Unbeaten Central Florida's visit to Philadelphia on Saturday, for a noon ET kickoff against improving Temple, has all the makings of one of those dangerous November conference tilts that can derail a dream season.
The No. 14 Knights (9-0, 6-0 American Athletic Conference) have cruised to this point of the year. Eight of their nine wins have come by double digits. They lead the nation in scoring, averaging 48.6 points per game, and their coach has emerged as arguably the most-coveted prospect in the nation.
A potential New Year's Day bowl berth is within their grasp as the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five conferences.
