UCF has lost their mind!

The 12 champs getting in may sound good in theory, but its not practical... Most years (all years actually) there are multiple G5 leagues that don't deserve to be in the playoff. Nobody wants to add another round to watch Troy, FAU and Toledo get absolutely demolished by a legit-top 5 opponent. The best we will ever get is 8 teams, hopefully with one G5 team in the mix.

The point is that the G5 schools would get their shot, and the G5 champions this year were certainly capable of upsetting the big boys.

G5 schools signed off on the College Football Playoff System at the outset so there's no point in bitching about it now.

Like they had a choice.

If Bama wins the championship, that trophy becomes a total joke.

This is just a (successful) PR move by their AD, to get the football world talking about UCF and the AAC. Give ‘em theur 15 minutes and on to real life.

They did have a choice but had they elected to go in a different directuon, they would probably more irrelevant than they are in this system

Playoff playoff playoff with no less than 16 teams. Lets get it right the first time and not go the 8 team playoff.

I agree... Bama lost at Auburn by 12. Georgia lost at Auburn by 23, but happens to play in a division that is weak as water so they got another chance. I don't think Alabama being the national champs is in any way a travesty.

You are right rhino. Alabama is near the top and now they are somewhat healthy0]+

Reality therapy:

- UCF had a nice year. One of the best G5 years. But by spewing idiocy the conversation has turned from talking about a nice year to forcing people to point out how inferior it and its conference are to the true majors.

- The AAC, along with everybody else, signed off on the current system. In return for a lot of money. UCF is not the "national champion" nor is there such a thing as P6. The playoff administration should withhold payments to the AAC until it complies with its contract.

- In the bottom P5 conference, the Big 12, UCF would go about 9-3 this year. Which is solid and a accomplishment.

- Bowl results are the most over-rated thing in the world. There are like 30 teams out there that live off the "we beat Oklahoma" meme, based on some bowl win some year. Because Oklahoma never shows up in a bowl unless it is for the national championship. Not for decades. Same can be said for lots of schools. True major programs often just phone it in if they have had an underachieving season.

- List of UCF players who grew up dreaming of playing for UCF: (end of list). List of UCF players good enough to play where they really wanted to: (end of list). And that is fine. Same can be said of Marshall, or about any but 15 or so schools. Do not embarass yourself by saying otherwise.

- The reaction in Orlando? Yawn. Because like every other school in that random collection of schools, it is not even the most popular team in its own town.

UCF would go 9-3 in the PAC12?! Gtfo. Sit down nobody.
