But your laugh's do not hurt the program at all.
LIke the UCF fan pointed out they have received ticket sales donations great memories for fans.
Also, many people support this. Why does it matter if some MTSU fan cares you were never going to support the program in any way shape or form anyways?

As much as you think they are silly I think having a made for TV exhibition mini tournament decided by a group of biased people selecting a team based off history and logo's is a joke.

FAU will be a strong opponent next year for us. Looking forward to that one. 04-cheers

It's not some Middle Tennessee fan, it's the majority of fans nation wide.

OK, but none of it hurts the program as long as they get people talking and their own fans excited. What you or anyone else think doesn't matter.
I would find it hard to laugh at the program that has had two seasons in the last 5 years your program can only dream about.

I don't blame them for doing it. At least one of the computers has them #1. They have as much claim to it in a totally rigged system as much as Colorado and Georgia Tech did in 1990, because the system that is currently in place still does not afford all teams the opportunity to make that joke of what they call a playoff. If any of us were in UCF's shoes we would all do the same thing.

This is false equivalence, there was no solely definitive poll in 1990. The CFP is the only poll that matters.

And just like Sagarin ranking 10-0 Harvard something like 33rd, any poll ranking UCF #1 doesn't validate UCF, it invalidates the poll.

Then pretty much every poll can be invalidated then. If you go back and look at the number of times a ranking has had someone different than the "official" champ and I use that term loosely then just about every ranking can be proven to have failed to crown the "correct" champion at some point or another. If you believe this four-team charade is proof of the true national champion then you are a bigger moron than I give you credit for, because whether the BCS, CFP or some other entity there has always been more subjectivity in the selection of teams than objectivity. Or in the very least the pool from which those entitities are willing to pull from restrict the amount of teams that could ever have access to them.

You’re just a severely butthurt person man. National publications have supported UCFs claim and yet you keep making these totally insane generalizations that fit what YOU want to hear.

I don’t get it. Are you insecure about MT’s role in college football and thus must attempt to tear down UCF to make things better? You sound like another whiny Alabama fan who can’t believe that UCF would DARE challenge their claim for #1.

We’ve received 5 first place AP votes and were ranked #1 in an NCAA sanctioned computer poll that used to decide champions in the BCS era. But if you want to continue pretending like that doesn’t exist, be my guest. It’s clear that you’re really threatened by UCFs success and the AAC’s at large.

Because ESPN says it does? It's not an official NCAA Poll and it's not an official NC.

Yea, some fans on here just hate on the new up and coming (I say UCF is up and coming just based on age) schools who have not been playing football for over 100 years. They have some complex that you have to pay your dues and do things by the book. But really they just hate anyone who tries out of the box things to raise the level of the program. They want to go 8-4 every year and just complain that the conference doesn't do anything to elevate them.
They hate when the metro schools have success and do big things that get attention because deep down they know they are not capable of that.

I deplore the term "butthurt" sounds like something that someone in middle school would say and I don't consider UCF the national champions but I do think it is ludicrous that an undefeated team at the FBS level has zero shot at playing for it. Until they make the playoffs, at least, an 8 team event there is not a legitimate champ.
The setup needs to be the 5 so called power leagues champions, you can eliminate the conference championship games, and take the regular season winners. Add the "best" G5 team and add 2 at large teams from the rest. This is not a perfect setup but much better than the current setup.

Even if there was an 8 team playoff this year UCF wouldn't have been a part of it...

Yeah, your right. It is just a few run-down schools that have been playing football for 100 years that think this is a joke.

Would I have liked to have seen UCF in the playoff and actually win this year's NC, absolutely. It would have been good for all G5ers.

We all play by the same rules, even if unfair. Everyone understands the process for winning a NC, it ain't beating a 10-3 team in the peach bowl. Even if that team beat the #1 & #2 teams. Putting up banners, holding parades and claiming a national title that wasn't won just seems odd/juvenile. If UCF had finished #1 in AP poll, then yes. I would rather see UCF publicly try to discredit Alabama's NC by saying the country didn't get to see the best team play in the playoff that would have waxed the competition.

Seems to me that's exactly what they are doing. How else are they to discredit the CFP champion than to make poignant argument that there is another and that there is a split title?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Your last sentence totally discredits your entire narrative to that point.

