Ahhh, that same ol' adage for when an SEC teams loses, they just weren't motivated. Not that the other could have, you know, beat them.
Yes, I'm opposed to the idea that a team of 20 year olds play with the same fervor and edge in the game directly following a failure of all their season goals.  Silly me.


You know, it's funny.  The same crowd that groans when I share stat-happy posts and explain how these players aren't robots - that they have heart and guile and moxie and can rise to the occasion - those same people point and laugh at the suggestion that these kids don't approach every game with the same level of motivation.  As if they can't uninspired football when all of their goals are erased.


WHICH IS IT???

Which is why I specified 'motivated' initially.....
so, who should they have played and beat by 7?
ya didn't want them playing the top 4, so what matchup did you want to see to prove they just might be worthy?
Ohio St, Wisconsin, Penn St., Notre Dame, TCU????
I'm guessing none of them would have been motivated
the only teams that would have been motivated were the teams in the playoff

Does Georgia winning get us to a six or eight team playoff more quickly?

I’m that scenario there will be an uprising from somebody. It could be Ohio State and Oklahoma, left out as 1 loss conference champions, or it could be Bama, the “greatest team of the century.” The fury in either scenario will be nuclear compared to any politicking and scenarios since the CFP started.
Right on Hail.  You should never be able to lose your way in.  Especially if there is a 1 loss champ from the power 5.

so, what season goals did UCF have left in front of them?  just pride I would guess?
unfortunate that the Auburn program didn't have the same sense of pride

You have to love what Hurts is doing.  Stayed at his school.

Exactly.
Yet many of those teams knew they weren't going to be in the playoff their last game of the regular season.  Auburn was, except they lost.

Can’t beat a motivated team if playing you means they’re not motivated. 
Anyway, their good QB damn near got his leg torn off. I was hoping they’d lose becuase I wanted the mountain west game to be bigger. Oh well. 
Also, the Tua injury just gave the committee an out, dark as that is to say.

Yeesh, this is brutal.  UCF had an undefeated season and respect fueling them as motivation, obviously.

That's a great point, I agree.  It stinks, but it's true.
