Bill Hancock, executive director of the College Football Playoff, believes there is a way for Central Florida to secure one of the four spots.
Per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), Hancock addressed the Knights' quest to crash the playoff party after missing out in 2017:
"Yes, there is a path. UCF got full consideration from the committee last year. I believe the committee at the end of the season had ranked UCF higher than the sports writers and the coaches had. So they got every consideration and they had a wonderful season. ... For the path, play a good schedule, win your games, and you're going to be in the hunt for the College Football Playoff.
