UCF still hasn’t let go of the fact that they got snubbed from the four-team college football playoff this year after going undefeated, and I can’t blame them. Let this school have their shine. They claimed a National Championship, they had a parade, I think it’s awesome. They probably did deserve a shot at the playoff, but right now thats just not how it works.
But they’re going to keep pounding away at the point. After UMBC’s historic upset last night, they took the opportunity to make the case for an expanded playoff again.
Amazing what happens when an under “dog” gets a fair shot in an expanded playoff 😏
Congrats on the history, @UMBCAthletics ✊

Look, UCF is not wrong here. You can be like Herbie and hate the fact that they claimed a title, but they did deserve a shot. We all had egg on our face after they kicked Auburn’s ass in the Peach Bowl. And this is why everybody loves March Madness, for unbelievable upsets like we saw last night. ‘
Could you imagine if they let UCF in the playoff and they made a run and actually won the thing? It would be the best story in sports. There’s no reason it shouldn’t be at least a 6 team playoff. You should always have the possibility of a Cinderella.
Coming from the National Champions, this means a lot. https://t.co/MuzR9iwycj
