ESPN: If it wins out, UCF's playoff chances are better than ever
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...atform=amp

ESPN hype machine is rolling for the UCF vs Stanford matchup

ESPN’s predictor gives UCF a 6% chance to make the playoffs... but it’s the best odds we have received... so you’re saying there’s a chance!

The requirements should be obvious but I’ll list them
1. Go Undefeated and win the AAC championship
2. Defeat teams with style points, we need to blow out every opponent
3. Chaos in the A5. Multiple loss champions in A5 leagues

Even with all that, it’s still about a 30% shot to get selected

Wow the ESPN hype machine really knows how to encourage the non-A5 programs....

This article really gives us hope.....

Or... it’s complete BS

It’s 100% BS they are never inviting anyone else to the cartel party.

This article is a complete joke.

We could blow out everyone on the schedule and it doesn’t matter. If we embarrass Stanford and Pitt and let’s even say a miracle happens and they win the PAC and ACC titles respectively. We would still be sitting on the outside watching 2 SEC teams fight for the CFP title. Playoff?! UCF has no shot at the playoffs in the current system.

At best we get the NY6 bowl against the 5th best A5 program.

No.

And it's not your fault.

But still, no.

And Georgia waiting in the wings of any of those 4 should stumble.

But OSU has a history of blowing a game (and so does Clemson, to an extent) and Saban has shown he is beatable.

So there will be an opening....

Too much needs to happen to get one of our teams in on the 4-team format.

We are, however, setting ourselves up nicely to earn a spot in an 8-team playoff in a few years.

Wowzas. Thinking that UCF has a shot at the playoff is more delusional than thinking UCONN has a shot at making it in the FBS.

I'd love to see everyone ranked in the to 15 finish with 3 losses and the AAC Champion go undefeated.

Like to hear the "Bull $hit" that ESPiN and the Playoff Comity come up with to keep that team (Most Likely UCF) out of the playoffs.

I would LOVE to see this. UCF just dry-cramming right up the NCAA’s, ESPN’s, and the P5’s chocolate whizwang sideways and then breaking it off!

Who is going to improve our (UCF) strength of schedule? I mean, Stanford sadly isn't ranked (though could still get better), Cincy and Houston going to be a long climb to get ranked (not likely before we play either). Memphis in the CCG is the first potential to play a ranked team this yr. Sadly our schedule is starting to look more and more like 2017 and 2018, despite the fact it should've been better than either yr.

Urban Meyer... had a history of blowing a game.

This O$U bunch is a machine. And believe me, it gives me no pleasure in saying that.

JT Barrett was a runner. Haskins was a passer.

Fields is both.

They won't lose this year.

In CFB, it always took yrs to move up in stature
3 things keep UCF out of playoffs last yr

McKenzie getting hurt
MD dropping 2PT conversion vs OSU
Okla winning useless CCG

This yr, need Pac, B-12, ND with 2 loses
UCF certainly layed the ground work
UCF & Boise undefeated might make it
Temple goes undefeated, I don't know
