1. Don’t overlook Florida A&M

Let’s be honest, UCF is a 47.5-point favorite for a reason. The Knights are one of the top 20 teams in college football, and FAMU would need a miracle to pull off the upset.

If UCF shows up, it should win.

But UCF knows the name of the game, as do its fans, and winning is simply not good enough for the Knights. It’s well-documented how much the CFP committee looks at their schedule, and their conference, so they must win every game by a substantial margin if they want to compete for a national championship.

They may be favored by 47.5, but winning by 50 is a must to get this season off on the right foot, and help keep their playoff hopes alive.
