Zero chance. It is the playoff committees job to make sure that teams like UCF get nowhere near the playoff.

they missed on trump badly but i think they gave him a 30% chance to win before election night?

Ya, I know we're way off topic here, but from my understanding, most everyone was way off base bashing 538 for the Trump thing as they gave Trump a better chance than almost all of the other projection polls, right?

Days before the election they gave him almost zero chance.

But wait...

I don't think that's correct:

The Twitter link from that article probably supports 538 the best here, no?

I don’t get this meme, 538 had better odds than Vegas on trump winning the election. Sure, there writers didn’t buy into their own model during the primaries but their model was more in favor of trump than anyone else

The SEC will make things interesting because I think Auburn wins out and goes to the SECCG for a rematch with UGA.

If UGA wins, you'll have a one-loss Alabama and a one-loss UGA. The SEC might still take two spots.

The chances for UCF are almost zero.

It’s bull shite that we will never have a G-5 team in the playoff. Particularly this year when I am not overly impressed with any good power 5 team

Yea, if Bama loses 1 game and misses the SEC CG, UCF has less than zero chance at that point, as you mentioned, Bama and the SEC CG winner will certainly be ahead of UCF.

UCF has a student enrollment of +64,000 & a stadium capacity of just over 43,000 yet during an undefeated season they can't fill said stadium.

Scott Frost has made them semi-relevant yet will be gone at Nebraska, Florida, Tennessee, TAMU, etc next year just in time for them to disappear into the nothingness of the G5 once again.
