UCF will have a chance next year. They have UNC, Lane Kiffin, and Pitt in the non-conf.
UNC was terrible this year. Lane Kiffin and FL Atlantic International aren't getting anyone excited, and Pitt won't sniff the top 25. That doesn't sound like a schedule that gets you close to the playoff.
And it's true but unfortunate because so many of these schedules are done years out. I'm sure the idea was that the UNC would be a really good team and Pitt would be a fringe top 25 type.
Like Memphis with UCLA.

That was a tough one all around. People would see them beating 2 power 5 teams and give them the benefit of the doubt in that regard, though. Lane is getting everyone excited. That guys a rolling comedy show and I think they're bringing a lot back. That RB is a monster.

Claim the natty.
But just stop with the, "well if things break right an AAC team can make the playoffs".
