Much has been made about the effort Auburn displayed in that game but UCF fairy tale believers refuse to accept it. Look, that is Auburn’s problem. Heck, even beyond Auburn as we see big names skip bowl games entirely if it isn’t a playoff game. It’s a sad state for college football as a whole but it is the truth.
Playing poorly is one thing. Auburn didn’t care to play. That is something different entirely.
You can’t use that game as justification for an argument that the 2017 Knights could withstand a full season of motivated Bama, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and so on opponents.
UCF proved they were too good for the opponents they faced in the regular season and need a lift in competition.
UCF did NOT prove they can be as succeful with a full P5 schedule.
That's such nonsensical post-losing BS. "Auburn didn't care" "Auburn didn't try".
Auburn players themselves talked about how they were ready and giving full effort. Watching the game the commentators noted in the first quarter a number of times that the media wondering if Auburn would show up ready to play was false and they were giving full effort.
Before games it's UCF can't compete, they'll get smoked.
After games, it's the other team didn't show up, they weren't interested.
SEC schools like to pound their chest about their SOSs, yet Alabama's last year before the CFP was pretty damn weak if you ask me.
we cant help it if we broke FSU in the first game of the season
they were 10-3 and #8 the year before.
