Most of the talk shows thought UCF should have been in the playoffs

I'm assuming they meant an expanded playoffs ...

This was back in early December and they had one of the cfp committee on. They were advocating for Central Florida to be in the final four based on being 12-0 and the USF and Memphis games. 

 

I am am not saying I agree or disagree either way, just pointing out the pompous self declaring of champs has turned advocates into enemies

Feel kind of honored that they thought so highly of us ..... misguided as it was.

arguably, the Knights were a bigger topic on talk radio and debate shows than Alabama and Georgia for much of the week.”

Arguably indeed.  Here they poked fun for 90 seconds and moved on to playoff talk.  And they only talk about around the country because the farce of it all, not because anyone thought a win over Auburn meant anything.  They’re not talking about UCF’s “amazing” season but how they declared themselves champs.

From the Times today:

TWEETABLE

We see UCF making the tournament in 19 % of our simulations, most often as a 12 seed. If they don't they can still claim themselves National Champions anyway. ESPN Stats & Info, to a Twitter question about UCF basketball's odds of making the NCAA Tournament

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
