The UCF Knights have not won 23 in a row. They haven’t lost a game since 2016. They beat a top 10 Auburn team in their bowl game last year, an Auburn team that beat Alabama several weeks before. If they win out and don’t get in, not going to be a good look for the playoff system as is.
This is the perfect year to throw the mid majors a bone. At most, we will have Bama, Clemson and ND undefeated. I hope Michigan wins out so they will have to make a choice (and knowing the ncaa, the wrong one). But whether it’s Michigan, OU or whomever, UCF will have earned its shot to be taken over any one loss team.
But they will probably lose to South Florida and bail the ncaa out.
