UCF was national champs a few years back too.

Didn't UCF beat the team that beat the National champs?

NCAA officially recognizes UCF football’s national championship claim
UCF’s 2017 college football national title claim is no longer a statement from the Florida university or it’s fan base. The Knights are now in the NCAA record book as co-national champions with Alabama for the 2017 season. Colley Matrix ranked UCF as the national champions for the 2017 season in its final poll.

Let me ask you a simple question. Did they play in the National Championship game? yes or no 

We all know life is not always fair. Otherwise Florida HS head coaches would be paid what they are worth.

And one more question. How come UCF wasn't invited to play for the National Championship.

I think we all know the answer... Because the college football gods Didn't think UCF deserved to play for the championship.

You can't say because UCF would have been smoked by Bama. They, UCF,  were a powerful team on a mission that year.

Anyway, I doesn't matter. The records say they are Co Champs. End of story.

Regardless if anything is fair or not, the fact remains. They did not play in the national championship game even if it wasn’t fair. 
 

Nebraska lost 62-36 in the Big 12 championship game in 2001 and was still allowed to play in the national title game. Was that fair? Should the number 3 team that year claim part of the title?

It doesn't matter to me if UCF was NC in 2017...  They were  undefeated in 2017 and finished #6 in the AP poll I believe. That was a good year for the Knights.

There are a few frauds on that list that will get exposed somewhere between (and including) the first and third rounds. 

I kind of figured Winter Park was a fraud. Very weak schedule and a few unimpressive performances in their record against relatively weak teams. Not surprised Mandarin took them down.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
