Good.

Everyone gets a trophy.

Zach Morris

especially teams who never lost a game.

smokymountainrain

4/23/18 12:33pm

So teams should schedule as winnable a schedule as possible so they can “win” a national title?

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:34pm

Bama does it.

crazY

4/23/18 12:37pm

True but they do beat more than one Auburn a year. The SEC in most yrs is a gauntlet.

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:39pm

Bama's nonconference schedule was harder than UCF's

The Shazad

4/23/18 12:42pm

UCF did try to play GA Tech but the game got canceled due to weather

displacedute

4/23/18 1:08pm

but they can't take credit for winning that game

The Shazad

4/23/18 1:28pm

Yeah, but they can take credit for scheduling it.

displacedute

4/23/18 3:42pm

It's was UCF's decision not to reschedule

displacedute

Florida State has been better than Maryland for the past 50 years

The Shazad

4/23/18 6:58pm

the system should change to determine a real champion on the field. a team

smokymountainrain

4/23/18 12:37pm

I agree 100%.

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:38pm

True....but they still aren't National Champs.

WJCougar

4/23/18 1:00pm

obviously they feel differently and they have every right to.

smokymountainrain

4/23/18 1:15pm

Doesn't matter how they "feel"

WJCougar

4/23/18 1:32pm

“National champ” is a false notion in CFB. They didn’t win the pageant

Colorado

4/23/18 1:36pm

Whatever floats your boat.....UCF is not the National Champ no matter what

WJCougar

4/23/18 5:07pm

The system is not going to change to include the G5

Nat Gas Man

4/23/18 1:22pm

Well, they *did* beat the one team that beat BOTH the CFP invitational finalists

WhiteKnight

4/23/18 1:11pm

but they did it after the qualifying round for the Final Four

The Shazad

4/23/18 1:33pm

As a BYU fan that claims the 1984 National Title, I don't begrudge them doing it

WhiteKnight

4/24/18 2:05pm

whether their accomplishments are more impressive is a different question

The Shazad

4/24/18 2:15pm

Exactly. BYU IS the 1984 National Champion in the record books.

WJCougar

4/24/18 3:34pm

In most record books, and in the ones that matter most, but not unanimous.

displacedute

4/24/18 3:56pm

BYU IS the 1984 National Champion.....just accept it.

WJCougar

4/24/18 4:06pm

Yes, did you read my post?

displacedute

4/24/18 4:13pm

Yes....lots of rambling about fake national champions.

WJCougar

4/24/18 4:31pm

So... no.

displacedute

4/24/18 4:38pm

If you like the fake stuff that's your own problem.

WJCougar

4/24/18 4:48pm

The NCAA doesn't name national champs.

displacedute

4/24/18 5:00pm

There have been zero legit national champs. Until there is a sane way to

Colorado

Whomever owns the sports and makes the rules makes it legit. NCAA does not own

Nat Gas Man

4/24/18 5:44pm

I'm fine with the CFP crowning their beauty qeeen but it's not a champion.

Colorado

4/24/18 5:59pm

...and controlled a team start to finish that beat the "national champion" during the regular season. It's a joke.

mulletino

4/23/18 12:34pm

I think they deserved a playoff spot. But claiming national champ is a bit much.

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:35pm

Well, they weren't given that shot. Never will be as long as the P5 gets their way. So I congratulate them.

mulletino

4/23/18 12:37pm

If this leads to changes to the system then I’ll be glad they did this.

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:38pm

Auburn lost like 4 games last year

The Shazad

4/23/18 12:36pm

No one thinks they are the national champion. But the fact that the idiotic system doesn't even give them a chance

mulletino

4/23/18 12:38pm

Agreed. I prefer a 16 team playoff regardless if they are P5’s or G5. Pick the best 16 teams and last man

Zach Morris

4/23/18 12:40pm

they gave themselves rings and a banner, so I think they do

The Shazad

4/23/18 12:43pm

They can think whatever they want. They beat 4 excellent teams and ran the table. Now, I don't think they would have

mulletino

4/23/18 12:46pm

they beat 1 top 20 team

The Shazad

4/23/18 12:50pm

They beat Memphis twice. Who cares what Memphis was ranked earlier in the season. They also beat USF who

mulletino

4/23/18 12:52pm

Memphis didn't end up top 20 because they lost in their bowl game

The Shazad

4/23/18 12:58pm

Good for them. The system sucks.

mulletino

4/23/18 12:30pm

What that guy who insulted TNT earlier said ^^^^^^

Good for them. There's no one who can say they weren't the best team, because

I wonder how Scott Frost will reconcile that accomplishment now that he's in

StarMan

4/23/18 12:38pm

He’s a coach he doesn’t have a voice in this

Nat Gas Man

4/23/18 12:57pm

I mean if a reporter were to ask him what he thought about UCF claiming the NC.

StarMan

4/23/18 1:02pm

while both are dumb, UCF had way more reason to act this way than the Utes

coltonbyu

4/23/18 1:17pm

Why?

displacedute

4/23/18 4:12pm

just going off who they beat, and the fact that there wasnt a 4 team playoff

coltonbyu

4/23/18 4:14pm

Utah beat a much tougher schedule than UCF.

displacedute

4/23/18 4:22pm

Claiming a national championship is great simply because it highlights how dumb
