Last year all UCF fans were told that they needed to build up a better reputation before their undefeated season would be counted as good as a one-loss season from a better-known team.
And now we all know that's a lie!
None of the talking heads in college football want the undefeated, 25-0 UCF Knights in the college football playoff.
If UCF wins its bowl game they may be able to claim a shared National title again.
We as fans were told that the college football playoff would create a clear champion- no more disputes and no more shared titles. But that's not really what they wanted to do. The bosses wanted to add one more game to the bowl season and one more week to their TV contracts. Nothing more, nothing less. 
In the end I think the CFP will get the ratings and ticket sales they want regardless of which 4 teams are picked. But they want to keep those proceeds in the family, and the family excludes UCF.
