Championship Game

UCF over Memphis (Memphis has tie-breaker over Houston via H2H)

Notes

For the third straight year the Championship game is UCF v Memphis. For the third straight year UCF beats Memphis in the championship game and goes to a NY6 bowl.

UCF continues their run of dominance through the AAC. However with a tougher schedule this year they likely stumble 1-2 times. If UCF is able to run the table this year with Pitt and Stanford having good seasons, this could be a year when they are able to get into the playoffs. 13-0 Conference Champs with 2 wins over top 25 Power 5 teams is a pretty solid resume.

UCF finishes in top 25. No other team gets votes for top 25. 6 bowl teams.
