UCF schedule:
FIU
Maryland
Maine
20th ranked Memphis
Cincinnati
Navy
Austin Peay
SMU
UCONN
Temple
USF
20th ranked Memphis

Then defeated the SEC number 7 ranked Auburn Tigers in their bowl game.

USF was ranked in the coaches and AP polls.  UCF can't help that the Georgia Tech came couldn't happen.  

Alabama's schedule:
A down year FSU
Fresno State
Colorado State
Vanderbilt
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Tennessee
17 LSU
23 Mississippi State
Mercer
7 Auburn

Alabama finishes the year with a loss to Auburn...who lost to UCF.

The SEC stuff is nonsense.  Alabama did not play a daunting schedule to get to the playoffs.  They lost their toughest game of the year and still got in.  Their furthest road game for travel was what, Texas A&M?

How can you say these schedules are that much different that UCF shouldn't have been given a shot?  No they don't play in the SEC but I find it hard to believe this UCF team wouldn't have done well with Alabama's schedule too.
