UCF national champs? Florida lawmakers could declare it so

<snip>

"Florida lawmakers are being asked to do something the College Football Playoff Committee won’t: Declare the UCF Knights national champions.

Kevin Cate, a Democratic consultant and Auburn University graduate, tweeted this week that the Legislature should consider a resolution proclaiming UCF the nation’s best football team after it knocked off Auburn 34-27 in the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Day."

"They’re undefeated, and they beat a team that beat both of the teams in the national championship game, in my Auburn Tigers,” Cate said Wednesday. “It may be symbolic in nature, but the players, coaches and school deserve it. … I think anyone who was watching that Auburn game — even if you’re an Auburn fan like me — if you didn’t get the chills watching that, I can’t help you.”

"Soon after Monday’s game ended, UCF declared itself national champions. Athletic Director Danny White told ESPN the school was planning a parade and tweeted it would raise a banner signifying a national championship in Spectrum Stadium."

If you take the position that only a team from the SEC, Big 10, Pac 12, ACC, or Big 12 can win a national championship, then that negates every single game played by everyone else.
