"In other words, Thanks for playing." - ESPN

[Gismo]

CFP is rigged. 

Even if UCF goes undefeated they (ESPN) give them less than a 1% chance of the playoff. 

They ran this short segment during the Memphis half time show covering all of the undefeated non-P5 teams, ending on UCF. 

The segment ended saying with less than 1% chance at the playoff if they go undefeated and said:

"In other words, thanks for playing."

 

It seemed like a pretty deliberate message to send to the viewers. CFP is off limits to group of 5 no matter how many games you win.

Looking at the schedule... yep, that won’t do it. Short of all hell breaking loose, they don’t (or us if we run the table) deserve to be in the top 4.

G5 doesn't "deserve" it because of a pre-determined strength of schedule rating that they calculate. Who said that though?

This!  A lot of the, "strength of schedule" is based on their own rankings and here's the scenarios:

In the P5 - If team P5A beats ranked team P5B it's because P5A is good

In the G5 - if team G5A beats ranked tean G5B it's because G5B is bad

I saw the segment.  I am not one to normally care about UCF, but obviously that could be us in the future.  It bummed me out that they don't even pretend.

Looking at our schedule next year we might be able to do it if we go undefeated.

Im so sick of the college football system. It is so rigged and biased toward the SEC as well as the other P5 teams that its ridiculous. I will always support and cheer on my bulls, but I'm starting to lose interest in the rest of college football.

So hit the nail on the head on that take.

Stop with this. It literally doesn't matter. Next year Wisconsin will have a "down year" if we beat them to open the season. Period. It means nothing when the people in charge of the entire system says it means nothing.

FIFY.

USF Beat 2 "Power" teams so far this year.  6 of the last 5 too, right?
