Loved how ABC was able to capture some of the insanity of the crazed UCF crowd during this sequence:

It was the refs who engineered the comeback. Nice chop block btw. Even even the pro-ucf announcers commented. Saved the conference millions. Demo rates everywhere rejoiced.

Start by scheduling something better than FCS, 2 and 10, and 3 and 9 Sun Belt teams. For the record, I'm not congratulating Temple on a perfect season either, with their early disappointments.
Memphis fans should accept that they had a good season but have much to be in doubt about.
I was unaware we lost to SMU.

13-0
*13-1
13-0 at the Div I-A level as Memphis lone win was over a Div I-AA UCF team in 1990 that recently had moved up from Div II.
Meanwhile, no clue how refs because a tangent off a stadium atmosphere thread.

My apologies, I wrote SMU and meant Tulane. Yes, I realize that Tulane is bowl bound, so I messed that up too but not much better of a team than SMU, if at all. It still doesn't change the fact that it was a flawed year for Memphis, and that is meant to be a jab but simply the truth. Only UCF can claim a great year in the AAC, so why not accept and hope next year works out better for your team. I'd love to see all AAC teams do better next year.

Classy comments, I was rooting like hell for you guys last year vs Iowa State in the Liberty, so beat Wake this year in the Birmingham Bowl.
