The UCF Knights beat the Auburn Tigers 34-27 in the Peach Bowl to cap their undefeated season.
The win is a complete vindication of a UCF team that deserved so much more respect than it received from the college football invitational[1] selection committee. The Knights showed up in a game that very few picked them to win (we did of course – we actually watch the games). Auburn, which boasted two wins over number one teams, just couldn’t handle that AAC speed.
It didn’t happen in the way that anyone would have thought, however.
