Syracuse football should claim the 1987 national championship

In case you missed it, the UCF Knights are college football’s national champions for 2017. Sure, there’s a College Football Playoff National Championship game being played on Monday and UCF’s not in this game. But the Knights, the lone undefeated team in the FBS, are throwing a parade and raising a banner, so who are we to doubt them?

I mean, look at their Twitter feed. If it’s posted there, it must be true, right?

This (reasonably) claimed national title has real potential to create a split championship -- college football’s first since 2003 (USC/LSU).
