Treb, you know this is only fun conversation. I think no way could UCF stand up to the full grind of a top tier schedule, but even though thier opponents fell back, most of UCF's games were top 20 match ups at the time. They made the most of their opportunities, where all the rest didn't.
Let's not get too worried about Alabama playing a freshman now and then. They looked like a junior college in the first half, then a true freshman came in and won them a championship, all in the second half. Most division one teams would sell a kidney for Alabama's recruiting class or bench.
