That’s funny as hell. I like it. Wonder if Urban Meyer, Paul Chryst, James Franklin are on the horn right now printing up banners and asking for their natty title bonuses.

I can see Barey Alvarez right now —- “ummmmmm....... no”

Tough to argue with this, and I am a SEC homer.

UCF didn't just "fluke" beat Auburn, they dominated.

Frost really coached up that secondary in the bowl season, or I should say, the UCF secondary improved tremendously from the last game to The Peach Bowl.

Probably the best Non-Power 5 team ever. Boise was pretty good, but needed a lot of trickeration to beat OU. UCF just lined up and won.

They didn’t have to buy their own trophy or buy their own rings they legitimately earned them. I have lost all respect for the UCF program for pulling this stunt.

Natty rings are not given out by the ncaa. The school buys them. They are allowed a set amount for conference championships and National Championship for gifts. ie:rings.

No they didn't.
There were better teams and different publications.
UCF has just as much of a riht to claim an NC as anyone playing saturday.

This comment would have lost you all your credibility if you had any

The way the secondary performed really surprised me. That was our major weakness the last several games. Probably a combination of rest and coaching adjustments. Chin came through.

I respect your opinion, but now respect UCF even more for what the are doing. I think its Great. IMO, they have a good logical argument to say why they are the National Champions.

I loved how they drove a stake in the ground and made a commitment to recognize their Team, Fans Alumni and University with this accomplishment.

Go Knights! Stay the Course

That and the way the DT/DE performed. Pittman and Hill will see the NFL. Allowed UCF to drop into coverage, just like Auburn game planned. Except UCF had more push up-front.

Getting a big push from 3/4 upfront is the key to winning at an elite level. This is why pass rushing DE are so big in the NFL.

FWIW one national poll had UCF as their #1 team before the bowl game and yes it is recognized and included in the Bowl Championship committee's rankings.
I have stated in the past UCF has a spectacular season, but you just can't have your own parade and by yourself a trophy and rings and say that's that.

Why not? The playoff committee is not something sanctioned by the NCAA and by their own admission they stated they don't have any hard rules for choosing who is in the playoffs. Sometimes it's this and sometimes it's that. If that doesn't sound like a bogus system nothing does. UCF 2018 National Champions.

Works for me. If someone wants to set up a system to declare a national champion, it should have some criteria other than “we put some people in a room and come out later with 4 teams they liked”.

If that’s the system, eff em. National titles all around.

What the hell are you talking about?

Below is an article about some rings Iowa handed out for the 2015 regular season.

Regular season.

Overall record in 2015 was 12-2 and didn’t win a championship of any kind.

And you awarded them rings.

What screams “participation trophy” more than handing out rings for winning....... exactly nothing?

You’re preaching to other fanbases what they can and can’t do?

What’s next? Kardashians bitching about the lack of quality TV programming?
