Going to claim the National Title and hang a national champion banner in their stadium.

Very good team. Got sort of a raw deal, but definitely not national champions.

That seems pretty silly. Hang a banner for your undefeated season and just be happy with that.

Yeah....I dunno. I think Illinois used to claim a piece of the 1952 (or something) title because some group (neither the AP nor the UPI) declared them national champs. Kind of silly.

Scott Frost is a feisty one. He lobbied in '97 when the Huskers and Wolverines split. Huskers were # 2 in both polls, but picked up the coaches vote, I think, after Michigan beat Wazzou in a relatively close Rose Bowl.

Hanging a homemade National Championship banner in their stadium is embarrassing and does nothing but make them look like a bush league program.

I'm ok with that though. There are some allowed, per NCAA, sources to claim a national title. I assume the 1952 title is one of those.

You can't just make it up and grant it to yourself because you went undefeated. It sucks they didn't get a shot at a title but have a parade for an undefeated season.

Good for them.

Defeated the team that beat both teams playing for the national championship.

Kind of cringey . . . awarding yourself a title....just get a banner going and be cool with it.

I don't think 'kind of' is necessary .... that's full-on cringey.

Like Clubber Lang, I think they deserved their shot, but . . . they didn't get it. Still a great season.

After watching the first half of this game, I no longer have an issue with UCF doing that.

College football blows.

yeah, sorry, that UCF team isn't hanging with either of these teams in this venue. auburn is a good beat in a mean nothing bowl game but thats not the cfp.

i don't think they'd get blown out by 50, i just think they'd be double digit dogs for a reason.

Auburn also beat Alabama. So for those scoring at home:

If Auburn > Alabama and If UCF > Auburbn, then UCF > Alabama

wouldn't be surprised if Trump looked at Rollins College next door in Winter Park, Florida. Dated a girl in undergrad whose sister attended Rollins...east coast types with cash who couldn't get into Fordham even. They had the best parties. I think Mister Rogers is a Rollins alum.

Indiana is sneaky there with 7. Pennsylvania seems very low at 10.

I'd like to see if they count odd sports boarding "schools" when considering where the children cam from.
