UCF isn't the only school to claim fake national titles. Alabama has at least three fake titles. They claim a title in a season where they lost 3 games and finished unranked in the AP poll.
The thing is, the NCAA doesn't award a national champion. There are dozens of polls out there (most of them you've never even heard of) and anybody who finishes #1 in ANY of those polls can claim a national title. Most schools don't recognize titles awarded by anybody outside of the AP poll, coaches poll, BCS or CFP. I know for a fact that Miami would have a claim to at least two more titles if they chose to recognize some meaningless poll that awarded them the final #1 ranking.
We gave southern miss and ark st a home and away but we won’t give UCF one? Lol

OK, the first 9 are legitimate selections by recognized National Championship selectors.

How is it 100x more beneficial?Not saying UCF has a claim but we scheduled a home and home with Toledo,Ark St, and So Miss. a home and home with UCF is 100X more beneficial to us.
Also, over the last decade, they’d have probably won 2/3 of those games. Imagine the actual cred that would’ve given them.UCF is dumb AF for not taking a 2 for 1 with us...
It would literally be the biggest games they play during whichever season it would be scheduled for.
I give James a hard time for our scheduling, especially when we're playing teams in the near future like Wagner, but I also understand that a lot of schools for whatever reason make it difficult to do deals with.
Miami despite not being a powerhouse like we once were in the 90's/00's is still a marquee program that gets national attention, I don't get why these lower level schools always try to negotiate with us like they have some kinda leverage.
In most of these situations we're the ones doing the favor.
Real talk. Truth nowadays is about your own personal narrative.
Agree infinity times.F-UCF.
They need to earn national respect the same way Miami and FSU did in the late 70s, early 80s. By being road warriors, and winning.
Not by whining.
