I know we don’t like them winning, but doesn’t it make more sense for both UCF and USF to be undefeated heading into Black Friday?

It helps our perception, the conference’s National perception and boosts us more in the rankings if we win. 

Thoughts?

I’m going to go against the norm here and say No. if we beat a 11-0 ucf team I seriously doubt it would get more than 10 seconds of buzz and then people move on.

if we too are undefeated and win out (doubt seriously this happens) the result for us is the same whether ucf is 11-0, 10-1, or 5-6. 

The more ucf wins the more they get talked about in the media, around the water cooler etc. I want them to get zero press and for people to forget they exist. 

Would there be major publicity before 11-0 vs 11-0? Of course. I just find it difficult to believe that it last past the week of the game and then nobody would care.

No, because we are not going to do any better than a NYD6 bowl, regardless on how well UCF does prior to us playing them.

If we somehow make it through the next few weeks undefeated, it could be the biggest game of the entire season, WITH THE CFB PLAYOFF AT STAKE!

Ok, I'll calm down now.

I think, right now, that a 1 loss ucf would still get more press than an undefeated USF going into the game. I also think that both of us playing as undefeated G5 teams that ucf will still be the higher ranked G5 even if we beat them. Them undefeated will be  ranked 5 or 6. USF undefeated will still be ??teen. Would losing to USF cause ucf to drop more than 10 spots?

On the other side, would an undefeated ucf beating an undefeated #15 USF get them in the playoffs? NO, I don't think so.
