They’re brilliantly trolling you humorless SEC fans. I’d say they’re the one team who “gets it”.

I'm not a native Alabamian; I grew up in Pennsylvania, lived in California for too many years (did meet Mrs. K51 there, so that was a plus), and now live in AL.

Also, I did not go to a D-I school, and I do root for teams in the B1G, ACC, PAC-12, Big-12, and the SEC, so I consider myself somewhat impartial to all of this. The fact that I don't find it funny is because I don't think it is right for someone to take $$$ for a contract, and then dishonor the contract, even in jest.

Besides, UCF's action do not look like trolling, but they actually believe they are the national champs:

So, to heck with the championship game, Central Florida athletic director Danny White resolved. The Knights have anointed themselves national champions.
White said via Twitter that UCF will hang a national championship banner at Spectrum Stadium, where it plays its home games. The Knights will have a national championship parade, rings, the works.

Really, giving out rings is trolling? Will the UCF players in 10 years say, "No, we were just trolling the SEC and the playoff committee, but we weren't Nat'l Champs", or will they say, "Hell yeah, we were Nat'l Champs"?

Funny coming from people who are so green with envy.
