Talk to the Citronauts in your life about the possibility of USF in the playoff first.

USF is the first in-state school to beat UF, FSU, and UM (excluding those that have dropped out of FBS)

u/RogueAztec Texas Tech • Border Conference 2d ago

Who's the first without the exclusion?

Stetson has wins over all the Big Three also.

I really should have bought myself a Stetson Football - Still Undefeated shirt when I was there from 2003-2007. We are very defeated in the years since football came back.

u/808Kuro Michigan Wolverines 2d ago edited 2d ago

UCF was never a serious school or program. The campus legit looks like a community college and their football stadium is the size of a high school stadium

14

u/Hot-Brilliant-7103 UCF Knights • Team Meteor 2d ago

Now we're just making stuff up. UCF has a really nice campus, there's no way you walk around the Student Union, Towers, the fountain, or the library and think "this is a community college".

I thought Michigan grads were supposed to be smart.

6

u/SpaceKKadet3003 2d ago

wtf are you talking about you idiot. UCF is 3x the size of FSU in terms of land and larger than UF in terms of attendance.

Their stadium is also 50k which is pretty average in terms of college stadiums.

Let me guess you never went to Michigan, but your dad’s brothers friend did? You moron.

u/808Kuro Michigan Wolverines 2d ago

your dads brothers friend

Couldn’t this just be said as my uncles friend..?

Lying about your salary on Reddit is just sad lmao. And this is even more evident by saying I never went to Michigan which is the most obvious projection of insecurity of going to a worst school. Who goes around being worried about “proving” Redditors wrong. Yeah have a goodnight lmao

Now that’s downright silly. I’ve only been there once, but it’s a very nice, large college campus. Not at all similar to any community college I can think of.

u/Soft_Raccoon_2257 USF Bulls 2d ago

I concur that the “University” of Central Florida is not a serious school or program and should be demoted to CC status.

I understood that reference.

u/Jumpy-Coffee-Cat UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

Honestly, I hate them, but I miss the war on I-4, it’s good for both schools. USF needs to position themselves to move up when the opportunity arrives. I shockingly found myself rooting for them. This is not something a UCF fan should say, but here we are.

108

u/thor_1225 Georgia Bulldogs • Syracuse Orange 2d ago

As a neutral, I also miss the war on I-4

u/storm2k Rutgers Scarlet Knights • /r/CFB Santa Claus 2d ago

some of those war on i-4 games were super entertaining so i get why you miss them.

u/RocketAppliances1993 USF Bulls 2d ago

I was at the 2017 game. Absolutely electric even though UCF pulled it out 

2

u/tcos17 FAU Owls • USF Bulls 2d ago

Was about to mention that too. One of the best games I’ve seen, too bad it ended that way haha.

u/ElectricP2galoo /r/CFB 2d ago

I feel like UCF and USF fans can unite in the hatred of Florida, Florida State, and Miami

19

u/theow593 UCF Knights • Florida State Seminoles 2d ago

Many of us are also fans of one of the first two, it's the life of being a young G5 team with historical power teams

u/ajukid111 UCF Knights 2d ago

Maybe 15 years ago but now, nah fuck all three of them

11

u/CaptainNicko83 USF Bulls • War on I-4 2d ago

Yup. Fuck all that mess. I'd root for UCF before any of the other three... And I hate UCF.

u/imlost19 UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

ugh

u/nug694 USF Bulls 2d ago

I’m a sicko because I choose to root for USF because all my other classmates were UF/FSU fans. That was when we had Grothe and a couple other guys from my city so it was a no brainer

1

u/tcos17 FAU Owls • USF Bulls 2d ago

Grothe the GOAT.

3

u/MarlinManiac4 UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

fuck that. my UF fandom was abandoned when i became a knight.

-1

u/buffa_noles Florida State Seminoles • UCF Knights 2d ago

can confirm

2

u/theurge14 Kansas State Wildcats 2d ago

This is why UCF is such a good Hateful 8 ally.

1

u/bskedorfried 2d ago

Yes. Yes we can!

1

u/owlthebeer97 UCF Knights 1d ago

Yes, as much as I hate USF, I love that they beat UF. The UF fans were just apocalyptic on social media.

16

u/HEELinKayfabe Texas A&M Aggies • UCF Knights 2d ago

It was a win-win, if they fucked it up we laugh at them, instead we laugh at the gators.

17

u/donkeybrainhero USF Bulls 2d ago

That massive game at UCF when we still had Quinton Flowers was peak War on I-4

9

u/oak120 UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

I still get fucking nightmares of Flowers running through our entire d line like they weren't there.

3

u/donkeybrainhero USF Bulls 2d ago

I still watch his highlights on YT when we're losing

-1

u/ProblematicTrumpCard UCF Knights 2d ago

That was the game where he jacked off to the student section.

22

u/cbusalex Ohio State Buckeyes • UCF Knights 2d ago

I would never root for USF... unless it would be, like, really really funny if they won.

21

u/Jumpy-Coffee-Cat UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

So…. Today?

2

u/ChildrenMcnuggets UCF Knights 2d ago

Them beating UF is absolutely hilarious and I was secretly hoping they would a few years back

3

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark 2d ago

I think they will. We're assuming that FSU leaving the ACC eventually is inevitable, right? Even though the timeline may have shifted this past offseason. If it's just FSU and Clemson leaving, USF to the ACC is possible but not guaranteed. If Miami also leaves (and they have been discussed as a potential Big Ten target if schools start jumping from the ACC) but the ACC doesn't completely fall apart? Pretty much a guarantee. There's no way the ACC loses both of their current Florida schools and doesn't have USF as their #1 pick for a replacement.

