UCF will go bowling. The resources and geographical advantages are too great. Last year was an anomaly and the common denominator is no longer in the equation.
Plus, the historical pattern suggests UCF will win big.
2004... 0-11
2005... 8-5, Division Title, Championship Game, Bowl Game
I've also noticed CSF was very cautious in his earlier post-practice reports when he would tell reporters we were practicing well but still had a long way to go and needed to adjust to the speed of his style.
In his last few interviews, however, he's had swagger and confidence in his voice as he talks about how well our team has been doing and how well they've adapted to the speed of the Oregon offense. Not to mention our offense scored 50 points in just two quarters during their last game simulation. Given, that was against the defensive 2s but when you consider it was only in two quarters, that's pretty impressive.
Unfortunately for UCF, the 2016 AAC lineup is much, much better than our 2005 C-USA schedule. So while 8-5 would be amazing, I see us more in the 6-7 win range.
