You’d have to be an awful person to not be loving the fact UCF refuses to relent that they’re the national champions of college football.

UCF has been blowing up social media, changed their Twitter name to “2017 National Champions,” they’re hanging banners, paying coaches bonuses and embracing the fact they were the only team in America to go undefeated.

How can you not be loving this? UCF was left out of the playoffs, despite being undefeated. They responded by beating Auburn. It’s so funny to watch, and just as funny to listen to people complain.

Guess what? UCF didn’t lose a game all year, and beat a team that Georgia and Alabama both lost to. I’d be rubbing it in too if I was on UCF’s roster. Why wouldn’t you celebrate in big style?

So, I’m more than willing to call them national champs. After all, they were the only team in all of America to not lose a game. That has to mean something, right?
