So, michigan deserved to stay closer to home. Really, Why again? We sent 40,000 fans to last year's Peach Bowl. Owned the place. What a mistake to not send us there against the gators. I definitely bet that Gator AD has a say in who they would play and wanted to avoid UCF. Is it really right to have no representation for UCF in that committee?

I think Michigan D crushes the gators and we have a game where the only points on either side are field goals or pick sixes. I too lost hope in the first half. The second half rivaled last year. Wow. no small task. Seriously entertaining. Who is scott frost again?

i am not alone in thinking ucf would crush the gators if they played

LMAO! Michigan played Stanford in the very first Rose Bowl game in 1902, and have since played there 20 more times.

I'm sure they're familiar with the route to Pasadena, love the weather and hotels there, and would be happy to play another sorry Pac-10 team.

Peach Bowl really blew an opportunity.

I'd love to have a hidden mic in that CFP boardroom!

Someone explain why its Obvious Michigan deserved to stay close to home rather that UCF who just won their conference?

Commentary: Gators AD Scott Stricklin: UF didn't duck UCF in the Peach Bowl

University of Florida athletics director Scott Stricklin wants to make one thing perfectly clear to those UCF fans who keep blowing up his Twitter account:

The Gators did not duck the Knights in the Peach Bowl.

"We would have loved to have played UCF in a bowl game," Stricklin told me Monday. "I think it would have been an exciting matchup and created a lot of interest, but we also think our game with Michigan is an exciting matchup, too."

The reason many conspiracy theorists believe the Gators vetoed a potential Peach Bowl game with UCF is because Stricklin is one of the 13 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee, which sets the match-ups for the major New Year's Six Access Bowls.

Not only that, but it sure seems fishy that the committee would pit Michigan against Florida in the Peach Bowl even though this will be the third time those two programs have met in last four years. UCF, meanwhile, is playing LSU in the Fiesta Bowl.

Those were the days of set in stone conference ties to certain bowl games. In this case the winner of the Pac 12 and the Big !0 ...... ALWAYS played in the rose bowl.

I think you should be happy about the perceived ducking and slight.

NOTHING has fueled your SQUAD'S run more that the ginormous chip they have on their shoulder ...... both last years and this years coaching staffs deserve major props for how they have used it to get your SQUAD up off the deck and playing with their hair on fire.

Takes one of the Nation's best teams to play with your hair on fire and win 25 games in a row. Every team is bringing their A Game to knock you off. Glad to see you finally coming around.

Go Knights! Beat the Tigers! (auburn, memphis, and now LSU tigers) We know how to slay tigers!

Lets break down the other bowl games coming up. I'll take a good look at them the next few days.

The "BEST TEAM IN THE NATION" barely squeaks past Memphis twice in one year.. Bahaha still laughing at that one. Humble pie time The UCF squad deserves a lot of respect. If only we had a deeper playoff. I hope you all SMASH lsuwho for the beat down they put on my Canes. IMO That Auburn team from last year is trash compared to this lswho team. The defense lswho has is no joke. Good luck to UCF's O-line that front seven is scary stuff. Miami vs Wisconsin in the whitey tighty bowl.. Two ten win teams from last year that shit the bed this year. Its in NY.. Those badgers love playing us in the cold..

On another note.. Old Bill Snyder Kansas States HC retires after 27 seasons. Old Paul Johnson's GT's Rambling Wrecks triple option will no longer be around the ACC as he plans to retire after the 11th season with the Yellow Jackets.

Best Team In The Nation...UNDEFEATED, UNDISPUTED...until we lose I'll keep repeating that.

Urban Meyer announces retirement. Probably should have been fired. Bill Snyder great coach! Loserville hires Appy State Coach.

Interesting factoid: Scott Frost voted UCF at #5 in the latest coaches poll, with Ohio State at #4. Gotta make his new conference look tough, I guess.

The rest of the coaches and AP have us at #7, ahead of Michigan.
(Too bad they didn't consider that when deciding who deserved to stay closer to home.)

Saban voted Georgia #5.

Hold up your hand if you think that Ol Urban is actually done being a Head Ball Coach

In the big scheme of things, UCF will be better off playing LSU. They are a more formidable and respected team than my Gators and the Fiesta is a more prestigious bowl than the Peach. So, win should boost their ranking at season's end. And, a close loss to LSU might be better than a close win over the Gators. As far as the Gators ducking them, that is laughable; teams don't get to pick their bowl opponent. (If they did, UCF would be playing Bama). No bowl wants a team 2 years in a row if they can avoid it. That has been a rationale for many bowl matchups over many years. Dave has drunk so much Kool-Aid that his powers of reasoning are in the toilet. He sees conspiracies everywhere. (Of course, he was probably an engineering grad, so, his powers of logic and reasoning were limited to begin with.)

teams pick bowl opponents in a round about way. look who makes the decisions. also ucf cant help that teams wont schedule games with them regular season. it is lose lose for a power 5 team.

Another interesting factoid: Two voters ranked UCF at #4 in their AP poll votes, and one placed them at #16, putting 7 3-loss teams ahead of them.

UF coach Dan Mullen put his own Gators at #8 in the coaches' poll, LSU at 9, Penn State at 10, UCF at 11.

Factoid for Garcia, The College Football Playoff Committee choses the bowl game match ups. The Athletic Director for the University of Florida sits on that committee.

UCF has zero representation on that committee.

That's a conspiracy?

Only in your mind.

Real story behind UCF Knights' bowl bid remains a mystery
