It's time to put UCF and the other Florida schools in their place

UCF has earned the right to talk some ****. In the past decade they've had three 12-win seasons ..... with three different head coaches.

Yeah I know all of the arguments related to strength of schedule but lets be real, what they've done over the past decade is nothing short of amazing.

It's pretty impressive that they just seem to be able to plug whoever into their system and they keep winning **** near all their games. It's like the mid-major version of the Patriots.

1988 is every bit as light on support as 1986. We played eventual national champion Notre Dame and lost. UCF's argument is that it never had an opportunity on the field. Some of those Canes seasons featured direct opportunity, and failure.

2000 is most laughable of all. Many Canes fans rooted against a national championship, yet now we are trying to claim it. If that is not priceless hypocrisy I don't know what qualifies.

The Canes would have split the title with Florida State, as long as the Seminoles defeated Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl as 11.5 point favorite. There was zero question that the Associated Press poll would have favored Miami. But I was in Miami that day, vacationing from Las Vegas. The local sports radio talk shows were flooded with genius Canes fans who were frothing that they were going to root for Oklahoma, simply to spite Florida State. It was hysterical stupidity. We hadn't won the title since 1991 and no guarantee of anything in the future yet braindead fans were actually bragging about their moron status, the total lack of comprehension regarding the big picture. We defeated Florida State head to head that year and would have split the title. We win every argument via that head to head result. We add a digit to our tally, further separating from Florida while maintaining the same gap from Florida State. But Miami fans in glorious clairvoyance preferred to remain stuck at 4 titles and hand the whole enchilada to Oklahoma.

I have actually seen posts in recent years with those same geniuses insisting that they did the right thing in rooting for Oklahoma.

Sure, they absolutely had the right to be proud and talk some sh-t. The problem was they lost all touch with reality and took it to the "We want Bama!"/hanging natty banners level. Once that happened, instead of people liking and respecting them, they grew to dislike them. And rightfully so. UCF beat ONE team worth a sh-t during those runs that wasn't an AAC team (Auburn) in a game Auburn didn't want to be there. ONE. Yes, impressive nevertheless, but they can fvck off with this national champion/everyone is scared to schedule us bullsh-t. They did that to themselves; otherwise, they'd be a widely-liked program.

What a stupid ******* comment. Unlike them we actually go out of conference and play teams with a pulse. More importantly, nobody that I know who is a Miami fan is calling us national champions, saying we want Bama, and claiming all other P5 teams are scared to schedule us. So what's the relevance of a Miami comparison? Total strawman fail.

I'm proud to be one of those retarded Miami fans . No way in **** was I going to root for FSU to win a national title and the very high likelihood we split . It was possible the AP ended up giving FSU the title as well. Even if we split FSU would have been the team that would have been considered the champion that year by most regardless of us beating them.
What was ***ed up about that season was Miami being robbed of the chance to play Oklahoma not who Miami fans rooted for in the OB game.

Absolutely.

Also, the AP didn't announce anything , it was assumed we would split. It was very likely but nothing was "announced ".

Ok.just wanted to be clear.

We have some on this site that will root for fsu because "they want to beat an undefeated fsu team or they want the SOS higher when we win" and some that rooted against fsu even though Miami would have won a chip if fsu won.

Whew

In our glory days I wanted to play a highly ranked FSU team since we needed them for SOS but those days are long past. As soon as Jimbo took over I have wanted FSU to lose every game , even against BYE. We need FSU to be down to get that recruiting edge back , I'm sick of FSU feasting in South Florida recruiting because of our struggles.

GTFOHWTBS, they've also gone winless twice since 2000, what they've done is admirable, but to act as though they've run through some gauntlet to do it is comical at best, granted I know you're always white-knighting them, but still.

"They've earned the right to talk some ****." (my direct quote). If that's what you call "white Knighting" then so be it. But my point stands, they've had three 12-win seasons in the past decade with 3 different head coaches. Has ANY PROGRAM IN HISTORY ever done that? Im not sure anyone ever has.

Yup. I think it has a lot to do with the immense amount of B-level talent in Florida. They can arbitrage between playing a mid major schedule with access to higher quality talent in the 2 & 3 star ranks in Florida.

Hilarious response IMO.

You agree with me in saying that UCF has earned the right to talk some ****. Then get ****ed at the **** they talked. lol.


Why do you think its called "**** talk?" :)

Nah, we're talking about two different things. Yes, they unquestionably should have been proud about what they had achieved over the last couple of years. And all of their fans should have been super excited! Back then, I was excited for them too and was rooting them on to continue winning.

Then they crossed a threshold where it became we are THE best team in the country, we want bama!, we don't play anyone because everyone is "scared" to schedule us, hanging natty banners, having championship parades, fans talking about how they'd blast any P5 team in front of them, etc. Their fans lost their minds and became absolutely insufferable. THAT is where it became absurd and people like myself began not liking them.

Isn't that exactly what I said above?

Like others, I am not in love with UCF anointing themselves as National Champions. But, as SFbayCane pointed out, what they have accomplished over the past number of years is nothing short of astounding.

I too considered UCF to be a flash in the pan but after closely watching them during the last 3 seasons it became abundantly clear to me that they are anything but a flash in the pan. Further, it appears they might be qualified to step-up to a conference that will, in fact, put them in the National Championship conversation.

Any Florida football program that underestimates UCF does so at their own peril. By the way, didn't they do quite well capturing players out of the portal? I know they took down the Notre Dame QB.

Astounding? They’re located next door to the largest talent pool in the nation, and have taken advantage of it beating up on lower tier teams.
