One note however... Teams are not rewarded in polls. Programs are. If there is a desire to be ranked, the team needs to perform consistently across several years. this is true of all schools...not just UC

Yeah, I'm pumping the brakes a bit on the ranking stuff. Not to say I'm not enjoying the season (I am- l lot), but our vanquished opponents are a combined 3-11 so far this season. It is nice to see our name mentioned; that usually helps recruiting.
I was a bit disappointed in our tackling Saturday; wrap 'em up the first time and we avoid some of the penalties and perhaps the game would have taken on a different complexion.
I am starting to warmup to our passing game, though.

Never seen a ranking by "weirdness index" but here you go.

Top 30 in both polls today. Pat Forde: "(UCF) finish(es) the season with a couple of monster American Athletic Conference games. On Nov. 17, UCF plays a currently undefeated Cincinnati team in Orlando. Then on Nov. 23, UCF visits currently undefeated South Florida in a rematch of a classic game last year. It remains highly unlikely that the Knights will have the strength of schedule for playoff inclusion, but they do have the potential for two high-profile games to finish the regular season and further their argument."

It's fun to think they might get some recognition for a good start, but I can't say with a straight face that they deserve to be considered one of the top 25 teams in the country at this point. Their schedule has been beyond weak. The best defense they have faced so far is currently ranked #73 in FBS (Miami, OH) - and that is somewhat overstated due to Miami's weak schedule and the fact they played UC in a monsoon when neither team was really moving the ball.
Don't get me wrong...it's been a great start to the season and I never think you need to apologize for your opponent's lack of strength (you can only play the teams on your schedule). But they still have some work to do before being recognized among the nation's best.Last edited by GoCats1994; 09-30-2018, 08:33 PM.
