After reading that UCF says Frick it and declares itself National Champions Hahaha, I love it.. . http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21951014/ucf-knights-raise-national-championship-banner
Pathetic how he discounts UCF's victory over Auburn by claiming that Auburn "didn't want to be there." I am sure that if Auburn had won, he would have claimed that the game demonstrated SEC supremacy. Guess I should not be surprised that a guy being paid by the SEC is an SEC apologist and propaganist.
Good for them! Finebaum is a pencil-necked dipsh!t... and I still can't figure out why anyone would listen to a guy who has never played football... :roll:
It seems this has touched a few nerves and upset the egg cart that has been established by Disney oh I mean college football. How dare a team that beat the team who defeated both teams representing college footballs pinacle in 2017 dare claim they are undefeated and declare themselves Champions... It goes against the order of things and may put in question who actually is deserving of being declared the champion...
I tried telling you guys that 8 teams would have solved all this, but everyone took the extended dance remix of the BCS and wanted to do that instead. We get what we get. It sucks for UCF, but I don't blame them for claiming a title out of the air. More stuff like this just expedites the process toward an 8 team playoff.
UCF is far from the first undefeated team to claim the national championship, only the latest in a long line stretching over many decades. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/1/3/16842584/ucf-national-championship-claim
Sid, I m not sure where this guy got the fact that Alabama added 5 retroactively. I found 2. A 10-0 1934 team (which was selected NC by five of the 13 polls the NCAA recognizes) and the 1941 team mentioned. Other than those 2, the NCAA lists Alabama as the NC 14 times. Alabama claims 16, the NCAA lists 14. Not quite as bad as the writer from SB Nation makes it out.
I know, kp. I was just making an attempt at humor. I usually fail when I try to be funny. Most of the time I get eye rolls and fake laughs from my grandkids.
For the record, I laugh at Sid all the time! :twisted: Corey - of all the places on the internet, I think this site is one of the few where the majority WEREN'T on the opposite side of you re: the 8 team playoffs. I only recall a couple...
