Everybody is over hyped preseason. Except UCF who doesn't even get a 'receiving vote'

forgive them as they know not what they do. UCF going to have a pretty good team going into first year of Big 12. Will be interesting if they can take the conference.

I haven't been paying attention. How's their portal acquisitions?

UCF? great. Lost a few players gained a few players. Proof is in the pudding though. I think UCF will be very good this year but I think that every year at this time.

we got a lot of returning players and filled in some holes and added depth.

Two new coordinators, OC and DC. But, I think new OC will be great. Malzhan's offense was getting stale.

schedule is gonna be tough. 6 away games. Will be interesting though. First year in the Big 12.

My one line of thinking is that we did beat Tulane in New Orleans last year and Tulane beat Big 12 champion K-state then beat USC in the bowl game. So they were no slouch. UCF has a better team than last year.

Everyone is healthy for now. Been watching a lot of media post practice reports. UCF will be flying under the radar this season and hoping it surprises many. But, I'm a super fan.

One thing though, good luck trying to get cheap tix for UCF home games now. The conference games are sold out and 2nd hand market only now.

Florida, Florida State, Miami Together In Top 25 A Reminder Of How Things Used To Be

The AP poll released Sunday revealed something that had not happened in exactly six years to the day: Florida, Florida State and Miami all ranked. That is what big early-season wins can do, especially for the Gators and Hurricanes.

The Seminoles, the preseason No. 8, defeated No. 5 LSU in kicking off the season in Orlando. Miami's Week 2 win over No. 23 Texas A&M at Hard Rock Stadium lifted the 'Canes into the rankings and Florida, which began the season with a loss at preseason-No. 14 Utah, opened SEC play with an impressive win over No. 11 Tennessee at the Swamp last week.

FSU checked in at No. 4 in the latest poll, slipping from No. 3 thanks to a scare at Boston College. Miami is No. 20 and Florida No. 25. (The Gators are unranked in the coaches' poll.)
Long known as the Sunshine State's Big Three of college football, the teams combined to win 10 national championships from 1983 to 2013. The titles were pretty evenly distributed with Miami coming out on top four times and Florida and Florida State three times.

Recent seasons have not been as kind.

Clemson will be a heck of a test for FSU following near disaster at BC.

especially @Clemson. Noon kick off. hope it is on a TV station I get.

It always helps to get the basic facts correct, when writing. The U has won FIVE Nat Championships: 1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 2001,

If I do not answer you .... nothing personal, I just have you on ignore.

Let's put an asterisk on 1991 as Washington was undefeated also. Just like 2017 UCF undefeated year that you mock... Asterisk.
