Quote:ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The NCAA officially lists the University of Central Florida as co-national champions on page 115 of its 2018 record book.

That publication might require an addendum.

Dr. Wes Colley, designer of the Colley Matrix rankings employed by the now-defunct Bowl Championship Series (BCS), announced Saturday the dissolution of Colley Matrix.

Dr. Colley, a Princeton alumnus, noted an ultimatum received from the NCAA: rewrite the formula or face the pinkslip.

“They want something more modern,” says Dr. Colley.

“They said my methodologies relied too heavily on wins and losses and didn’t isolate strength of schedule enough.”

The NCAA has allowed Dr. Colley the opportunity to recognize his rankings under a rebranding with one caveat: rewrite the formula with increased emphasis on efficiency.

“I feel indebted to the NCAA to continue this partnership,” a relieved Dr. Colley exhales.

The ramifications extend beyond ink on paper or the man behind a computer.

The NCAA has extended written notice to the University of Central Florida to cease all National Champions branding and remove 2017 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS decor coating Spectrum Stadium.

UCF Director of Athletics Danny White could not be reached for comment.

University of Florida AD Scott Stricklin could.

“Our initial position was to offer UCF a 2-for-1 to depict the national titles of each proud program in the 21st Century,” said Stricklin.

“That offer is now a 2-for-0.”
