No. 13 Central Florida's 49-21 win at Georgia Tech cements the Knights' status as the team to beat in the Group of Five and maintains the program's underdog hopes of crashing the College Football Playoff, which took a hit this week with the Big Ten's decision to return to play in October.
First, the good news: UCF's convincing win comes one week after Georgia Tech's upset of Florida State put the Yellow Jackets right on the verge of the Amway Coaches Poll, as the first team outside of the Top 25.
While the Jackets are not viewed as a major ACC contender, meaning the win might look weaker in November than on Saturday, the Knights can lean on a 28-point road victory to rise in the polls while turning to games against American competition.
