This poster is brilliant, I would say. And we have that stellar, scintillating win over mighty UCONN to hang our hat on!

UCF 7
USF 19
Memphis 24

I know this is crazy, but I just saw where CBS130 has us at 16.

#2 UCF
#24 South Florida
#25 Memphis

So, USF wins their bowl game and DROPS in poll, even after 4 of the closest 7 teams just ahead of them LOST (VT, Wash St, Memphis, and LSU).

I hope you're right about UCF, I just don't see the pollsters respecting UCF that much. Gonna be hard to jump the 4 playoff teams. Maybe #5 though.

I think Clemson falls out of the top 5, with how Alabama beat them. That said:

#4 UCF
#17 USF
#25 Memphis

UCF #2 with some AP voters giving them a first place vote.
#18 USF
Hopefully Memphis stays in the top 25 probably near #25.

CBS 130 also has UCF at #8, two places behind #6 Auburn!
61% of voters think Auburn is rated too low.

Wah! Wah! We're P5. We're better than you. It doesn't matter if we played like crap.

Bleacher Report has:
1. Alabama (Last week: T-4)
2. Georgia (3)
3. Oklahoma (2)
4. UCF (6)
T-5. Clemson (1)
T-5. Ohio State (T-4)
7. Wisconsin (7)
8. Penn State (10)
9. TCU (13)
T-10. Auburn (8)
T-10. Notre Dame (16)
12. Washington (12)
T-13. Michigan State (20)
T-13. USC (9)
15. Miami (11)
16. Oklahoma State (18)
17. Stanford (14)
18. Northwestern (19)
19. NC State (NR)
20. South Florida (NR)
T-21. Boise State (24)*
T-21. Florida Atlantic (22)*
23. Mississippi State (NR)
24. Troy (NR)*
25. Army (NR)*

Others receiving votes: Memphis, South Carolina, LSU

The CFP will reward UCF by moving us up to #11.

My guess would be sixth or seventh

I don't think the CFP does any more polls unitl week 10 of next year. Their purpose is to install 4 teams into a playoff. Once that task is done, they go home and roll around in their tubs full of money. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I remember.

The AP will help the so called P5 and playoff committee out by ranking UCF somewhere from 6-10.

Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State all big winners and all were ahead of UCF in the final poll. UCF will not jump Ohio State. 6th or 7th most likely

My projected Associated Press Poll TOP TEN

1. Alabama (wins the CFB Playoff)
2. Georgia
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Wisconsin
6. Clemson
7. UCF (with 4 first place votes)
8. Penn State
9. USC
10. TCU
    

5-7 with one or two #1 votes out of protest for UCF.

Ohio State put on a show and in addition has a strong case to be made for not being top 4.
