Well, gee whiz Pa. Not everyone can schedule Western Kentucky every week.
We didn't schedule them.
We aren't claiming to be National Champs.

Play Memphis, USF, Auburn, and Navy and let's see you finish off with more than 4 wins a year.
Now, with that said, you guys have a good future. You are in a big market. Have a nice stadium gifted to you. (Really nice actually. Top of the line.)
Maybe one day you guys can join the AAC and compete for a major bowl and a national title ?
Remember, you guys are starting out. UCF started in 1979 and had a long, hard road. We earned a share of this national title.

True, true and true.

No telling if the AAC gets poached at some point in the future. But if it does, Georgia State will definitely be on the short-list of potential replacements, and probably at the top of the short-list.

The masseyratings website currently shows about 116 rankings posted after the conference championship games of 02nd December. Twelve (12) of those rankings have UCF at #1 and obviously there will be more after the post-bowl ratings start to post after 08th January. UCF should absolutely publicize that as much as possible. Aresco should help and I’ve no doubt he will.

LOL, If your honest with yourself, Im thinking the day Georgia State goes undefeated, and wins a NY6 bowl over a school that beat both teams in the rigged championship game, you would probably be crowing your a champion too. Don't hate, what UCF did today was good for all on the outside looking in, including Georgia State.

The CFP will say nothing. They are hoping this dies down very quickly. We need to make sure It does not. This is quite similar to how the Tulane stuff started and it ended with major changes in the BCS. We'll just have to see where it goes.

I'm with it.
As a Memphis fan who is rightfully proud of a hell of a season, makes the two UCF losses sting a little less.
After watching this FB season, you can't tell me UCF couldn't hang in the SEC or any league.
UCF, 2017-2018 national champs. Congrats!

The Pollsters will probably screw them to start the season next year in the Pre-Season polls so they don't have a chance at the Playoffs. Probably use coaching staff changes, etc. as the excuse.
With everyone coming back, there is no excuse.

And you aren’t the only undefeated team in the country which also beat the SEC West division champions who also are the only team to beat the remaining two teams still playing in the invitational.

I have to laugh at ESPN they didn't even want to mention the Peach Bowl and UCF going undefeated during the playoff broadcast. The national championship was won outside their rigged up "playoff". Would be funny if one of the final polls would name UCF #1.

As far as I know, the CFP isn't Ncaa sponsored and not an official Ncaa championship. There is no official Ncaa selection committee. It's essentially just a side deal between Espn and the schools. A school can put up any banner it wants to.
It's nothing like the Ncaa basketball tournament where the Ncaa has control over banners and whatnot.

The NCAA is guilty of a lot of sins, but they have not part in the "College Football Playoff" which is named like "Seattle's Best Coffee". The NCAA runs tournaments for all other levels of football and sports, that always includes automatic bids for all conference champions.

AAC members and all “G-5” schools should vigorously support all actions taken by UCF to promote their legitimate NC claim.

RE: UCF AD claims Knights National Title. Hang the banner & make it official
In addition to the NCAA & ESPN, by structure, having systematically excluded everyone except their P5 club from having any chance to play for a national championship & most importantly, earn a fair share of the college football revenues from TV & bowls - BUT, the P5 also systematically exclude non-P5 schools by refusing for the most part to schedule COMPETITIVE non-P5 schools. And this is being done by conference rules in some cases & just by saying no to competitive non-P5 schools except in rare occasions. Examples for Memphis, UTK refuses to complete an existing contract with Memphis. AR refused to complete an existing contract. Miami cancelled a home & home with Memphis. And Vandy, Ole Miss, AR & UTK are locking Memphis out. Just recent examples with Memphis that are likely happening across the AAC. And all of this to keep Memphis & the AAC down related to recognition & $$$.
Absolutely - UCF, national champs!
