Ree, you are grasping and you know it. Stop comparing 2017 UCF to 2018 Clemson. It’s a bad argument and you know it.

Okay, first off this has turned into a Clemson vs UCF. That was not my attention. Clemson is a good team. Are they good enough to go undefeated through the SEC? I don't think so. I don't think they could go through the B12 or B10 undefeated. They are in a shite P5 conference that should stick to basketball and baseball.


But anyway, you then said this in response to UCF not being "chosen" for the playoffs when maybe they should have:
"Ree, I usually enjoy your posts, but this is such a bad take. UCF had no business in that conversation."

So forget about Clemson 2018 and my belief that Clemson only made it because they played maybe one ranked team the whole season.

What about Clemson who scored 6 total points in the 2017 playoffs while losing to Alabama? Could UCF, a team that averaged just over 48 points a game have scored more than 6 points? UCF beat the team that beat national champion Alabama 26-14 that same year by a score of 34-27. Yes, Auburn gave up more points to UCF than Bama. I think UCF could have scored more points than Clemson in the 2017 playoffs.

What about Oklahoma who lost to Iowa State at home that year? The Oklahoma team that lost to Georgia by 6 in the playoffs? Again, UCF just happened to beat the team that Georgia had lost to earlier in the season. Would UCF have scored more points than OU against Georgia?

What about Georgia who had also lost to Auburn that season 17-40 before getting a rematch? Again UCF beat Auburn on their first try. Something BOTH Bama and Georgia could not do.

So all four of the teams in the playoffs in 2017 had a loss. Two of the playoff teams including the one that won the national championship had lost to Auburn. The other two lost to these teams who had lost to Auburn. UCF beat that same Auburn.

A case can be made that UCF deserved the chance to go head-to-head with the teams that lost to a team they beat.

The "choosers" just knew that Auburn, after beating Bama AND Georgia would wipe the floor with UCF. This would keep the braindead public thinking their system actually works. Didn't quite work out that way though did it?


Every team in the playoffs in 2017 had either lost to Auburn or a team Auburn beat. The only undefeated team in the top 25 that year beat Auburn. THEY DESERVED TO BE IN THE CONVERSATION.
