1) No UCF fan believes UCF should have been top 4 pre-bowl, but #12 was a direct insult

2) UCF President Dr. Hitt agreed to the "National Championship" as a direct result of the CFP's post-Peach Bowl comments "re-justifying" UCF's #12 ranking

Most UCF fans thought #6-9 pre-Peach. Even BCS had UCF #7 -- #3 for computer, #10 in AP. Putting UCF #18, then #14, and even considering a 4 loss team head of UCF at #12, before they finally put UCF #12, was exactly what Scott Frost meant by, "They didn't want to rank UCF too high, in case more losses came."

Although UCF AD Danny White jokingly mouthed the "National Championship" claim on TV, it was UCF's President Dr. Hitt that caused this to really go forward. Dr. Hitt, after hearing the CFP head honcho directly say UCF deserved its #12 ranking, and should basically be thankful they got the Peach Bowl, further insinuating UCF wouldn't even make a 8 team playoff, was beyond pissed off.

Dr. Hitt is a soft-spoken and very witty man. He does do things lightly. You really have to piss him off before he'll go off on you to make a point. And now he is ...

Everyone at UCF is ... and UCF is big, really, really freak'n big, and only growing in the nation's 3rd most populous state. UCF may be 100,000+ students projected by 2030, with thousands of acres set aside that wraps from the east side and down towards Lake Nona and the airport.

"The University of Central Florida, or UCF, is an American public state university in Orlando, Florida. It is the largest university in the United States by undergraduate enrollment,[8] as well as the largest by enrollment at a single campus.[3]"

Yup. The CFP played this completely wrong. Should have just admitted they blew it and "promised" to reassess the way they judge G5's (in other words, do nothing different going forward). Instead--they brainlessly insisted they were right---when everyone in the audience knows they were not. Now they have just exposed themselves to be the arrogant buffoons they are really are and they are rightfully getting called out for it. I guess they just couldnt hide their true nature.

It's amazing that UCF fans think that because UCF beat a 3-loss Auburn team that this means the committee really did blow it and they deserved a spot in the top 4, the playoffs.

Then, many of these same UCF fans make another Snake River Canyon leap and say that because UCF deserved to be in the playoffs but wasn't invited this means that beating this same 3-loss Auburn team, a team absolutely nobody thought belonged in the playoffs, means that they not only deserved to be in the playoffs but are in fact National Champions, even though they did not win the two playoff games against top-4 teams that would be needed to claim that!

It's the most bizarro sequence of logic ever posted to this board.

I mean, imagine if in the NFC divisional playoffs, the Rams are playing the Eagles, and on the last play of the game a critical call goes against the Rams and as a result the Eagles win the game. The NFL then issues a statement saying yes, the call was wrong and the Rams should have won the game, but the game results are final and so the Eagles still advance to the NFC title game not the Rams.

Would it be reasonable for Rams fans to say "we should have been in the NFC title game but were robbed of it, therefore we are declaring ourselves Super Bowl Champions!" even though they didn't actually play and win either the NFC title game or Super Bowl?

It would beggar belief. But that's what we have going on here from some people.

That is the dumbest post I have ever read, not surprised you were the one that wrote it

Actually, it renders silly the arguments of the UCF fans around here claiming a "national championship", but because you are too dumb or biased to recognize that, and either way have no substantive answer for it, you decided to post this nonsense instead.