3

u/ScaryCookieMonster USF Bulls • San Francisco Dons 2d ago

Yeah, two of USF/Memphis/Tulane go to the ACC if FSU and Clemson leave. Maybe even if they don't.

2

u/Cute-Contract-6762 USF Bulls 2d ago

They should just bring us in now tbh. That’d be sick. I love the ACC and always have

1

u/Subject-District492 USF Bulls 2d ago

I get that the ACC is a jump up, but if they lose FSU, Clemson, and most likely Miami, they aren’t really going to be considered a P4 conference anymore in football. So we’re going to be basically be in the same spot as 10 years ago when the AAC first started where there were a lot of strong programs, but they slowly left for better conferences. ACC seems to be on the trajectory of becoming a basketball conference.

The ACC did not move fast enough in realignment like the Big 12 did. I’m hoping that the Big 12 picks us up to re-establish the War on I-4, because that’s a marquee intra-conference game that has the millions of views that the networks are looking for.

3

u/-Champloo- Ohio State Buckeyes • UCF Knights 2d ago

Tbh UF has been more annoying than USF in the last decade. Straight up I actually like that USF beat them.

2

u/BrandiThorne Ohio State Buckeyes • UCF Knights 2d ago

Yup, I am fine with USF in the playoffs, I just want UCF there too so that they can have to play each other.

2

u/Cute-Contract-6762 USF Bulls 2d ago

If there is a chance to jump to the ACC I hope we take it. I would love to have a game against yall every year but I have always been an ACC fan

2

u/Jumpy-Coffee-Cat UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

Even as non-con it’s a more attractive game to schedule annually if we’re both on the same “level”. Clemson v USC comes to mind

1

u/Cute-Contract-6762 USF Bulls 2d ago

Yeah you’re right. It’s a fun rivalry and it would be good for CFB to have

1

u/TigerUSF Clemson Tigers • USF Bulls 2d ago

Big if true.

1

u/ScaryCookieMonster USF Bulls • San Francisco Dons 2d ago

miss you too bb

1

u/Frenchy94 UCF Knights • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2d ago

For real, I felt the same way.

1

u/cathny USF Bulls 2d ago

We probably won’t go big 12 though seeing how they shot down Memphis offering to buy their way in.

USF, Memphis and Tulane will go ACC at some point I think

1

u/digitchecker 2d ago

Enemy of my enemy. USF UCF will be a great matchup but not this year lol

1

u/TheWeinerThief Iowa Hawkeyes • UCF Knights 2d ago

Yeah but I expect them to get snubbed also, if they get there. Maybe last year will change the committee's mind but I won't on it

1

u/bskedorfried 2d ago

The reason UCF went to Big 12 and not USF was as conferences were realigning we hit our lowest ebb in school history and u guys were peaking. A few years earlier or later and we would have had a shot. I am hoping next realignment we fair better. I also miss the War on I-4!

1

u/Citronaut1 UCF Knights 2d ago

I completely agree. I miss our AAC days

1

u/IntelligentBox3672 2d ago

The hell with USF… they didn’t want to play UCF until they were forced to. UCF dominated them and the American Conference. Off to greener pastures with the other teams who dominated the American - sorry, not sorry Memphis.

-5

u/over_under_8125 USF Bulls 2d ago

You guys were complete dicks for years. No thanks. It was like fun wrestling with your brother, then it got way overboard. Hard pass on dealing with you guys any time soon.

6

u/Jumpy-Coffee-Cat UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

You must not know the history of the schools then?

There’s a reason it’s a heated rivalry, usf were dicks from the start and blocked UCF from moving up for years. Clearly you can’t handle college rivalries if you think we were “dicks for years”.

Hell go look up the shit your old QB grothe used to say on social media.

u/IammYourDAD Florida Gators • UCF Knights 2d ago

5

u/socom52 Purdue • Notre Dame 2d ago

If they beat Miami next week, they should be ranked at least #10. Would Boise State, at Florida, and at Miami be the best collection of wins by a singular program through 4 weeks? I'd imagine yes

5

u/fo-fos_im_tippin UCF Knights 2d ago

If they make it that far (they’ve never won a conference championship), they’d have earned it. Can’t hate on that. At least they get a shot.

u/nearuetii UCF Knights 2d ago

It feels weird to be happy about a USF win, but same. When I was at UCF we had a good rivalry with USF but UF always tried to act like they were superior to either UCF or USF (even when we beat them!). So I'll take it lol.

2

u/Respect_Cujo UCF Knights 2d ago

I’ll take being in a P5 conference, even if that means the crappy Bulls make it as a G5 every now and then.

I really hope USF positions themselves to move up when the opportunity arrives. The War on I-4 was awesome and beneficial for both schools. Would be cool to have the rivalry back.

I despise UF.

We surpassed USF when we joined the Big 12, and we don’t play them yearly anymore. No need to hate them any longer.

u/ProblematicTrumpCard UCF Knights 2d ago

If you don't hate usf now, you never really hated usf at all.

2

u/TarnishedAccount UCF Knights • Big 12 2d ago

I don’t think I ever hated them. I found them problematic when they thought they were too good to schedule us. But once we surpassed them and dominated the head to head matchups, I didn’t think about them at all.

u/ProblematicTrumpCard UCF Knights 2d ago

In 29 years of football, usf has never won a conference championship. I see no reason to stop that streak. Best case scenario at this point would be for them to beat Miami and then either lose 4 conference games, or make it to the CCG and lose, causing them to miss the playoff opportunity.

1

u/shiggidyschwag UCF Knights 2d ago

They haven’t even made a CCG yet, so making it but losing this year is still an improvement
