I was curious to see how these guys do in recruiting and was very surprised.

Of the top 79 recruits in the state, not one of them chose to attend the state’s powerhouse. Of the top 100 recruits only 2 have committed so far #80 and #97. How is that possible.

They have a 1 foot 9 inch receiver in their 2018 class. Best player inch for inch in the nation.

We got a hot tip that the best football talent is in Nebraska, so we've been mostly focusing on that state.

A weak-arse schedule is a coach's best friend...

Because Miami, Florida, and Florida State are all better options.

If it's so weak, then G5 teams should go undefeated all the time.

If it's so weak, then P5 teams shouldn't constantly lose to them.

Last year, G5 had a winning record over P5 in bowl match ups.

BSU over Oregon 1-0
USF over Texas Tech 2-0
Duke over NIU 2-1
FL St. over S. Miss 2-2
Iowa St. over Memphis 2-3
Navy over Virginia 3-3
and UCF over Auburn 4-3
So G5>P5 ?

Maybe this artificial barrier that you're so hung up on, doesn't mean jack?

UCF is not talented.

Our 2nd string should win by 20

No way coach O messes them one up

Hey, when they're right, they're right. We haven't played anyone all year.

LSU has no reason to be even remotely worried about the Fiesta Bowl against a G5 with a terrible SOS missing it's starting QB.

Saw one guy on a UCF board saying LSU can't match their speed

Holy shite...

1'9" and 165#...

That's a very round little guy. He would be an absolute nightmare matchup. Our DBs are conditioned to tackle receivers from 6' to 6'4", 180-220#. They'd literally never see this guy coming

You can beat your chest about that all you want. The simple fact is that sometimes the big boys just don't give a crap about the bowl games. You are seeing players sitting more now.

Bottom line is the big programs aren't getting out of bed to play in these games, especially against crappy teams. What you posted just further proves that.

If it makes you feel better though, go ahead and keep posting it.

LOL

No. You just play 12 teams per year who recruit at least as poorly as UCF does

The excuses are being laid already. There should be no excuse or excuses if we lose UCF.

That's not an excuse, it's a fact.

I will be pissed if LSU loses to UCF, especially if we look brain dead on offense while doing it, against a team we should shred.
