Disagree with this. Teams want to schedule challenging OOC games that strengthen their CFP resume. If a team can add an opponent that they think will be ranked at the end of the year why wouldn't they try to have them on their schedule?

Because national perception is still that a win over a G5 school, even a very good one isn't really that big of a deal.

National media and fans still don't give much credence to smaller conference schools so victories against them won't hold much water.

OK so Houston and Boise scheduled games against average/mediocre P5 teams. So did UCF. They scheduled Pitt and UNC this year. They scheduled Maryland and Georgia Tech last year. The UNC and GT games both got cancelled due to hurricanes but do you think adding a win over either of those mediocre P5 teams would be enough of a resume bump? Of course not because those teams aren't good. Like Arizona, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

Those three teams, when scheduled, were more formidable than anything UCF has scheduled.

Any thoughts on that Missouri-UCF comparison?
 
I'm just not sure I get the point of singling out the Domers. Sagarin has UCF as the 106th rated SOS. That, and nothing else, is why they aren't a serious threat.
 
They sure are generating an alternative reality and media buzz by the constant complaining and self promotion. Good for them. I would like to see them get a shot.

The Indiana team was fortunate to catch Michigan at the beginning of the year and then dance through a weak ACC schedule, adding Vandy, Stanford, Northwestern and Navy ... that’s not a tough schedule. Michigan would steamroll them now.

ND won that game with their backup QB (who had been in ***** mode every since we slapped them around last November) and without their best offensive player (Dexter Williams).
 
He has a point.

Let them settle it on the field.

Expand CFP to 8 teams at least, possibly 16.

The transitive property in sports is used by teams who know one acknowledges.

Quite similar to Richts transitive logic of his play calling working over 30 years.

… and Michigan’s QB knew his teammates for about 30 days before that game (and Miami is still trying to season kids who either EEd or have been in Coral Gables for a year).

Passing wasn't Michigan's problem Week 1. Patterson three for 230 that night. He's only surpassed that number three times this season, against 5-5 SMU, 5-5 Maryland, and 1-9 Rutgers.

Nah, I don't want 9-4 Pitt or 8-5 Northwestern in the playoffs just because they pulled off one upset.

That won't happen and if it does it will ONLY be because everyone else is just that bad. The reality is if you go undefeated none of it matters. Competing for 8th spot says you're not a legit team anyway.

That's not true. A ranked team is a ranked team in the eyes of the CFP committee. Beating a #15-20 ranked G5 team is better than beating an unranked, middle of the road P5 team for sure.

Wait, what? You're saying that an upset in a conference championship is impossible?
