What a great day

What a perfect day

Let all of the naysayers over the years begin to some "crow"

Spectacular day

I saw me on the 8 minute video of the gameday bus making its trip. i'm on there at the 1 minute 4 second through 1 minute 7 second on the right side.

That was very bold of you to be out there naked in body paint.

great game by UCF when the nation was watching.

20 hours of straight UCF football yesterday... 1-0

Now to go to Tampa and play the team that’s never won anything in college football and go 1-0 again.

Rough start, great turn around! UCF's defense was playing well and it showed.

ESPN is at least eating a LITTLE crow.....moved us up to #5 in their (completely meaningless) Power Rankings.

Great to see the defense show up like that. Scoring the most points on Cincy, while holding them to their least is impressive. Hopefully, we bring the same all around intensity to our home game in Tampa next week.

Two completely undefeated regular seasons is surely something I never thought would be possible when I was a freshman back in 2007.

It’s gonna be like 75% UCF fans in Tampa this weekend.

Can’t wait.

Last thread hit 100 pages so it’s time to start over...

I might actually go this year. My conflict is I don’t want to give their program $$

ABC’s broadcast of the No. 11 UCF versus No. 24 Cincinnati game from Spectrum Stadium was the highest rated primetime college football game of the week, delivering a 2.3 overnight television rating.

According to tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com,the game delivered more than 3 million viewers.

For example, the Kansas-Oklahoma game on Fox Sports at the same time drew just 2.6 million viewers.

Way to show the stiffs at the 4-letter network that people will watch ucf if you put them on tv.

The West Virginia loss was good for UCF.


Alabama has a home game against Auburn
Clemson has a home game against South Carolina
Notre Dame is away at USC
Michigan is away at OSU (one of these teams thus goes to two losses)
Georgia has a home game against Georgia Tech
Oklahoma is away at West Virginia
Washington St. has a home game against Washington
LSU is away at TAMU

Every game should be competitive. Frankly I see 2-4 losses in teams competing with UCF for a playoff slot.

Houston is at Memphis, and if the Tigers win, both teams will have tied in the conference record. I assume that means UCF plays the winner of that game as the AAC title game.

If Memphis beats Houston than Memphis owns the tiebreaker on Houston
Tulane beat Memphis earlier in the season so Tulane wins the tiebreaker if Memphis and Tulane tie
Memphis beat SMU earlier in the season so Memphis wins the tiebreaker if Memphis and SMU tie

That stinks SMU didn't beat Memphis. I do not want to see Memphis again this year so please let not be Memphis. Houston, Tulane or SMU one of you please get it done and play us.

I'm a little concerned with us playing USF in the last regular season game with everyone knowing now that we are hosting the conference championship game so that could be a potentially distraction but maybe since we are playing our in state rival it should be fine.

Tampa Bay has a weak fan base, You see it whether you go to Buccaneers or USF home games, The visitor fan base kinda tends to be better than the fans of the home team. The crowd will be mostly UCF fans.

Purchase your championship tickets soon if you plan on attending. We want to fill our place before opposing fans have a chance to buy tickets.

“A directional school and the direction is straight up”

A reflective reality: if the Knights do carve out a 4th place playoff slot, UCF is probable to get ....... drum roll ..... Alabama.

I really do want this.

Question to Magic fans: If UCF goes undefeated this season without a playoffs trophy, then what?

I think it depends.

If we run the table and end up ranked 5th or 6th in the Playoff rankings, I think the message will be along the lines of, ‘Well played, all....coming for ya next year.’

If we end up staying where we are now, or close, then i’m guessing our AD will spend the entire offseason thinking of every way he can to stick his finger in the eye of the ‘Power 5’ establishment. We may even be the two-time defending champions going into next year.

It’ll be bull.... but there’s not much we can do about it. I’m just hoping they don’t send us out to the fiesta bowl again. Traveling to Phoenix from Orlando isn’t easy or reasonably priced. If we made the playoff and the game was at the orange bowl we’d sell 40,000 tickets easy. I could see us drawing just as many for the peach bowl.

Next year we have Stanford on the schedule so we’d have at least one game that should be early against a ranked team. Even if we faulter this year, with Milton coming back we should be ranked to start the season.
