Tell that to all the Bama fans who get so defensive when it is pointed out UCF won the national title per at least one legit (former BCS) poll.

Laughing at UCF isn't being 'defensive'.

Colley-Matrix isn't a poll, it's a computer, and it means nothing to be chosen #1 by a computer.

Heck, Alabama was chosen #1 in a bunch of computers last year after they lost the title game to Clemson. For UCF to claim a title on the basis of CM is beyond absurd.

They are claiming it as a statement on the fact that they had no shot to prove it on the field even though they deserved a shot to prove it on the field. It is a statement on the absurdity of having a sports league where half of its conference champions are eliminated from contention before the season begins. It was a good statement and it was successful in drawing widespread attention to the point.

Seriously, has it actually proven any point? Is there a groundswell of yelling right now from the public demanding an 8 or 16 team playoff?

Nope.

No. But because UCF made a stink and claims a national title, it will be more memorable come 2024 or so when the CFP contracts are up for renewal than UCF's win over Baylor, or any of Boise State's BCS wins (Oklahoma game excepted).

There is no groundswell demanding 8 teams because nobody's talking about the structure of the CFP right now. In a few years, when the end of the contract is in sight, there probably will be a clamor for 8.
