University of Central Florida head coach Gus Malzahn shared his frustration about Cincinnati (8-0) not being in the top four of the first College Football Playoff rankings announced on Tuesday.
Malzahn told Yahoo Sports that the Bearcats have the capability to compete with the best teams in the country, specifically those within the Southeastern Conference.
“I’ve played UGA and Bama every year," Malzahn said. "I know exactly what it looks like. They’re right there. They’re a team that can win the whole thing."
While Malzahn is in his first year with UCF, his prior SEC coaching experience includes stints with the Razorbacks as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2006, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn from '09 to '11 and a second stint with the Tigers as head coach from '13 to '20.
