Why I should be AD at UCF

As soon as the final whistle blew yesterday, I'd have broken out the "National Champions" hats and t-shirts and handed them to every player on the field. I'd have declared to ESPN that UCF is the undefeated and undisputed national champion. I'd herald the perfect record, I'd harp on the fact that every other team in Division I football has lost, and I'd repeatedly note that Auburn whipped both Georgia and Alabama this year...Got that? Both of the two teams playing for the mythical national championship have lost to the team that my UCF boys had just beaten.

Would anyone buy it? Probably not. But EVERYONE would talk about it. And when was the last time everyone was talking about UCF football?

Side note: Sometimes we discuss on this board how much of success is a function of talent, and how much of it is attributable to coaching. Fifty one (51) members of this year's 13-0 squad were also on UCF's horrible 0-12 team in 2015. Then coach Frost came in. He went 6-6 in 2016, and "Won the national championship" the next year.
