Anyone else worried about the prospect of playing UCF in a New Year's 6 bowl?

I’d have no issue playing them but it would have to be a game in Orlando or Tampa because no-one else would give a fvkk.

As I told my sons, it’s a very high risk very low reward game.

We've been blown out 2 of our last games and the one win we had was by the skin of our teeth. One of our blow out losses was freakin Missouri. And you guys think we would curb stomp ucf? Where does this confidence come from?
The fact that UCF has a roster of 1-star players?

Well to be fair, Mizzu wasn't exactly chocked full of 5 stars and I heard it here that their QB was trash. I think we beat UCF but I don't know that we stomp them. Yes, its sad I know. We are still shaking off the butters stink and you just never know.

Missouri has 5 times the talent UCF has.

I sincerely hope we play them. They wouldn't be getting a disinterested Auburn team this time.

Coulda sworn were projected to play em in the fiesta bowl or some shcit
Jerry Palm of CBS Sports projects us in Fiesta against UCF. Would Fiesta really want two teams from FL who probably wouldn't travel all the way to AZ (well, maybe UCF fans would)? I imagine Fiesta would want a Big XII or Pac-12 team, although I don't think a Pac-12 team would make it. Okie, presuming they win Big XII but no playoff for them, would be a candidate.

I would be more worried about such a boring, lackluster bowl matchup that nobody outside the state of Florida would care about.
But to answer the question, we could run it down their throats and UCF couldn’t do anything to stop it. By midway in the third quarter they’d be gassed, beaten and begging to go back to 1-AA (I know, it will always be 1-AA to me).
And always I-AA to me, too. Heck, the university I teach at has SIX I-AA national titles . . . Georgia Southern.

Why would UF get in that spot over Kentucky?

If I'm correct, we are tied in the SEC-East standings but they own the tie-breaker.
Kentucky's loss to Vols dropped them below us in Playoff Rankings. At this point, it has nothing to do with SEC standings (East or West, except for the two teams in Atlanta). Finish in the Top 12 of the playoff rankings, and you are guaranteed a New Year's Six Bowl. That's why it is so important for, as a minimum, ND to take out Syracuse in Yankee Stadium tomorrow. The 'Cuse is 12th, we are 13th. It sure would be nice for Cincy to upset UCF, but I don't know about that one.

Sigh. Eventually if we want to compete for titles, we're going to have to be able to throw the ball downfield. I didn't think this was a difficult concept.
This post got a dislike. You'd have to be mentally ill to dislike this post.

Ox is right - forewarned is forearmed. Butters would have our guys disinterested for such a game. Mullen will not.

we would be able to run on them all day and then some. They have really poor safety, linebacker, and CB play. Any above average team would expose this team badly.

Last years UCF was a different story. They were legit good.

Reasonable statement and question. Probably the same reason Bama would get mauled by the Bucs.

Such a game would be a daunting quandary. UCF's side-weaving offensive players might fool us for gouging gains or our D may barge in for many TFLs? We can be seen as mediocre making them look bad, while they can be seen as great making us look mediocre. Cinderella's slipper has a sharp pointy heel.

Anyone really want to fly to Phoenix to watch us play a creampuff Orlando Community College?

Or that the bowls are going to take four SEC teams?


Well, that is one heck of a BIG community college. They are still the 2nd largest (enrollment) in the nation - much larger than UF. I believe that UCF will be a consistent football contender in the future. Unfortunately,the only current bragging right that UF & the 'Canes have is that we are still the top academically

Perhaps, but you also have dementia.

The are a commuter school. An overgrown community college and a directional school. I can tell you from experience 90% of the kids there wear Gators, Nulls, or scUM stuff. Not Central Golden Knight stuff.
