No, they aren't.  There is no opinion here.  UCF has had a remarkable season, but they are not National Champions, no matter how much they want to say they are.  With that said, I do like the conversation it's bringing out and hope it leads to some substantial changes.

You are wrong.  A committee sitting behind closed doors determining who participates in a 'playoff' from a subset of schools is the definition of opinion.  But that's ok, I fully support ADDW's stance as he is furthering the conversation with our title claim.  Something that I think that will benefit all G5 schools in the long-run.  If someone doesn't like it, they should have beaten us.

Wouldn't declaring yourself National Champions entirely on your own count as an "opinion" too?

Listen Chad, what you guys did was great, and I think you should have been in the playoff because it should be at least 8 teams and the highest ranked G5 team (that's you btw), should be included.  But claiming a national title doesn't make it so.

I’m stunned and disappointed the Bulls aren’t coming out in droves to support our title as this process paves the way for USF to claim a title in a similar manner. The playoff is simply a beauty contest and if the prettiest woman isn’t invited, she’s still the the belle of the ball, right?

I'm not wrong.  Declaring yourself national champions doesn't make it so.

Eh... Your friend Mike who used to come around here thought his sister was the prettiest woman at the ball and it didn't make it so.

You don't have a title though.  You're analogy sucks BTW, the, "prettiest" is an opinion, UCF having a national title is not.

Chad, not missing a day of work at your job at the fry station of McDonald's doesn't make you the CEO even if he takes time off.

You are entitled to your opinion that UCF lays no claim to a National Title, regardless we are undefeated.

Then why did you even bother to play the bowl? If White is serious about this, as soon as Wisconsin lost he should have proclaimed y'all national champions, given the coaches the bonus and sent them on their way to Nebraska .... scheduled the parade and banner and hit the media outlets.

The solution seems simple to me.  Expand the playoff to only include conference champions.  The reason this wont happen is because the P5 would be forced to share the revenue from these bowls with other conferences.  Their greed is unfairly harming a large swath of student athletes.

The reason that won't happen is not because of sharing revenues it's because it's totally illogical. You could have an 8-3 Arkansas State going to the playoffs but a 12-1 Alabama sitting home.

Have you researched old titles Alabama’s claimed or researched BYU’s National Championship year? Even undefeated Auburn claimed the title despite not being eligible to play in a bowl. UCF as National Champs has more credibility than all 3 and I fear at this stage of insanity we’ve all accepted the ESPN narrative more than facts and information. Thus, we’ve all lost. Smh.

So?  The process seems to work fine for the NFL.  

If you don’t think this is about $$$ you are being naive.
