I think a 10-1 (11-1 after beating SMU), finishing Top 20 and getting a BCS bowl is more than we've accomplished, yes. Our history of marquee wins is certainly more impressive, and I've LONG argued that even in UCF's best years prior, their records were padded with wins in crappy conferences (as evidenced by our throttling of them, and Kevin Smith, during what was their best season). We had huge wins, and I'm proud of our history...but we'd KILL for a season like this. I'm a die hard Bulls fan, and go to as many games as I can. I'm not shilling for UCF. I'm just saying they've impressed this year, all told, and have put together a better season this year than we've ever had. Not sure if you want to hold your breath much longer, but there you go. One season does not surpass an overall body of work. Also remember that was their 400th game and our 200th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, we helped them by beating Cincy too. Go Bulls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they beat Louisville, I think they might have been in position to be higher ranked. We really paved the road for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it Thinking the same thing especially against a traditional power You guys need to pay more attention to their whole season. They played South Carolina very close and beat UL and Penn St on the road. I think as someone else said earlier that they seem to play to the level of their competition. Unless they play someone like FSU or Oregon(doubt it will be either) I think they will be competitive in their bowl game and for the American I hope they win.

So yeah, it has been worse. UCF is far from being BCS caliber, but they're going, and that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
