But the circumstances do appear to indicate that the University of Central Florida athletic director has decided to tell the CFP Cabal to go fuck themselves.
Denied a national title only by the design of every playoff system from the Alliance to the Coalition to the BCS to the CFP, UCF AD Danny White decided he was going to declare his undefeated team national champions, fuck the entire system.
They were the only team to go undefeated. They did defeat an Auburn team with wins over Alabama and Georgia, both #1 at the time. When UCF beat them in the Bigot Bowl (who sponsors the Peach Bowl, people?), White promised to have them treated as national champions, and he made good.
- T-shirts
- Parade at Disney World
- Parade in the streets of Orlando
- Today at the spring game, the team got national championship rings (is that legal under the NCAA rules? Yes, the NCAA authorizes national championship rings in football, but I believe only when SOMEONE with an authority on the subject so declares -- could make for an interesting counterpoint here!)...
- And, after a short highlight video, a tarp was pulled from the facing of Spectrum Stadium (UCF's home stadium) with the declaration "2017 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS"
