If you haven't heard yet, folks in Central Florida are quite insistent that UCF, not Alabama, are the true national champions of college football. Their logic is that UCF went 13-0 and beat Auburn, a team that beat both 'Bama and the team the Tide beat in the national title game, Georgia. Alabama, on the other hand, lost a game so yeah, there's the logic.
UCF athletic director Daniel White is all aboard the UCF-national-champs imaginary train, as he announced that the school would hang a banner honoring the 2017 squad as the kings of college football. He deserves credit for backing up this talk by paying his coaches national championship bonuses.
