
UCF has one of the best scoring defenses in the country. But Alabama has the #1 scoring defense in the country.
UCF has one of the best pass defenses in the country. But Alabama has the #1 pass and run defense in the country.
UCF’s offense showed up around 50th in the country in the pass and run. But Alabama has the #9 scoring offence and # 5 run and #13 pass offense.
I think Alabama is a better team than UCF. I can’t think of a better system than the one they have now of playing off the top four teams. The bottom two, #3 Georgia and #4 Alabama turned out to be the two best and I think we’ll see Alabama as the best.
As far as calculating the top 25 college teams goes, the way I see it, no matter what factors and weighted measurements are used, there will always be disagreements about it. Don’t know how you can expand anymore games to beyond the top four. IMO you can’t have, or shouldn’t have, more than one extra football game beyond the bowl games, which is what we have now. The risk of injury is too great.
There will always be disappointments in the formula to calculate the FBS top 25 because there are so many moving parts, but I think the process, if not the formula, is a good one. Maybe the formula can be improved. There certainly are a lot of moving parts and from what I’ve seen, you get 25 people and they have 25 different ways they would do the FBS formula.
Too bad the “best” team’s coach left to go to a “better” program...
God. You are an idiot.
Memphis losing to Iowa State in their Bowl Game, didn’t help UCF’s argument.
