Quote:There is a pretty important game between two intense rivals happening in Florida this weekend, one with serious conference and College Football Playoff implications.
That's right: USF vs. UCF (3:30 p.m. ET Friday on ABC) has taken the spotlight from the more nationally known teams farther north, becoming the hottest ticket in the state. While the Florida State-Florida matchup features two losing teams for just the second time in series history, UCF (10-0) and USF (9-1) will take center stage in front of a sold-out crowd Friday afternoon in Orlando.
The ramifications are straightforward: The winner clinches a spot in the American Athletic Conference championship game against Memphis the following week. The winner of the conference championship game in all likelihood will secure the Group of 5 spot in a New Year's Six bowl game.
