Anyone Hoping UCF Wins Tonight?

Time for a crippling UCF turnover.

And Northern Illinois was 12-2. Records don't tell the whole story in college football.

 

Baylor has the best offense in the country, big wins vs TTU, Texas, they also beat oklahoma (another BCS team) by 30+

 

UCF with wins over UL, Houston, PSU... should have beat SC.

 

both are good teams... absolutely nothing like NIU

 

 

Good? I guess, but not much more than that. But that doesn't make what I said untrue. You offered their records as evidence, and NIU, which lost the same number of regular season games, is clear proof that the record doesn't tell the whole story. Is UCF exactly as good as Alabama, a team that finished with exactly the same record? Of course not. UCF went 11-1 in part because they are an above-average team, maybe, and in (larger) part because their schedule was a joke. You say they almost beat South Carolina - well they also almost lost to USF. You're cherry-picking facts here.

Schedule was a joke? I didn't see any Div. 1AA teams this year. Calling it a joke seems a little harsh.

I'm not cherry picking facts, i'm just going by what I've observed over the course of the season. I believe that both of these BCS autobid conference champion schools are really good teams.

Wonder if UCF folds now? Regardless, I was hoping for a blowout in the first half.

No. Give them credit for one thing they are mentally tough. Have been all year.

Guess not. Glad I don't have any UCF friends up here they will be difficult to live with if they pull this out.

Isn't it odd ucf doesnt have their team or school name or logo (or player name) prominently, at least, on their uniforms?

Teams with a winning record that UCF beat this year:

 

Penn State (7-5)

Louisville (11-1)

Houston (8-4)

 

Joke is the right word. And because I anticipate you trying to make the Louisville win more than it really was, here's the teams with winning records the Cardinals beat:

 

Houston (8-4)

Cincinnati (8-4)

Ohio (7-5)

 

For comparison, Alabama beat six teams with winning records - and that includes LSU and Texas AM, each of whom had multiple impressive wins themselves. The only semi-impressive win on UCF's schedule is against a team that in fact has no impressive wins themselves.

Baylor is a joke on defense. I'm sure the 8 year olds tackle better
