UCF's campus isn't in Kissimee. It has an Orlando address, but the next closest city is Oviedo.
You should try not to take yourself so seriously...
So we can just call UC, University of Dayton right? I mean, they're practically the same location
Whatever.

You do know the reason for that right?
Its because in the past, media organizations (newspaper, tv networks, etc...), would get the ABBREVIATION of the school wrong (even when he it was noted on the helmet, on the field, court, uniforms, press guides, ec...), as these were the type of abbreviations idiots used in their reports/articles because in sports, most don't use the LONG official name of each schools.
Central FLA
CFLA
C. Florida
CFU
Cent. FL
Cent. FLA
C. FLA
Central FL
Cent. Florida
UCF...its simple and correct.
That's why.
Obviously, now, most in the media, and especially ESPN, now list the school as UCF (even during the UCF/USF game...on screen scoreboard read:
UCF
S. Florida)
I don't take issue with UCF wanting to be called UCF and the reasons are theirs. But stick with that in any and all scenarios. Just check out the AAC's list of conference schools...in any capacity. I find it absolutely hypocritical to push UCF in everyone's face, to the point that UCF fans themselves get bent out of shape when they hear anything other than UCF...only to have your administration push that "UCF" be listed in with the schools whose names are between the letter B and D. That is wanting to be known as Central Florida, not UCF. If you want to be known as UCF and it is a mission to get people to conform, then don't insist on having UCF listed where the Cs are. And if you don't believe The school has EVERYTHING to do with whether they had the AAC list UCF in with the Cs versus the Us, then you are discrediting your own reasoning as to why UCF pushes "UCF." I absolutely understand why UCF wants "UCF" listed in with the Cs. You get seen earlier. Just think that all of the whining about being called UCF, acting like being called Central Florida is disrespectful and then wanting to be listed with the Cs in any list is like having split personalities.
Why are we assuming that the school is pushing to be put in a certain order on some website? Does anyone have a source to back this claim or are you assuming that we actually care in what order our school is listed?
I think a SIMPLER explanation is that the school are arranged by their dominant name rather than "University". It's probably the same reason University of Houston or the University of Connecticut or the University of Cincinnati aren't in the U bracket either.
Then UCF is crying a hissy fit for being listed in the Cs. What do you think? Most everything on this board is circumstantial. Including most of what UCF fans say...but you guys don't need any proof to proclaim you are factually correct. Use your head. Either UCF said they wanted to be in the Cs or they are fighting with the conference to get listed in the Us instead of the Cs...which I think is a stretch to believe the conference would go against what the University desired in that scenario.
You may have OCD.

Does it really matter?
Florida State or FSU

Michigan State or MSU
USC or Southern Cal
USC or South Carolina
All are acceptable and probably 50 schools or more go by 2 different names/acronyms. Everyone knows who you are either way.
Yes. They are insecure about the "Central" in the name but still don't want to change the name of the school(FTU). Just abbreviate it (UCF) and pretend that it's not a direction. "Hey Southern Cal is a directional school, look at them!"
haha. the "USC is a directional school" argument/knee jerk reaction needs to stop. USC and UCF are not peer schools. There's nothing similar about the two of them at all. Its so fricking hard to get accepted to USC it would make you guys at UCF never bring up the application to acceptance ratios again. The great majority of those who apply to UCF get in, very few can get into USC and yes, I'm one of those who was rejected by USC. OU ended up taking me for Grad School a couple months later anyway so it worked out....
Calm down it's just a comparison in name only. I'm sure you're not thrilled when people call ECU, Eastern Carolina or East Carolina Teachers College, cause it's not the name and hasn't been so for years.
don't bother me at all Jared. You don't hear ECU fans ever bringing up comparisons to USC. Every thread where there's a poster pulling the directional school moniker on UCF, one of your fans brings up the name USC

Actually, even though USC was founded in 1880 while UCF was founded in 1963, UCF and USC have been listed in recent years on US NEWS Top 20 Up-and-coming National Universities.
Spring 2014:
#3 UCF
#5 USC

There will be a point (probably in about 3 weeks) when UCF might have to accept 5 home games or load up with a 1AA. Poop happens. UCF isn't going to challenge for a playoff spot or an Access Bowl next year...so your SoS doesn't mean much.

Be kind to the Syracuse troll...as he has to deal with a joke of a football program today.
Since 2005, Syracuse football in conf play is 19-53.
Last time Syracuse played in a major bowl game was following the 1998 season (of course they got thrashed in that bowl game).

I am thinking the same thing, I don't know why I bothered to read all these posts. You all sound like a bunch of whining, crying, bit**ing, old women.
This thread has deviated so far from what the OP started its pathetic. I am so sick and tired of all the Di(k measuring. Your college sucks our college sucks yada yada yada.
Let it go already not one single person here is going to change another persons opinion of their school. If you have to resort to name calling to each other and their schools and such then you already lost the argument.
