The "Power" 5 bias here is so bad words cannot describe it. The AAC finished with THREE Top 25 teams last year. They have our HIGEST ranked team (UCF) at 43.

They have "powerhouse" Kansas ranked 16 spots higher than Navy?!?!?

Very strange. FWIW they ranked UCF #1 in their final results last year, ahead of Alabama.
To get the full picture click on the team by team predictions, sorted by all NINE FBS conconferences! What no AAC???

UCF clearly getting punished for their National Champ claim and having a new HC.

How can any respectable journalist not have at least one AAC team in the top 25?

What a joke.

This guy is an idiot. There is no logic other making sure...again..that the non P5 conferences start low in the ratings so they can't make up the distance to the playoffs.

They have us behind Kansas, Oregon State and Illinois lol

We really should not give them any clicks with that b.s. ranking.

I agree with them that UCF will not be as good this year but you guys deserve an opportunity to start the year in the Top25 and then show your quality, much like the benefit of the doubt given to the 'P5' schools. %#@$%@#$%

What I just noticed is that CFN didn't have USF in their final Top25 last year, as they put us at #32 to finish the season.....really???

USF lost two close games and with a few plays here and there we could have easily been undefeated.

The comments on UH are fair but that number is waaaay too low.

Then again....they are not completely full of crap as I think they are dead on about the last sentence about predicted win totals:

They’ll lose to the Cougars again, and they’ll drop one of the two dates against Cincinnati and Temple on the road. However, they’ll get by UCF in Tampa to take the East and get to the American Athletic Championship.

Which 2017 ranking did this editor use? It shows UCF's 2017 final ranking as #1 and Bama as #2 lol. I didn't know a team's expectations could possibly fall from finishing #1 to #43 under any context. These guys gotta be trolling us, right??

The bottom half of every G5 conference is terrible. The AAC included. Your top programs, (like everyone else's), are looked upon poorly because of the weakness of those weak programs in your conference. Before someone says that the bottom half of the P5 conferences are also terrible, let me say this, those bottom tier P5 programs are not nearly as bad as the bottom tier G5 programs. At least the national perception is that they are not.

Most important thing for UCF is that USF has a good to great season where that Black Friday game has a lot on the line. If that's the case.......it's a sure win for UCF

When USF can prove that they can handle a late season game with a lot on the line, I'll be scared

Usf will lose 2 conference games and make the cc? Not likely.
