if UCF had not joined the American Conference?

My guess is in the 3rd-4th round.

As I see it, UCF:
- would not have beaten Louisville
- would not have played in the Fiesta Bowl
- would not have beaten Baylor
- would not have ended the season ranked #10 in the AP
- Blake Bortles would not have been the #3 player drafted

Joining the American has definitely helped UCF and I believe it will help every team. We're getting better, we're getting stronger and we'll get the recognition and respect we deserve.

I agree. Unfortunately, there is no autobid to a bowl like the Fiesta anymore... so we REALLY need to win that Gof5 spot.
