They won every game they played, and aren't even allowed to compete for a championship. And I don't buy the argument that they could have scheduled tougher non-conference games. There's no way teams like Alabama, FSU, etc. would take the chance of losing to UCF.

The four team playoff is a huge improvement over the BCS, but until this is rectified your basically telling teams outside the big five conferences that their entire season is just an exhibition.

More fair than the selection committee. Boise State vs TCU never would have happened.

Undefeated and beat the team that knocked off BOTH National Championship teams!

Too bad their biggest win came AFTER the championship selection.

Being in a powerhouse conference has its downside. Just ask Auburn.

Punishing game after punishing game makes it unlikely to get through a season undefeated. The teams UCF plays in-conference are the very teams the Big 5 Power Conferences get criticized for scheduling!

UCF will always have a hard time getting respect if they remain in a backwater conference. And there will always be backwater conferences!
