I looked it up, the 1987 syracuse team looked good but didnt beat a single team that ended the season ranked. Hardly comparable to the 2017 UCF team that beat 4 ranked teams. Nice try though lol.
Yet they killed the defending national champs and finished higher in the polls than UCF.
Shows the bias we are facing and why we needed to make a big deal about it and did.
Btw, what does a defending champ in college football matter when all their players graduate? lol lots of teams beat Penn state in 1987.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but syracuse in 1987 doesn't have the same claim as UCF did this year. Syracuse just beat up on a bunch of unranked teams that all had a ton of losses. UCF beat 4 ranked teams. Really there is no comparison.
4 teams?
USF
Memphis x 2 (btw UCF is the only team to beat memphis this year)
Auburn
Syracuse didn't beat a single ranked team, didn't even beat a 10 win team. Beat mostly teams with .500 or worse records.
We didn't have a chance to beat Auburn as the game ended in a tie. A tie that UCF avoided against Memphis. Ten wins? The schedule was 11 games back then without conference championships so not a real comparison.

Fine just compare ranked wins. UCF - 4, Syracuse - 0. Nuff said. Syracuse was a solid team but isn't in the same conversation as UCF in terms of deserving of a title shot. Hence why 2017 UCF has a natty and 1987 Syracuse doesn't.

RE: Someone broke into Alabama and stole...
Lets see here:
Ucf - getting national championship rings.
Alabama's CFP trophy is NOT trademarked by the NCAA. The NCAA does NOT sanction an official championship in football, ergo every title in FBS is mythical - just like the ones Alabama claimed in 1941 and 1961.
Fact - UCF's title claim is more legitimate than at least two of the ones Alabama has claimed.
Fact - UCF was awarded the national title by the TD Club of Columbus, Reddit, and the Colley Matrix.
Fact - Unlike Alabama, UCF finished undefeated and won its conference.
Fact - the CFP is an invitational that is owned by the Disney Corp and is in no way sanctioned by the NCAA.

“UCF is a darn good team, they’re the only undefeated team in the country and they beat the team [Auburn] that beat the teams [Georgia and Alabama] who played in the national championship game. Why shouldn’t they be national champions?”
-Steve Spurrier (who knows that UCF is the REAL 2017 National Champions while all Alabama did was win the ESPN Invitational presented by Dr. Pepper)

Not sure what that means...
But thanks anyways...just having fun
I do agree with the poster above we need an 8 team playoff with the AAC as a qualifier that it finishes in the Top 16 after conference championships...all 6 conferences need to meet that.

Nobody takes him seriously period. That's why I have him on ignore. I still think it's funny though that he responds to everything I post even though I don't ever see it, thus wasting his time.
He is still upset about the time I refused to kiss his ring over seniority here and chose to defend a fellow conference mate in TU4Ever.
