Alabama's Damien Harris Mocks UCF's National Championship Claim
Although not official national champions, the UCF Knights celebrated their perfect season at Sunday's NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
The school's Twitter page—named "2017 National Champions"—posted some highlights from UCF's latest victory lap on Twitter.
The pictures of the Knights' national champions shirts caught the attention of Alabama running back Damien Harris, who noted an important item missing from their celebration.
UCF, of course, never got an opportunity to compete for said trophy. Despite going 12-0 in the regular season, it settled for a No. 12 ranking from the College Football Playoff selection committee and a Peach Bowl appearance.
The Knights earned a 34-27 victory over Auburn, who bested Alabama and its national championship game opponent, Georgia, during the 2017 season.
An unblemished record (and the transitive property) gives UCF a legitimate gripe, but the American Athletic Conference squad won too many games over inferior competition before topping the Tigers. Crimson Tide defensive end Isaiah D. Buggs offered an easy solution to the dispute.
The self-proclaimed champions can continue to celebrate accordingly, but Alabama still holds the hardware.
