That's why we have our even series with Miami...

That's why we have our 2-1 series with FAU and FIU.

We don't need UCF if FAU and FIU are already giving us a much better game.

At first I laughed at this taking it as a huge put down of UCF. Then I look back at the games we played against them and realize this statement is not only halrious but true.

I don't know why this is hard to understand.  We will have played a four game annual series.  Why is that not enough?  I would say it is more unreasonable to expect that we will play an annual game with UCF.  If it isn't one of the big three, it doesn't make sense.  UCF would do the same.  No one owes anyone anything.  We especially don't owe UCF if they can't even beat us.  Time to move on.

And it is good for UCF to develop their own identity apart from USF.  The conference championship went a long way towards that.  It needs to continue to develop to the point where UCF fans don't call to mind USF when UCF is mentioned.  USF doesn't need UCF to validate itself.  If only UCF felt the same about USF.

A 2-1 deal is quite fair.  With the Big East scheduling woes a long term deal with UCF is not a bad idea.  Just make it lopsided.

Maybe one day they'll be good enough to warrant an even series, but that day isn't today.  We should offer a 2-1 and if they say no, then walk away no harm no foul.  Just make the offer public so no one can say we didn’t' try.

why dont we just replace our I-AA opponent with UCF every year.  we get all the home games.  sounds like the fairest deal to me.

I agree, good idea. But doesnt the NCAA force us to play a 1AA? I thought there was some rule so that 1AA have a shot at playing some good teams.

No it is not mandatory to play 1AA teams.  However, almost everyone does as such a win counts toward the 6 needed to be bowl eligible.  Also it is almost always a one and done home game for the 1A team.  I think it is stupid but as long as it counts towards bowl eligibility expect most schools to play one.

In that case, I dont think an annual first game of the season series would be bad if we replace our 1AA with UCF. As much as I am tired of playing them, this first game could be a great tradition. I mean, with very few other meaningful games going on, ours could be the center of attention to kick off the cfb season; and possibly our, and definitely UCiF's, best chance at a college gameday. Ofcourse, we'd have to start with a 2-1 until they win one
