Can we just get an Alabama vs. UCF matchup at some point?
Everyone has an opinion on UCF claiming a national championship following its undefeated and Peach Bowl-winning season in 2017. The Knights brand has been everywhere since January, and UCF AD Danny White claims that the national exposure was worth $200 million.
Earlier Sunday, Greg Byrne, the AD of the actual national champion Alabama, trolled UCF after the women’s basketball team beat the Knights 80-61.
Great win today over UCF for @AlabamaWBB! We're not ready to make it more than it was and schedule a Disney Parade…but we'll definitely take it. #RollTide pic.twitter.com/LyjvFKbmoO

UCF AD Danny White then responded to Byrne, still claiming a national championship:
Our policy has been to schedule Disney parades when we win New Year’s Day bowl games. We’ve won 2 in the last 5 years. The most recent in 2017 when we were the only undefeated team in America, & National Champions. If y’all wanna have a parade for WNIT wins – more power to ya! https://t.co/pgFLN8mqj9
