It’s the highest ranking ever for UCF, six spots ahead of last year at this same time, and is also the highest ranking for a non-power conference team in the CFP’s relatively short history.
An impressive showing on national television in prime time on Saturday against Cincinnati no doubt had at least some effect on the voters.
