YES. Unthinkable! As a 2001 freshman and there were more UF and FSU hats and shirts on campus. Playing teams that most fans never even heard of.For those of us that have been here since the Grothe days, let me just say how amazing this past week has been.
This was UNTHINKABLE when I was in college. What a time to be alive!
06 grad here. I remember USF fans coming over here telling us they didn’t need us anymore because WVU was their new rival.YES. Unthinkable! As a 2001 freshman and there were more UF and FSU hats and shirts on campus. Playing teams that most fans never even heard of.
we knew big things were coming with the OCS opening in 2007, but this feels surreal.
amazing.
I'd love to see Okalhoma and Texas get beat by us or another new member before they. I don't think that will happen because they'll be running for the exit. Also, lets see if they can be the big guy in the SEC like they were in the BIG12. Not so sure it will be so easy...but hey...they are collecting more money.Big 12 commish, Bowlsby? is gonna want to exact revenge on Texas and Oklahoma.
Expect both teams @UCF or the other new teams before they leave. Bastards. They gonna get beat before they leave. See Tulane almost beat Oklahoma. They ain't all that.
Go Knights!
If he was competent and got us money like a P6 we probably wouldn’t be leaving. We are leaving for the money. Not necessarily the P5 label.
Part of that was our refusal to sign GOR agreements, which now seems to have been the right decision for UCF. But I remember hearing that the deal was worth $10 mil/year, or so if we all signed GOR. No GOR was worth $7mil per year.If he was competent and got us money like a P6 we probably wouldn’t be leaving. We are leaving for the money. Not necessarily the P5 label.
I won’t speak for you, but when the playoffs expand, UCF will have access to an auto. I’m not sure the AAC would have.If he was competent and got us money like a P6 we probably wouldn’t be leaving. We are leaving for the money. Not necessarily the P5 label.
No Auto even in 12 team. Only top 6 Conference winners get Auto. If P5 champ has a couple losses or more they may not get in.I won’t speak for you, but when the playoffs expand, UCF will have access to an auto. I’m not sure the AAC would have.
Regardless, that good access plus $25 million/year before T3 rights and conference title game revenue should allow even faster growth. It won’t be SEC or BIG money, but it’ll be close to Pac-12 or ACC, and that’s before those conferences have their OuT moments (no way Clemson is going to stay making $40 million less than its peer football programs)
I’m not sure what you’re saying, but UCF will now have access to an auto when the playoffs expand. That’s happening. They won’t get Gee’s vote to expand without it being that way. Perhaps the AAC would have also, but I’m not sure. I’ve not paid attention to that conference.No Auto even in 12 team. Only top 6 Conference winners get Auto.

He's saying there is no automatic bid. The Top 6 ranked conference winners make it into the playoff. So technically if the MAC champion was the 6th ranked champion and the SEC champion was the 7th ranked champion, the MAC would get it. (Obviously that would never happen)I’m not sure what you’re saying, but UCF will now have access to an auto when the playoffs expand. That’s happening.

You used the wrong conference. PAC has usually been 5th or worse. This year you could have ACC not be top 6. In a down year the others could as well. If a couple G5’s go undefeated they could both slip past 1 or 2 P5 conference champs. Especially if an upset happens in CCG.He's saying there is no automatic bid.

I wouldn't be surprised if they change it to Top 4 or Top 5 ranked champions automatically get in after all this re-alignment. We'll see.
Aresco seems bitter
Yes he’s applying the current standards to the expanded playoffs. I believe that to be false. The Alliance does not want that with the SEC being so powerful.He's saying there is no automatic bid.

TOTALLY! Didn't know if I'd see it happen before I die! LOL OH HAPPY DAY!.....sing it!For those of us that have been here since the Grothe days, let me just say how amazing this past week has been.

That's a good one because we all know how they have intertwined our names for YEARS!!Do you think USF sends an application in too in hopes of them getting the 2 schools confused? Or like applying for a job I know I'm well under qualified for but just giving it the ol heehoo to see...
