That 2017 season was special. It’s the reason UCF and got the invite to the big12, and it opened the door for cincy to get into the playoffs, even though they got crushed but I think anyone other than Georgia would’ve been crushed too. They were robbed by the committee but claiming the national title angered so many people and it’s still talked about today that it was a genius move

[Blueian]

As a Georgia fan I’m more than happy to just declare UCF 2017 national champions over the detestable tide!

[Dr.Mister]

Fun fact UCF was chosen as the national champions by the Colley Matrix which is recognized by the NCAA this is why we could claim national champs without repercussions from the NCAA.

[NewsomSportsATL]

And the game that got canceled was vs a 4-5 win Georgia Tech team… I think they were supposed to host the game too, basically 14-0 which notches them even higher in the polls

2015 was my freshman year at UCF, to say the 2017-2018 football seasons were a fever dream, would be an understatement! I am excited to watch them grow in the Big 12.

[noelramirez]

I love how people hated UCF for declaring themselves national champions when we all know any other team would've done the same thing lol

[KNIGHT-TME]

Thanks for this. 2017 was a great year for UCF. We are still proud to have claimed a national title.

[ronaldtaylor]

That was so good!







Hopefully Scott frost can turn your cornhuskers around.

I came to this video after Florida State got shafted this year saying they are not the only Florida team who has been screwed over by the playoff committee.

[MSU-DetroitFan]

"Scott Frost Turning Nebraska Around" Hmm well that hasn't happened yet 3 years later

[Blkarican]

Just some stats. UCF that year beat 4 ranked (at time of game and pre-bowl) teams that year. Bama beat 2. Also most of bama's opponents had losing records. Media said UCF had no defense and didnt deserve but was completely ok with oklahoma giving up even more yards and scores. But what this video lacks....UCF did said they were national champs....but so did the NCAA. Its in the record book. Just like how bama claimed 1 from 1941.. in 1984...because some dentist said they were. Or auburn on suspension claiming it and awarding rings. UCF did exactly what every other major program did before them. They are officially in the record books. But that wasnt in the video.

[bradd]

I hate how teams get their schedule held against them. It's not like they hand picked their own schedule they have no control. And if if they didnt lose any game, it's amazing to me they didn't even make the playoffs

[trueauburnchampion]

Give em the title. Alabama claims many titles they never won. Hell UCF beat us and we beat AL and GA that year and they played in the championship game. Or what we called, The teams that got beat by Auburn bowl.

[fuquasports]

Love the graphics and videos of this documentary. Nice addition to the channel

[The-one-person-you-remember]

As a USF fan, it brings me pain looking at that first clip.

[chaneygavin]

awesome dude. hopefully your channel can grow as possible as it can

[rubengutierrez]

They won the National because they from the State of Florida. Miami 5, Florida 3, FSU 3, and UFC 1. Florida has 12 Nationals!
