Well, it’s the off-season. Let’s reminisce. Which win was YOUR favorite?

My favorite as well….against our rival.Auburn was biggest, but I’m looking for personal favorite. Maybe for petty reasons, or who u were with, or favorite game scenarios. I’ll never forget the way 2017 Game vs USF looked on national TV. The Crowd, the phone lights, the WAY we won, I watched it from my brothers house (a USF alum.). Special day. I rewatch on YouTube occasionally.
That swung it for me. Auburn was most important, but USF game I can watch over and over.i'm more likely to rewatch the USF game so i'll pick that even though it wasn't more important than auburn.
Sounds like my group too! We had a nice road trip out of it and a bowl win to boot.That 2013 season was magical because we were not on the map yet. We were truly the lovable underdog that came out of nowhere. That Penn State win was the favorite at the time, then the Louisville win, and then the Baylor Fiesta Bowl when we were double digit underdogs. I'm a bit biased about the Baylor game though, because it was one of the best times of my life... traveled cross country with a friend, met another friend in New Mexico, traveled to Arizona for the game, visited the Grand Canyon for the first time, etc.
That one should be on the list…maybe need to remove ranked Houston?Auburn for me. I nearly broke my big toe frantically jumping in jubilation in my living room with Burkett's pick.
Beating Cincy on GameDay is also a big one. What a stage!
That win over Houston was our first ever against a ranked opponent.That one should be on the list…maybe need to remove ranked Houston?
I flew in from san diego with my girlfriend who I had met 2 months earlier for that game. UCF was unknown on the west coast. She sat with me in our 2 ponchos and we had our wallet/phones/keys wrapped in a seprate poncho.Personally, mine is 2009 game vs Marshall. Rain pouring down, huddled under a makeshift canopy with my best friends just hoping to somehow get the W and keep conference championship hopes alive. But hadn’t done shit all game until the 4th quarter. And of course, Brruuuuccceee
Didn't the op put the national champ Game with Auburn in 2018 in his/her poll? I voted for it .How any UCFan could choose anything other than our National Championship win is beyond me.
Maybe personal enjoyment or UCFondest memory or something is what OP was trying to go for. But still suscious why OP didn't put National Championship win in the Poll.

Rankings made some of those games seem more significant (Houston and Louisville for example).I meant in ( ). Small thing.
I have also found that people who quote BS rankings tend to believe the UCFalse ESP5N narratives. So seeing that makes me suscious.

I literally cried on Beale Street with happiness after that win!USF was a great game, but I felt like the Georgia win was a turning point for us. We went from another CUSA contender to the team that scared the SEC out of the Liberty Bowl.
And it didn't feel like a fluke. We showed that we could defend an SEC team better than most of the SEC.
That was the point when I started to believe we could actually make good on our potential, that the gap was not nearly as big as we had been told.
CUSA was pretty bad. We lost 5 games that year and were top 3 in conference.I know it was a loss, but the 2005 CUSA championship vs Tulsa was very memorable for me…
I remember walking up to the ticket booth at the old arena. And somehow they gave me front row at the 50 yard line! I was already a graduate so I had to drive back on campus for those tickets- I don’t know why I thought getting them at there was a better option but it sure did work.
Then on Gameday I parked downtown and somehow the whole downtown was buzzing with UCF fans… the shuttle buses were packed!
Walking past the tailgates, I probably got 4 free beers from random UCF fans who were just happy to be there.
And finally when we walked in, the upper decks even had fans. 52,000 in attendance and all were basically UCF.
That’s when I knew something special was building…
We also got really lucky with a few of those wins that year.CUSA was pretty bad. We lost 5 games that year and were top 3 in conference.
Javier Beorlegui for the win 1-0 against BamaBeing at 2000 Bama game was amazing. We partied in their stadium for what seemed like an hour. Getting that monkey off our back. So many close calls. Yeah they sucked, but they were ranked 3rd in pre-season poll. Plus we can always say 1-0 vs Bama. I took a piece of the hedge with me. And yes I was at Fiesta bowl and Peach bowl victories. Bama was better.
