re: Memphis shuts up UCF

If you don’t believe the CFP is rigged and the playoffs are nothing more than an invitational that are void of its own stated rules.

What do you think half the teams in every NCAA sanctioned tournament are? They’re selected, at large, by a committee.

And how are they void of their own stated rules? Their rules are to select the 4 best teams. Now, I do have my opinion on whether the committee is a better way to select teams than letting a system like the BCS select the teams, but to say they're not following their own rules is a farce.

Yeah LSU fans love to talk about what they were missing, but won't ever mention UCF was missing McKenzie Milton who carried that team for two years.

Well, LSU won, so who cares? But since you mentioned it, it sure seems like UCF has been plug and play at the QB position so I’m not really seeing that argument. Milton hasn’t played since that injury, yet UCF’s offense has stayed the same. They didn't have any trouble putting up 56 against Memphis in their conference championship game without Milton, what gives? Dare I say Milton was the product of a great system? UCF ran the ball more than they threw regardless. Milton had like 2500 yards passing through 11 games, so what are we really talking about here?

But LSU, quite literally, had guys playing that hadn't taken a snap the entire season before that game and one guy, who, quite literally, had played wide receiver his entire career until that game. As a matter of fact, I don't believe he'd played a single snap on either side if the ball in his career prior.

Again, it doesn't really matter because, as stated, LSU won, but the only reason that point was belabored was because UCF fans were acting like it was a closer game than it was. In reality, UCF was out-gained by 300 yards. They scored TDs on a hail mary at the end of the half, scored on a pick 6 on a questionable call that probaby should have been defensive holding (and targeting block on the return that wasn't called), and benefited from really horrible RZ play-calling by LSU that resulted in 3 short FGs. That game was complete dominated by a pretty good, not great LSU team.

They averaged over 270 yards rushing prior to that game and were held to 130 yards on 30 carries. They were held to under 100 yards passing against a defense that was depleted by opt outs, injuries, etc. They were averaging over 530 yards per game heading into that game and were held to less than half that. Hell, even the TOP was ridiculous. LSU held the ball for nearly 45 minutes in the game. The score just was not indicative, in the least, as to what happened, and that final score is what UCF fans held onto after that game as if it wasn't total domination. They just didn't want to accept that Auburn, the year prior, had no interest in their game because they had lost in the SECCG the game prior to miss out on the playoffs. And then really didn't want to accept that LSU exposed them for what they were, a good G5 team benefiting from playing other G5 teams for 2 years and not on the level of even a pretty good P5 team and having no business and no argument deserving to be playing in the CFPs

Except you're missing a huge component.

Every conference is represented and there are bylaws that require specific amount of teams to be in , so again the system is rigged.

They do n0ot follow the rules we were told,ie conference championships mean something. Kirby Hocutt just shite and wiped his arse with the rules. Why did you think theres been so much complaining about Bama, Ohio St getting in when the conference champ was left to go somewhere else. In Bama's case they did not even win the division. It is an invitational not a true tournament.

UCF has an inferiority complex. Wants to be counted among the big boys in the state when it hasn't earned that distinction.

I guess sorry they took your soul and make you complain. They did what was asked of them and won every game in 2017. It’s sad that grown men in 2020 still whine about their success.

I feel like you are reading a completely different thread or something, it's not like anyone has been losing sleep over UCF football

Actually you need to read him complaining about UCF from 3 years ago and he could not move on. So yes they took his soul and camped in his mind. Nobody had mentioned UCF on this site all year.

So it is okay for FCS, D2, D3 teams to maybe have multiple losses and win a NC but not FBS team? What a messed up outlook you have. You do know there are more teams in 2 and 3 than FBS and FCS combined? So again maybe you need to readjust your thinking. It is a money and not wanting to share more than a safety or academic reason.

I mean I guess it is cool to celebrate mythical championships, unlike every other sport in the world and country.


Again, why is it okay for every football amateur except FBS play in a large playoff? The risking of millions dollars is a dumb excuse. They do not have to play if they do not want to.

For your example of blowouts, then why do we allow teams in the basketball hockey, baseball tourney. I mean people gear up to watch those games as well. UMBC and others have shown us teams that have no business winning can do it. It happens in football also....NDSU, Appy St, and many others have done it.

I know
