Put UCF in playoff instead of a 2 loss team

Should they win out. They play exciting football, and they have just as much a case as someone that’s already been beaten handily twice.

Great minds think alike

Yep. Playoffs are completely useless if teams like that are still getting left in the cold

I don't see how UCF's resume is worse than Wisconsin's is right now. One of the main arguments for the playoff was that minor schools deserve a chance. Now with a playoff they actually have less of a chance because the committee clearly favors bigger brands.

See the 8 team playoff thread. There shouldn't be a reason to leave out a team like UCF 2017, Western Michigan 2016, Houston 2015, Boise State 2014, UCF 2013, Boise State 2008-2012.

Then let's also vacate LSU's 2007 championship since 2 loss teams aren't worthy in your mind

I bet UCF could have easily lost to Oklahoma and then got shite stomped by a meh Iowa team.
So I say put em in.

If UCF puts another spanking on Memphis and Wisky takes a L you gotta at least wonder if UCF deserves a bid

UCF is in a much better conference than the MAC. They should get serious consideration

They've also been beating the shite out of everybody.
They've only had one game decided by less than double digits

Really do think they’d give some of the blue bloods a good game. May be able to sneak out a win.

They said this same stuff before we went to 4 teams. They won't put in a G5 team with 8 teams either. You're really naive if you believe they would ever put in a team like Western Michigan unless they balloon the thing to include way too many teams.

Pretty crazy that their game today could be the best game of the week.

yep, its still just a damn popularity contest as they ignore real data of W/L

UCF should be forced to play the game they cancelled

I’m trying to think of the scenario that will get them in. I want to see them have a shot.
-They win out beating 9-1 USF (now 9-2) and a 10-1 Memphis (now 10-2 with only losses to UCF). This will be a huge boost to their schedule in the eyes of the committee.
First 2 Spots:
-Bama wins SEC and is undefeated. (11-1 Bama probably gets in over them)
-Winner of the ACC is in at #2
Final 2 Spots:
-Oklahoma loses to TCU or West Virginia and Wisconsin wins out
Or
-Ohio State loses to Michigan and then beats Wisconsin (Wisconsin probably has to lose to Minnesota as well)
Need some rivalry carnage

Forced isn't the word I would use. There was a damn hurricane over them.
But I agree, they should phone Georgia Tech.

I mean other Florida teams played in florida the day the game was scheduled for

UCF itself was closed and the national guard was using the stadium during the game.
