2021 UCF finished 9-4 beating Gators in the bowl game. UCF first year coach for Gus Malzhan. We went through mega-injuries with 9 starters out by game 3 or 4 (forget). Had to start a freshman qb who was serviceable. Dillon Gabriel our #1 qb who got hurt transfered to Oklahoma and now is getting nods for preseason heismen.

2022 UCF returns many players, coaching staff stays stable and had the greatest recruiting class and impactful transfers coming in from Florida, Auburn, and Bama.

UCF is going to be formidable in 2022. A favorable schedule with Louisville and GaTech coming to UCF. Cinci has to come to UCF this year as well. Cinci of course made the 4 team playoff last year but loses a ton of players. However, heard they had a great recruiting and transfers as well.

This is a transitional year for UCF as 2023 we will be playing in the Big 12 conference.

With that said, with any preseason, everyone is undefeated and everyone is going to be great! UCF can shake things up by going undefeated and probably will be favored in most of the games this year.

I really think it would be a great story line if Gus Malzhan can get UCF into the 4 game playoff like Cinci last year. Afterall, Gus is the only other coach that has beaten Nick Saban 3 times and also UCF is 1-0 all time against Bama. Others, probably wouldn't want to see it happen, there are the haters out there on UCF football. Fortunately we relish in it all and UCF has adopted the phrase, 'the future of college football'.

If I step back though and take off the black-n-gold goggles, I think UCF may lose a game or two, but with the goggles on I think we go undefeated and all the way!
