Congratulations to the 2017 National Champions.... the undefeated UCF Knights!
Alabama winning pretty much all, but guarantees that UCF finishes as the #1 ranked team on The Colley Matrix, and potentially on the Wolfe Rankings. Both are one of the 40+ NCAA-recognized "national champion major selectors."

You need a hobby if you're still "depressed" about the bowl game loss. Move on man.

I chuckled.

yelled it out at the line of scrimmage on Sunday Night Football.
Also, who cares what you think is funny. Either laugh or don't. No need to be a dick.

Can't Aussies and marsupials just get along????

Michigan beat Minnesota beat MTSU beat Syracuse beat Clemson beat Auburn beat Alabama.
So, you know what that means!

UCF is the national champion?

Grinds my gears that Saban now has 2 National Championships without winning his conference. Only in the S-E-C!
January 9th, 2018 at 12:44 AM ^
...nothing will change. They have the ability to go to the committee and decry the devaluing of their conference championship, but they don't do it...afraid of losing money
So, in the meantime, Alabama is the NC...not some team from a middling conference that played nobody.
And BTW...OSU could have been in the category last year,if they had played offense.

...but I do think that it's important to point out that Alabama didn't get in over their conference champ, they were selected in additon to. It doesn't devalue the SEC conference championship.
January 9th, 2018 at 8:59 AM ^
They should only pick conference champions. Bama didn't deserve to be in the playoff in the first place.
January 9th, 2018 at 9:22 AM ^
January 9th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
...they did win the national championship. I think that the conference champion should be the first from their own conference, but if there is a better alternative in another conference, they should go. A weak Power 5 conference champion shouldn't go over a better team in another conference...SEC hate notwithstanding.
January 9th, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Why even have a conference championship is the key question. Regular season round robin to playoff makes the most sense. Conf championship games are just for TV and not all that interesting to fans. If Michigan were in a position to beat OSU and lose a conf championship, I'd take it over losing to OSU and winning that conf championship game. Ideally we'd skip the champ game, beat OSU and go right to an expanded playoff, but that would result in less conference revenue so will never get support from the execs running the BIG.

They stood a chance against Auburn.

I get their beef, but they weren't out there tonight, and their schedule was garbage.
Scott Frost can't help but beg for a championship he didn't win. Stop encouraging him.
January 9th, 2018 at 1:34 AM ^
UCF deserves a share of this national championship more than Nebraska did in that bullsh!t 1997 coaches vote.

We wouldn't have given Western that privilege if they beat a fringe Top 10 Wisconsin team last year in the Cotton Bowl; UCF is the same exact scenario.

YAY UCF!!
I want to hype this up as much as possible. Not only because I hate Bama, but I want Finebaum to move his trolling ass from Harbaugh to Scott Frost. That would be a great change.
January 9th, 2018 at 1:05 AM ^
I think Finebaum is secretly pulling for us next season. It's hard to troll someone who's being trolled by everybody right now.

The problem is that the win against Auburn came to late to matter. If UCF would have scheduled Auburn as one of their non-conference games then it would have mattered.

wheres the NCAA? Shouldnt they issue a cease and desist order? It Undermines the whole NCAA and NC game...Anyone can claim a National Championship..They should threaten or Issue NCAA Sanctions against UCF
January 9th, 2018 at 8:20 AM ^
Why should the NCAA care? The college football playoffs is not an NCAA sponsored tournament.
