Why will the cowards Alabama not play UCF

Going undefeated is real loving hard.

i agree, thats kinda my point. I don't think UCF is bad, but they aren't going undefeated in a P5.

quote:

You don't have to beat multiple top teams to be successful in a P5 conference, at least not this year where there aren't really any great teams. Bama's best win prior to Monday was, what, LSU?
Its not that Alabama or Clemson or whoever is playing a top 5 team every week, its that outside of a couple scheduled cupcakes, they play decent teams most week. You start playing a #15 here and a #20 there and a 7-5 and 6-6 type team inbetween and it gets really tough to run off undefeated seasons, thats why P5 teams rarely do it. Of course Alabama is favored to win each individual game on their schedule, but winning ALL of them is pretty hard. I think theres a big difference between having to deal with an AAC schedule and having to deal with a P5 schedule. I don't think UCF is bad, but i think they probably end up with 2-4 losses in most P5 schedules and probably end up ranked in the teens or so.

I love the attitude that UCF would have zero chance against UGA or Bama when they handled Auburn who beat both of the aforementioned teams.

I’m not saying they’d definitely beat them, but pull your head out of your rear end. I’ve never met a group of fans that huff their own farts more than Georgia fans.

(This isn’t directed at anyone specific on this board except for a couple people who probably know who they are, but mostly my irl UGA fans)

Zero chance is a bit much, doing two top 10 teams back-to-back is asking a lot of anyone much less a G5.

True, but it's never good when you have to rely on a backup QB that makes Manute Bol look chubby.

It's not like Francios was Lamar Jackson or something either. Losing your starter is obviously bad but I don't see how they were going to come even close to their preseason ranking even with him healthy. Their offensive line was trash and they didn't have transcendent skill position talent like Dalvin Cook around to make up for it anymore

No, you're dark-side intergalactic encyclopedia salesmen. Unfortunately, the home office hasn't been quite upfront with you.
I don’t buy this narrative that Clemson was overrated and maybe shouldn’t have been in.

They had a sick defensive line, the most wins over bowl eligible teams, strong game control and beat the Auburn team that is the foundation for UCF’s the transitive property national championship.

I hope meanwhile, at the SEC Legion of Doom, they're taking into account of how Auburn halfassing the Peach Bowl has cast shadows on the all-SEC natty, and will finally for the first time in recorded human history instruct their officials to call holding occasionally on the Tigers next season. I say make up for lost time and immediately start all Auburn drives half the distance from their own one-foot line until further notice.

Georgia beat Auburn by 21 at a neutral site (with two TDs off the board because of poo poo officiating), UCF beat them by 7. UGA beating UCF by 14 sounds about right to me. This isn't me sniffing my own farts; UGA was pretty great this season. Don't fall into the turn-of-the-century Gonzaga trap where the Zags couldn't just be an awesome mid-major capable of hanging with the big boys, they had to be BETTER THAN ERRRRRRRRYBODY because CINDERELLA RULEZ BABY

I mean yeah but if you want to use pure point differential you got to use both games.

I am not saying UCF is like obviously better but that they have a strong case to and their win lose is comparable to any of the teams in the playoffs. This is not a Hawaii thing no matter how they pretend.

UCF plays in exactly the conference you find a 15 or 20 here and there because that happens to be the top of the mountain for a G5 squad. Maybe the AAC isn't the shitshow everyone assumes it is?

Carlton Davis, Jeff Holland and Kamryn Pettway all leaving early. Davis could go in the first round and will be missed. Holland was a monster but we might have achieved that "never rebuilding, just reloading" elite level of DL talent and development. Various conflicting rumors about Pettway but they ranged from he decided his season was done a few weeks ago to he had been quietly kicked off the team but was being allowed the opportunity to transfer without stigma. Shame for the SEC's 2016 leading rusher.

its better than the other G5 conferences at the moment but it isn't even close to a P5 conference in depth. I don't think USF or Memphis were very good either but even if they were, its a loving cliff after them
