I was a guest on SEC Network provocateur Paul Finebaum’s TV show earlier this week ostensibly to talk about UCF’s hiring of former Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, but Finebaum quickly turned it into retroactive sparring match, chastising me for having the audacity to support former UCF athletic director Danny White’s self-proclaimed national championship in 2017.
It was either a slow news day in college football or ripping UCF still plays well with Finebaum and his audience of fellow elitists who believe the College Football Playoff should be nothing more than a hoity-toity, invitation-only gala for the four most privileged Power 5 blue bloods.
