The late addition of the 4* running back pushed UCF to #54 on 247 Sport team rankings. Not only is that the top class in the AAC (ahead of #59 Memphis) but it is also the top class amongst all of the teams in Go5 conferences.
For those who do not know, the Group of 5 conferences are the 5 FBS conferences outside the Power 5 conferences. They include the American Athletic (12 teams), Conference USA (13 teams), Mid-American (12 teams), Mountain West (12 teams), and the Sun Belt (11 teams). That is a total of 60 FBS teams.
#1 out of 60 Go5 teams. That is pretty impressive.
Congratulations UCF!

Note: Houston, UConn, USF, and Temple are breaking in new coaches this year. That's 4 teams going through a transition season. The young UCF team is a year older and wiser. That bodes well for a UCF run to the 2017 AAC championship.
