Should UCF get in??
Oct 23, 2018, 2:04 PM
|
|
I do look at UCF as a college football "little brother" almost to teams like Florida and FSU with their mediocre scheduling due to conference. But looking at them do they deserve more credit? Winning 20 games in a row even against their own conference is not easy. Beating Auburn happened last year but raised eyebrows, this year though I noticed they played Pitt and drummed them easily. Notre Dame on the other hand severely struggled with Pitt. With this it really raised the question of does UCF deserve more recognition, they've done everything they can including beating ACC and SEC teams over this span and out performed the #3 team by the tune of 200 more yards 8 more first downs 26 more points allowing the same amount of yards nearly as well of being in strong control of the game from start to finish, Notre Dame gaining the lead with under 6 minutes left... If UCF doesn't get credit for this then should Notre Dame be punished for struggling with Pitt just as Clemson so often falls when they don't "dominate" an opponent?

Excellence, like being undefeated?

Honestly, to me its this simple...
If it stays at 4 teams and UCF doesn't get in (again) then it is effectively saying that a non power5 conference team (or very select independents) cannot every win the title and as such they should create a new subdivision of football for which they are eligible to win the title. It make no sense to me to play in a division(or subdivision) of football that you can't ever win even if you go undefeated.
So, either expand to 8 and give all FBS level teams a chance to earn their way there, or setup a secondary division between FCS and FBS.

I agree bc, even if they don't play in the NCG, if they get a win in the playoffs, that would prove they deserve being mentioned as a contender with the big dogs!!!

If you have undefeated Bama and ND with a 1 loss Big10 Champ
Oct 23, 2018, 2:12 PM
|
|
and a 1 loss Clemson, you're gonna have a lot of national media pushing for UCF to get in over a 1 loss Clemson with the ACC down.
I doubt it would happen, but I can promise you people would like to see UCF get a chance at Bama instead of Clemson vs Bama part 4.

Their strength of schedule is currently ranked 127th nationally.
u5c may even be undefeated with that schedule.

Agreed, but they've thumped every opponent that's been placed in front of them. They had a close call against Memphis who has the top rusher in the country who the 2nd half they contained greatly but other than that they've been all 3+ score games including this week with a backup QB.

just reiterating... 127 out of 130 schedules is BAD

Not a single game against a team with a winning record and all but one have a losing record.
The cfp committee doesn’t care about a 20 game streak, just the games this year

Bull. They have not “thumped” everyone they have played. They were down BIG to Memphis and lost due to a massive choke job. THEY HAVEN’T PLAYED ANYBODY! The whole question of them being in the CFP is INSANE.

The gap between the top 4 and 5-8 is already large enough. No point pretending there's more than 1 POSSIBLE team to get in. Past few years there has been 1 team that didn't belong even. FSU got killed, Michigan state, Ohio State, Washington, all of these teams were severely over matched so why would you put in 4 more teams when you can't even find 4 that are capable?

If they win out they will have 2 top 25 wins potentially as well as a better head to head game against ND. Navy plays both teams as well so they could potentially out perform notre dame in 2 games with 2 top 25 games and 2 power 5 wins and a conference championship. Gets tricky thinking of it like that.

If they win out they would have as many top 25 wins as we do.

Easier said than done. When they scheduled UNC, they were coming off an ACCCG appearance and were top 15, but they ended up sucking this year, and the game was canceled by a hurricane anyway.

During the preseason media days back in August, the NCAA made a statement which retroactively named UCF the 2017 college football playoff champions, with follow up comments stating something tot he effect that Alabama could not be considered the 2017 champion as they did not meet the requirements for playoff consideration.

Then why is there a statement about in the 2018 NCAA media guide?
The NCAA has never before in their history recognized any team as "national champion", until this year when they retroactively recognized UCF as champion back in August.

Press statement, other articles... either way, this legitimizes UCF's claim given that the NCAA has recognized them as 2017 national champions.

I don't think they are going to survive their closing stretch unbeaten either.

All 3 are in the 32-40 range in S&P+ with USF actually being the weakest of the three.
