You say that in one breath, and refuse to schedule top G5 teams in the next. Which is it, it can’t be both. Pick up the phone when they call the B1G, I know that you won’t.

you're allergic to facts aren't you?
UCF games vs power 5 teams since 2010:
2010: NC State (loss), Kansas State (loss), Georgia (bowl, win)
2011: Boston College (win)
2012: Ohio State (loss), Missouri (loss)
2013: Penn State (win), South Carolina (loss), Louisville (win), Baylor (bowl, win)
2014: Penn State (loss), Missouri (loss), NC State (bowl, loss)
2015: Stanford (loss), South Carolina (loss)
2016: Michigan (loss), Maryland (loss)
2017: Maryland (win), Georgia Tech (cancelled), Auburn (bowl, win)
2018: UNC (cancelled), Pittsburgh (win)
overall record vs P5 teams since 2010: 8-12
you've got very strong programs on those schedules like Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Stanford, South Carolina. As well as other decent P5 teams like Missouri, Louisville, Kansas State. You can't sit here and argue that P5 teams are afraid to schedule UCF because it's blatantly not true. It is a bad argument because the FACTS show otherwise.
This year, UCF's bottom of the barrel schedule does not qualify them for the CFP ahead of the teams currently ranked to get in. If you want to be in the CFP, you need to schedule AND BEAT other quality teams, which is what Alabama, Clemson, ND, Michigan, and Georgia have done. Ohio St, Washington St, and Oklahoma almost certainly have a better claim as well. The selection committee will not reward teams for scraping by and playing a slate of extremely mediocre opponents, else it would discourage anybody from setting a decent non-conference schedule. UCF simply does not qualify this year when there are other much more qualified teams out there.
