But let them disrespect us, American schools. We are an Non-power conference NCAA legislation-wise. We are also indeed the biggest have-nots in College Athletics. But don't let that discourage us, Americans. We are just getting started.

In early American expansion in the 18,19th century. America was the land of opportunity. European settlers came with an ignition of hope, Good Life and Freedom. Most of them did not have anything. They were the have nots. But they didn't get discouraged. They came here with a work ethic and hard work. Cities, towns and farms were built. Railroads were set. Men would take care farming and work outside of the house and women would do chores at home and nurture the children. What they've got is what they've earned.

The upward trajectory. Great people are not satisfied with status quo. The best ones are always challenging the system. Companies are not built to be like themselves from day one. It takes progress and hard work. Sometimes a little luck.

Apple was founded in a garage. Microsoft's funder Bill Gates was a college drop out. Walmart came from a small town Arkansas. Michael Jordan did not even make the the Varsity team. And America started with a ship named May Flower.

Isn't that us, American Conference in a nut shell? We are having the time of our lives just like them. And that is why I am so high on American Conference. We are the American!

Wait a second, who is American then?

It is you and it is me. We may came from different directions, but we are all in this together. All of us are American in our own ways. We are in this mission* and we dare to dream.

*(Sports are a platform and it voices our values and ideas. We are young. American Conference is young. All the schools may look different and we may not be the best universities like Harvard or Yale. We may not be like Alabama or LSU in football. Duke, North Carolina in Basketball. But as a Unity, we have a future to promise. That is right, FUTURE. We are a group of men who are going to fight, not just UCF, USF, Houston alone, but all together. We are making our own legacies, not following the ones before us. We challenge the system and we are always beating the status quo. )

Why is your school American? What is so American about your school? Comment and share.

At the end, thank you Lord! You are the reason why...

You lost me here...

And yes, UCF would have beat both Bama and Georgia. Maybe not at the same time.


I am laughing very hard. Bama’s defense made the greatest RB duo in college football history look less than average. You really think UCF could do better. Puh-leez.

As for UGA. LOL. I laughed for an hour when they lost. GSU an nowhere else.

Why does everyone think it sounds smart and logical to say "go play a tougher schedule"?

You really haven't thought that one through son. Go back and try again.

The reason UCF was not in the playoff was your strength of schedule. Schedule harder teams for your 4 Out of conference games. 07-coffee3

We had a strength of schedule around Alabama. They didn't even win their division of their conference. Ended up #1 in some computer polls that are unbiased.

As a side note, we brought more fans to Atlanta than Ga State brings all season to home games. 04-cheers

Correct. We did not hang up championship banners or make grandiose claims in either of those years. Sorry for the confusion.

We were ranked #1 by a poll used by the BCS.
