Final AP Top 25 - UCF finishes 6th
- Thread starter ucfversusbcs
- Start date
The idiot voter eye test poll.
Clemson loses to Cuse and embarrassed by Bama and still get 4th. Seems legit.

When most are against you, to climb 4 spots, 4 first places, I'm happy with progress. Even my close friends are rude on us being National Champs, some friends I have. There seems to be a real love and hate relationship with us, I can't explain it. I still remember Oleary at a luncheon saying when he would call for a game, other teams saying, where is UCF. That is not too long ago.

Remember, there's a guy voting in this from a paper in Ohio who thought Cincinnati was a non-conference game.
Congrats on the Top 10 finish but your guys deserved more.
Congrats to both USF and Memphis for making top 25 as well!
On to 2018....

Definitely liking that 3 AAC teams made the final poll, well deserved. Of course we got shafted but whatever.
Just because I said such bull does not mean I summoned you.
Lol thanks. Congrats on the top 25 finish
I'm originally from Cleveland, and no way do the Brown's come in 2 spots ahead of UCF
It's Bullshit that we are behind any team with a loss, but to behind teams with 2 losses is ridiculous.
Only 4 AP voters know what they are doing

acc was weak. Navy destroyed Virgina, their champion gets blown out in the fake news playoff
UCF would be one of the top 4 football programs in the ACC immediately. Once the money and recruiting bump kicked in we'd trade championship seasons with Clemson and FSU on the regular.
Not sure if we get (4) #1 votes without the DW National Championship campaign.

I lay a little blame on USiF and Memphis. The cows' loss to Houston dinged our SOS as well as Memphis' bowl loss to Iowa State (at home). That said, I doubt the committee would have cared either way.
At the end of the day these AP voters are a joke, Clemson with two nasty losses (Syracuse and a beat down to Alabama) ahead of us is wrong. Ohio State had some good wins (USC, PSU, Wisky) but that Iowa loss should put them behind us. There is no way UCF should be ranked lower than #4, even considering the bias.

44 points separates us from the #4 team Clemson. they got 1292 total points in votes. We got 1248. It sucks but its not a steep drop off.
I think if USF hadn't lost to Houston, Memphis beat Iowa State, and the Georgia Tech game had been played and we won by double digits it would not have matter one damn bit. This was the absolute ceiling for our team this year in the current structure.
Maybe Hancock tells them ‘hey we need UCF to quit chirping about our system just invite them’
Oklahoma, Ohio State and Clemson are all teams that lost games to weak competition during the season. How can voters possibly know if they would beat UCF in a playoff game?
Every year. The rankings for next year are a joke. UF and FSU are back in it after disastrous seasons and new head coaches who run totally different offenses.
That's basically how Utah got into the power structure. My silence could be purchased with an invite to the ACC.
Danny White does such a great job in his interviews explaining AAC and UCF position on how the 2017 season played out. He has done more with promoting the AAC than anyone else this year. KUDOS to Danny.
At the Marriott in San Jose getting breakfast. This guy And I do the, "you go first" "no, you go first". I thank him and proceed. I am wearing a UCF polo and as I turn to get some eggs, I hear him say, "I'm an Aurburn grad, I didn't even watch the game last night, and you guys are National Champs".
That is exactly how they got in. Senator Orrin Hatch threatened the NCAA with a massive lawsuit. They invited Utah and the lawsuit threat conveniently disappeared.
We need a powerful politician to do the same here. We have a HUGE alumni base. We want into the ACC. They want our votes.
So, do we have a deal Mr. Grease-my-palm politician ?
(FWIW - I think we had one in John Mica, maybe. But he lost. I do not care how or why he lost but I think that was one big UCF ally that was lost. I do not TRUST any of the other local politicians, Buddy Dyer included, to support us in Tallahassee or at the federal level. Look at Bill Nelson. Been a senator since the 80's. Never went to bat for us.)
