Sort of like declaring yourselves national champions?
Wouldn’t it suck for you if a computer model that the NCAA recognizes to crown champions just stated UCF at #1?
Can you point me to any ranked CUSA teams?
Nice pivot.
Never have I ever said that CUSA was a power conference.
Never have I ever said that CUSA was better than the AAC.
As a matter of fact, I happen to agree with you that Sagarin is complete and total ****. They once ranked Harvard like 33rd in their final poll.

Your program threw a parade, paid "national championship" bonuses to an outgoing staff, and hung a banner, over an article in the New York ******* Times.
You haven't a leg to stand on.

Actually we threw a parade and claim a championship because we are the only undefeated team left, defeated 4 Top 25 teams, defeated the only team to beat both CFP Finalists, and a legitimate poll matrix, recognized by the NCAA, determined that UCF is #1 in the country.
Those are the facts. I know this upsets you and causes all sorts of insecurities for some reason, but there it is.
If you’re ever in Orlando feel free to check out the National Champ banner.

No, we defer to worthless invitational games where a team can enter without even playing for a conference championship
The Colley Matrix matched the CFP final every year but this year. Hmmmm wonder why?
UCF is #1 in a recognized computer matrix. Deal.

NCAA recognizes UCF as a National Champion (even if just of some "computer matrix")? Refresh my memory, when did that happen?

I'm not triggered at all. I'm laughing at a stupid publicity stunt and a claim that is recognized by nobody except UCF people. The governor wants votes. He has no power to declare a champion
This is beyond dumb and is flat out embarrassing

It's so embarrassing that this is now the 10th day straight of UCF talk amongst the national media. The Governor went out of his way to do that. Legends like Bobby Bowden are supporting UCF's claim. National publications are writing in support of UCF's title claims.
And today a business analyst came out saying that these mere 10 days of national talk have yielded $18M in value to UCF.
Meanwhile, we've sold 4,000 new season tickets in 2 weeks and just had thousands of fans pack downtown Orlando for a massive championship party.
Yea, totally embarrassing!

I heard about it for 2 days. I think you are inflating the coverage you got from your homer viewpoint It was a side story on espn for a day. And a lot of the media and fans laugh at the absurdity of it all
You aren't national champions. It's not recognized by any legit source No matter what anyone in Florida says , the fact is it isn't legitimate

I am all for everything UCF has done. They are making a mockery of the system the traditional powers do not want anyone else in the club and UCF is forcing it down their throat. The fans who cry the most about it are from the schools who know they would be nothing without the power conference they are in. Miss State, UVA Texas Tech just to name a few.

UCF is putting their program in the spotlight, creating real conversation on how unjust the system is. It's fun for their fans and creates memories and something they can all stand behind with each other which goes a long way in creating lifelong fans.
The idea they should not have done this because some MTSU fans might laugh is insane. Other P5 schools can laugh all while knowing deep down they would sell their soul for a season like UCF's
It's hard for the nontraditional powers to get in the spotlight and they should get everything they can from it. Sometimes programs need to take risks and do some out of the box things to get noticed like hiring Lane or naming yourself champs. You can try it or just go 7-6 every year and hope the conference just does it for you.
I know what UCF is doing is good for FAU we play them next year. There will be some serious hype around it and both programs will benefit.

Everyone from Alabama to Savannah State should laugh at UCF. Hanging a national championship banner as if they actually won something more than a conference championship and Peach Bowl is just complete and total nonsense.

I don't blame them for doing it. At least one of the computers has them #1. They have as much claim to it in a totally rigged system as much as Colorado and Georgia Tech did in 1990, because the system that is currently in place still does not afford all teams the opportunity to make that joke of what they call a playoff. If any of us were in UCF's shoes we would all do the same thing.

This is false equivalence, there was no solely definitive poll in 1990. The CFP is the only poll that matters.
And just like Sagarin ranking 10-0 Harvard something like 33rd, any poll ranking UCF #1 doesn't validate UCF, it invalidates the poll.
