Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Yeah, but no other FL-based sportswriter consistently chapped the asses of the Ole Ball Sac and Corch the way Mikey did. He gets a pass from me for that alone.

I think this works in our favor, we’re set up for a dawg-graded national championship. I’ll take it.

Can you imagine if somehow they’d gotten in, won a close game like ours against someone with two losses like Ohio State, then lost to us in the title game?
It would be like we’d never won anything at all.

FWIW they wouldn’t have made 8 unless there was a group of 5 inclusion.

This is what happens when the committee ignores an undefeated team. The committee should have included UCF in the playoff. The committee also purposely ranked UCF too low all season so they could justify leaving them out.Get rid of the committee.

They played basically an FCS schedule with Maryland and Memphis added in. You can’t be serious

Your post assumes that the committee ignored UCF. Maybe it did not ignore UCF but instead gave consideration it it, looked at who it beat, and was more impressed with Alabama’s results against Alabama’s schedule than it was UCF’s results against UCF’s schedule.
The message to UCF and other Group of Five teams is that if it wants to get the football wprld’s attention it should do what FSU did under Bowden in the 1970’s and early 1980’s and play power teams on the road and build a reputation.
One last comment. I do not give a shit what the Orlando Sentinel writer thinks. He is not throwing a damper on my excitement.

The College Football Playoff is not an official NCAA Championship, so any team can call itself a national champion. The thing we are playing in is an ESPN joint partnership with the 5 major bowls and is free, under NCVAA rules, to select the participants however the joint venturers wish. If they wish to select 4 teams by drawing names from a hat, then, well, its their party and they can invite who they choose.
My point is that if the Orlando Sentinel does not like how the College Football Playoff selects its teams the Sentinel is free to start its own playoff and choose teams in a better fashion. Rather than do the heavy lifting it just wants to bitch.

In an era where you’re allowed to make your own reality, create your own facts, and deny the obvious; why shouldn’t UCF claim a National Championship? Why should any of us accept rules and conventions we don’t like or aren’t for the moment to one’s advantage? If you don’t like the system, the committee,the teams chosen by the system, it’s okay, there will be enough social media support to keep your delusion alive and well. Good sportsmanship, respect for the colligate game, respect for Georgia, respect for Alabama, ethics; What are those? Congratulations UCF for shitting where you sleep.

Although I feel their frustration, UCF can’t claim the win over Auburn as the key since that thinking only applies to ‘Bama. Unfortunately for them Georgia ruined that thinking by defeating Auburn for the SECC and that diluted UCF’s position.
Under other circumstances they may have a point. I need only to go back to UGA’s record with lesser teams last year to argue that, at any time or place, you can lose, no matter the team you are playing and their sos. UCF went through that without a scratch , whereas, we were scratched 5 times.

So if UGA was in UCF’s position, would Schultz or Bradley from the AJC proclaim us champs?

So mid-major central florida took a season to be proud of and dunked it in the cess pool of stupidity. Now, whenever I remember what they did this year, I will laugh about them, not respect them. (And I am the one who feels we should go to 8 teams to allow a Group of 5 rep, just to take away the silliness, as well as the occasional exception that might could compete…..at least through the first round.) ucf is exactly like Hawaii, circa 2007…’cepting the Dawgs actually showed up. How easily people in Florida, and writers like bianchi, forget the differences between the two levels. And why they need an annual reminder. Even USC should have had a ticket to the dance this year.
