I will give Malzahn and Mohajir this ..... they understand the reality of UCF's current scheduling situation and if they wanna schedule the "Big Boys" ( and get the final 4 respect they want ). they are going to have to start by doing so on terms that are less than perfect for UCF. Danny White stood on some misguided "principle" and in the end ..... it did nothing to help UCF get "final 4" cred.



" Former athletic director Danny White made it a point to talk about playoff expansion repeatedly, but he remained steadfast in his resolve to not settle for terms Power 5 teams offered when it came to nonconference scheduling.

Malzahn and Mohajir signaled a shift away from that philosophy, saying repeatedly they believe there is a way for UCF to make the top 4 as an undefeated team. And one way is to schedule and beat top-10 nonconference opponents. When Mohajir was hired, he indicated he would be open to scheduling Florida if the right opportunity presented itself.

"I'll play out in the parking lot," Malzahn said. "Terry can decide if we're playing at home or on the road, I just want to play them and I want to beat them."

"We're going to do everything in our power as a program to give our guys a chance to do that, and I truly believe we will be in the final four in a short period of time."