What do you think UCF is trying to do??????? By staking a claim, by running a social media blitzkrieg, by throwing a parade, by hosting a downtown party that THOUSANDS attended, by going on national TV shows, by getting into every major national media, UCF is TRYING TO DISCREDIT THE SYSTEM.

And it worked! We received 5 1st place votes in the AP poll and we've received a large amount of support from national media, pundits, Hall of Fame coaches, the FL Governor, and now even Sir Nick Faldo is getting involved.

Do you really think ANY of this happens if UCF simply takes our Peach trophy, says "thanks!", and goes home? No. And that would have been a massive mistake. Our AD gets it.

Why anyone from CUSA would object to this campaign is beyond me.

Putting up banners, holding parades and claiming a national title that wasn't won just seems odd/juvenile. If UCF had finished #1 in AP poll, then yes. I would rather see UCF publicly try to discredit Alabama's NC by saying the country didn't get to see the best team play in the playoff that would have waxed the competition.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Your last sentence totally discredits your entire narrative to that point.

What do you think UCF is trying to do??????? By staking a claim, by running a social media blitzkrieg, by throwing a parade, by hosting a downtown party that THOUSANDS attended, by going on national TV shows, by getting into every major national media, UCF is TRYING TO DISCREDIT THE SYSTEM.

And it worked! We received 5 1st place votes in the AP poll and we've received a large amount of support from national media, pundits, Hall of Fame coaches, the FL Governor, and now even Sir Nick Faldo is getting involved.

Do you really think ANY of this happens if UCF simply takes our Peach trophy, says "thanks!", and goes home? No. And that would have been a massive mistake. Our AD gets it.

Why anyone from CUSA would object to this campaign is beyond me.

For me, there is a difference between 'I'm going to throw myself a party and tell everyone I'm #1' than telling the actual NC that they would have lost if they had played me in the NC game. But, I do see your point.

You’re just a severely butthurt person man. National publications have supported UCFs claim and yet you keep making these totally insane generalizations that fit what YOU want to hear.

I don’t get it. Are you insecure about MT’s role in college football and thus must attempt to tear down UCF to make things better? You sound like another whiny Alabama fan who can’t believe that UCF would DARE challenge their claim for #1.

We’ve received 5 first place AP votes and were ranked #1 in an NCAA sanctioned computer poll that used to decide champions in the BCS era. But if you want to continue pretending like that doesn’t exist, be my guest. It’s clear that you’re really threatened by UCFs success and the AAC’s at large.

I'm trying to "fit what I want to hear" and you're talking about 1st place votes, unnamed "national publications"(NYT?), and BCS era polls? Yeah, okay...

I don't care that you're challenging Alabama's national title, I mean besides the fact that it's a completely illegitimate challenge, it makes no difference to me, doesn't mean it's not hilarious.

Let me know when your trophy arrives...

It’s interesting that you aren’t whiny or enraged over Bama or Oklahoma State claiming Nationals titles in EXACTLY the same fashion UCF is, for EXACTLY the same reasons

Look down- your agenda is showing!

The entire idea behind the BCS and subsequently the CFP was eliminating this nonsense.

Since then, there has been exactly one legitimately split title and that was 2003.

If Oklahoma State or Alabama are claiming these Colley Matrix titles as you're suggesting they are, I've seen zero proof of it. Did either of them throw parades? Hang banners? Pay bonuses to their coaches as if they'd won a legitimate title?

It's also interesting that you think I'm enraged, nothing could be further from the truth.

I deplore the term "butthurt" sounds like something that someone in middle school would say and I don't consider UCF the national champions but I do think it is ludicrous that an undefeated team at the FBS level has zero shot at playing for it. Until they make the playoffs, at least, an 8 team event there is not a legitimate champ.
The setup needs to be the 5 so called power leagues champions, you can eliminate the conference championship games, and take the regular season winners. Add the "best" G5 team and add 2 at large teams from the rest. This is not a perfect setup but much better than the current setup.

Even if there was an 8 team playoff this year UCF wouldn't have been a part of it...
By the terms he described they would have been though.

Yes, thank you. Kind of like the basketball tourney. 6 auto bids and 2 at-large which could potentially be another G5 program.
