We all know that over 1/3rd of alleged 'Power' programs haven't won a BCS or NY6 Bowl, and barely half have against an AP Top 10 team.
UCF has done both, and both were against AP Top 10 teams, one overall Champion (Big XII), and one Divisional Champion (SEC West).
I was just made aware of this trivia nugget, c/o College Football Final late last night, whereby an alleged 'Power' team never did something before yesterday.
Any other mentions where UCF has done something, or did something before, an alleged 'Power' program?

Virginia, a program that has been around since 1888, just beat their first AP Top 10 on the road in history ... yes, they've never done it in the AP Poll era, since 1936. 
Virginia stuns No. 10 North CarolinaWith the win, Virginia ends a 17-game losing streak to AP top-10 opponents dating back to 2005.

UCF did that with its very first AP Top 10 victory in 2013, on it's 10th road attempt -- 11th total attempt, #8 Virginia Tech at home in 2000 being the sole at-home attempt -- and came close in almost half of the prior 9 attempts -- 1996 to 2012, plus 1995/FCS year v. #1 FSU. At least the ABC/ESPN crew did a good job of pointing out how we have won 3 of our last 7 games against AP Top 10 teams. We had that nice run 2013-2017 where we won 3 out of 4 (all but Michigan in 2016). We're now 3-15 (out of 18, including FCS), or 3-5 (for our last 8).Any other mentions where UCF has done something, or did something before, an alleged 'Power' program?
