Good for them. I have no problem with this.

Except the rings say national champions and they simply aren't national champions. They knew the rules coming in. Why not do the same rings with "undefeated" on one side and "season" on the other.
The current rules denied them the opportunity to play for one. I applaud this.
Well not exactly. Under the current rules they didn't qualify to play for the national championship. Similar to St. Mary's not being in the basketball tournament this year. By the current selection criteria they weren't allowed to play. Unfair, but a pretty big leap to say they are the National champions.
UCF finished the season ranked #1 in the Colley Matrix rankings, which is a former ranking used in the BSC calculation. This in some ways does validate their championship claim, at least no differently than many other claimed "national championships" by other schools over the years...
It is another part of the alternative truth time we live in. Say something enough times and people will believe it. George Orwell was about 30 years off.
That ring has about as much valuable diamonds as a stone cutting blade. The players should be embarrassed to wear it.

This is a tough one, but I say good for them. They were undefeated and beat multiple ranked teams. Screw the NCAA & the playoff rules, UCF has the right to declare themselves champions.
No they don’t! Life isn’t always fair and you just can’t make stuff up because you want to do it.

UCF was undefeated. They beat everyone they faced, including Auburn. Alabama lost one game, that being to Auburn. Since Alabama and UCF didn't meet head to head, the common tie-breaking procedure is to compare records against common opponents. UCF wins that tie-breaker. They have every right to claim championship status over Alabama.
Women didn't qualify to vote until 1920.Well not exactly. Under the current rules they didn't qualify to play for the national championship.

100%. They did everything they could do. Let group of 5 have their own playoff or expand playoff to 8 and give power 5 automatic plus group of 5 automatic and 2 wildcards.
They have a game for that, it’s called the FCS championship.
The players and the coaches all knew that it was nearly impossible for their school to qualify for the BCS games when they signed up. Sorry, no cigar....
You really are an idiot. Group of five schools are FBS not FCS
