Actually no, as there are many examples of teams winning championships with more losses than other teams. A focus on losses alone is idiotic, as it ignores who you played.

There are also many many examples of teams declaring themselves national cahmpions---many of them are not even undefeated teams. lol...In one instance, a team that lost its final bowl game declared themselves national champion. UCF's claim is actually not bad. They are the only team in the nation to win every single game they played and they finsihed the season by beating the only team to best the two teams remaining the selection committee's invitational tournament bracket. The college football championship has always been an imperfect opinion based metric. UCF is perfectly within their rights to declare themselves national champs and the action is completely within the realm of historic norms for college football. Now--its up to the CFP to deal with their systemic exclusion of the G5 or to just keep on excluding G5 from any chance of the CFP (as the Big12 commissioner shockingly all but admitted yesterday). My guess is this is a Scott Cowen moment that will slowly create momentum for change.
