The UCF Knights took care of business against Navy on Saturday, improving to 9-0 on the season. Now, the Knights will host No. 24 Cincinnati this weekend, and College GameDay will be in Orlando.

In this week’s College Football Playoff rankings, which were released on Tuesday night, UCF moved up from No. 12 to No. 11, but are still well outside of striking distance of the final four.

On a conference call on Tuesday night, CFP chair Rob Mullens discussed what the committee talked about regarding the Knights this week:

Q: I want to ask, what was the discussion like this week when talking about UCF?
“Similar to past weeks. Obviously we saw their game against Navy and the win, but obviously offense continued to perform. McKenzie Milton is a special talent, but strength of schedule continues to be part of the discussion for the committee, and that’s why they moved up to No. 11.”

A win over Cincinnati, coupled with a loss or two from teams inside the current top 10, may help the Knights move even higher.

For now, though, they’ll have to settle for being the highest-ranked non-Power 5 team ever in the CFP rankings.
