Breakfast. With a Miller beer.
UCF taking that National Championship thing really seriously.

In other news, Tennessee unveiled their National Championship of Life banner.
I'd take him. In fact, I like him more now for going after the Fuhrer!
Wouldn’t it be an NCAA violation. Unless they are plastic and cubic zirconium.
Embarrassing.
Could you imagine what our neighbors to the north in green and gold would do if they ever had an undefeated season.
Might as well imagine it because we aren't ever going to see it.
Not CU related, but check out this 16 year old’s SPARQ results. It’s like he was created in a video game.

That’s a crazy impressive performance. Also crazy that Ty Evans’ agility time is actually better than this kid’s.
Geez, crazy numbers.
Presented without comment
Dang.
Wow.
That stat is so stunning, I had to go and look it up to confirm. Sure enough:
GT: 10
Mich: 9 (by 3 QBs)
Michigan's offense was rated 101st in total yards. Wow. That is CU under Embree/early MM level of bad.
I've seen this floating around and commented on by a lot of current and former players. Is this new for 2018? This could also go into the "WTF is wrong with people" thread as why the **** do these sports leagues insist on cracking down on insignificant issues such as whether knee pads go past the knee or a back pad is showing?
Because student-athlete.
surprised they aren't requiring the jersey be tucked in as well.
The knee thing goes to making sure that the players are wearing the knee pads, so "safety". Prohibiting the exposed stomach, exposed backpad, and untucked under shirt is so stupid. Who gives a ****?

Next step is to be like the NFL where they have very specific requirements on how you wear your socks.
I think that's driven by the apparel partner and an overall brand image for the league, though. I'm not sure that applies so much to college football. Like, does anyone care if Miami wears half shirts?
Point of clarity: should have said "didn't used to recognize a football national champion". They do with the playoff now.
They do? I thought the playoff was a made for TV thing that wasn’t sanctioned by the NCAA.
Well, alrighty then.
Not so sure about that. There is no NCAA championship trophy for the CFP. The crystal ball trophy is the AFCA trophy and the new one is through the CFP committee.

Who runs the College Football Playoff?
The College Football Playoff is run by the FBS conferences. All 10 conferences, as well as the FBS Independents, are members of the entity – CFP Administration, LLC. The conferences manage the Playoff Semifinals, as well as the College Football Playoff National Championship. A board of managers, management committee, counsel and College Football Playoff staff also assist in the execution of the playoff. To learn more about the governance of the playoff, click here.

OK. So it's a championship that is official in terms of all NCAA members who compete at the D1 FBS level have entered an organization to determine a champion but did it without making it an NCAA event. That's actually interesting because it points to the P5 programs wanting to have total control and not allow the NCAA to make decisions about format. But when all members of FBS agree that this is how the FBS champion is determined then it's still a real champion, no longer the "mythical national champion" crap we had before.
I think the only argument is the "all members agree" is not necessarily how it works. I think it is pretty much the P5 said this is how we are doing it and threw a bone to the G5 schools to avoid threats of anti-trust action or legislation. An NCAA sanctioned event would have given UCF a legitimate shot at the championship and require a 16 team playoff guaranteeing the winner of each conference plus 6 at large bids. Until that happens, there is no NCAA champion.
