They really could take OM place in the conference, hanging up imaginary banners. Still waiting on an OM fan to tell me about their 2003 trip to Atlanta.

This is seriously next level stuff. Bama (and UM) at least have some neutral third party who anointed them as champions at the end of the season. They weren't just making it up themselves.

You're trying too hard, UCF. I get it. You're pissed and I would be too. But the fact is, you beat a demoralized Auburn team that had nothing to play for. That's not a national championship.

Yeah, if Auburn would have known that was the National Championship game, a different team would have shown up.

Has anyone claimed a National Championship with a weaker strength of schedule?
UCF’s schedule is ranked 54th. Fifty-Fourth.

Nah. I do kinda feel for them. I don't think they deserved to be in the playoff but I do feel for them. Having a parade is not unprecedented as their peach opponent did the same thing in 04 when they went undefeated but got left out of the BCS NC game. I would definitely hang a banner too but not for a natty. Just to commemorate and undefeated season.

I remember a similar thing in the late 90s when a tommy bowden led Tulane went undefeated and finished in the top 10. Both bowden and tulane went south thereafter.

If it annoys some of our snobbier SEC brethren, I'm for it. OBTW, how many SEC

teams are scrambling to play UCF over the next few years? As of now, no SEC teams are on UCF's schedules through 2020.

I wish we would play them. Easy win. I think we would've beaten them this year pretty handily. Auburn should have, but decided they didn't care about the game, apparently.

Yes, Bama claimed fake national titles, too. Guess what? Everyone else thinks that’s stupid as well.

I did not think Ole Miss hanging a banner for winning the West in 2003 could be topped, but this just might do it.

No, according to Wikipedia, this Danny White was born in 1980

He's Mike White's brother (HC of Florida).

Absurd to call them an easy win. Completely absurd. We lost to Ole Miss and were blown out by the team they beat.
Claim Auburn didnt care about the bowl game yada yada. Its still absurd to say UCF would have been an easy win for us.

How'd I miss that? I don't recall watching them play in Atlanta. In fact, they may be the only SEC team other than Vanderbilt who has never been to Atlanta.

This might explain something. Look where the guy has worked
[h=2]Administrative career[edit][/h]White has been at the forefront of Buffalo's rebranding to become "New York's big time athletics department".[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] He has initiated a long-term capital funding project to develop Buffalo's athletic facilities, notoriety, reputation, and stature to represent the State of New York.[SUP][6][/SUP] During his time as Athletic Director, Danny has restructured Buffalo's athletic department through its management and coaches. His most notable change was the replacement of Reggie Witherspoon for Bobby Hurley, a former 2-time NCAA champion with Duke University and son of star coach, Bob Hurley.[SUP][7][/SUP] White has also launched the New York Bulls Initiative (NYBI) which serves as a comprehensive initiative to cultivate a local and national presence and generate an everlasting sense of loyalty to the University's athletic brand. This initiative emphasizes "NEW YORK" on the school's athletic logos. At Buffalo, he oversaw an athletics program with 20 varsity sports and more than 500 student athletes. In November 2015, he was hired as the athletic director of the UCF Knights.[SUP][1][/SUP] In the position, he also serves as the executive vice president for the University of Central Florida Athletics Association, the private non-profit corporation that is responsible for the administration and financial management of the UCF Knights athletic programs. As UCF's director of athletics, White will oversee the hiring of a new head football coach, and direct over $70 million in pending athletic facility construction and upgrades.[SUP][8][/SUP]
White previously served as the senior associate athletic director at the University of Mississippi, worked on development at the California State University, Fresno, and worked as an administrator at other Mid-American Conference schools, Ohio University and Northern Illinois University.

If you have the best record in the Division along with another team, you are the division Co-Champs. Am I missing something? There's BS galore at UM, but this ain't it to me.

You think UCF has been out trying to get buy games from SEC teams? Or even 2 and 1's? They certainly could have been, but I wouldn't assume that's true. I'm guessing they've been pulling a USM and trying to get home and homes.

So if we had won the Egg Bowl in 2014 or the Arkansas game in 1999 and had the same record as Bama but lost the head to head meeting and the tiebreaker for Atlanta, you would be OK with us hanging a banner as SEC West Champs?

Now if you want to hang a banner that says Co-Champions, I’m OK with that. But don’t pretend you were the real champs when LSU beat you on your home field and also won the conference and national title.

I don't know what the banner says, but they are the 2003 SEC West Co-Champions in football who lost the tie breaker to play in the SEC Championship Game. Those are the facts.

To be accurate the banner should say Co-Champs, but last I looked our 1962 and 1991 SEC Champs banners in the Hump don't mention that Kentucky and LSU, respectively, were also Champs those years. It's just the nature of the thing, marketing and all that.

The playoff committee says it doesn’t consider strength of schedule as much as quality of wins. UCF has beaten Memphis twice, USF, Auburn and decent teams in FIU and Temple. Looking for a quality win in addition to Clemson you’d have to go with.... us? aTm?

Honestly, in a year where there were few reliably good teams it felt silly to deny the most reliable team in UCF. It feels exceedingly silly when you consider how miserable Bama played all year. If they manage to play a third good game this season they’ll probably end up winning the national championship and that’s a joke. Besides, UCF is using their moment in the spotlight to fix something they feel is flawed and doing it in a positive way.

This is not getting you in the playoffs. No sort of playoff. Maybe if they go undefeated next season, and get to 4th...... Might have to go undefeated two seasons in a row....end up #4 in two seasons.....basically gonna have to hope the conference grows nuts or that Pitt has a monster 2 years...and they sweep em.
