Florida lawmakers are being asked to take action the College Football Playoff Committee won’t: Declare UCF national champions.
Kevin Cate, a Democratic consultant and Auburn University graduate, tweeted this week that lawmakers should consider a resolution declaring UCF national champions after it knocked off Auburn 34-27 in the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Day.
On Twitter, the idea gained support from Rep.Amber Mariano, R-Dunedin, a UCF graduate; Rep. Kionne McGhee, D-Miami; and Sen. Oscar Branyon II, D-Miami Gardens.
By Wednesday afternoon, there had been no word from House Speaker Richard Corcoran if such a resolution would be considered when the legislative session begins Tuesday.
