Wow! UCF is showing college football they can compete with anyone. I have no idea how we played them so close. Yes, I know the weather sucked and they had already clinched a BCS spot but if Gilbert doesn't get hurt, I think we win that game.

That Baylor TD drive looked more like a typical Baylor drive

We played them close so we should play Baylor close, right?

It did but that UCF D coordinator has done a great job of slowing them down. Win or lose, UCF has earned a lot of respect with this game. They were a 17 point dog.

there is a reason the "team from the conference that doesn't deserve to be there" has won what 6 out of 8 (if UCF holds) of these games. Other than the Hawaii and NIU games, some of the biggest upsets in bowl history. A high percentage of Bowl games are won by the team that wants to be there

I had no idea the Big East/AAC will be 9-7 in BCS games if UCF holds on. That's how you get respect

We held UCF to 17 we should be able to hold Baylor enough to give them a game since UCF is doing it.

Might have made some sense this year had we not chickened out of the game but has no bearing whatsoever on next year's game. The score will be something like 70-13.

Tip of the hat to UCF. They played a heck of a game.

Maybe UCF will be one of the two conference teams we miss next year so no one will have to worry about those big meanies beating us again.

Totally disagree. No more excuses. UCF did and we played them close with Burcham no having much experience.

I've always found the only way to upset a team is to actually go ahead and play them-especially at home
