No offense but I'm tired of hearing this as an excuse to either exclude us from this current sham CFP or not expand at all.
Let's recap: FAU was supposed to be this super up and coming Top 25 team that several people actually voted pre season Top 25. They crapped the bed.
Pitt actually played for the frigging ACC title game and UCF absolutely destroyed them. It was 45-7 with a minute left before a garbage TD. That game could have been 65-7.
UNC, a "POWER 5!!!!!!!!" team, was utterly garbage and cancelled anyways. STILL, the idiots on ESPN act like this was a huge problem for UCF since - "POWER 5!!!!!!".
It should be mentioned that when UCF scheduled UNC, they were a Top 25 team and looked extremely promising under Fedora. Shocking to find out that UCF does not have a crystal ball into the future.
As for AAC play, it was a bit down this year but we still beat a great 10-2 ranked Cincy team. Took 2 of the best shots Memphis could possibly give and won (4 times in 2 years is HARD). Whipped USF. Beat a Temple team that really came on strong and whipped Maryland. Beat the crap out of a decent SMU team.
That's the issue. We played and beat a very good Cincy team yet these ESPN idiots act like it's irrelevant. They would have given more credit to UCF if we had cancelled our game and instead beaten Vandy or someone. It's ridiculous.
