The second College Football Playoff rankings came out on Tuesday night, and the undefeated UCF Knights remained at No. 12.
All the Knights do is keep winning, even if it isn’t pretty at times, but they can’t gain any traction with the Playoff committee.
This week, the Knights were behind a two-loss Kentucky team, and that was something fans of UCF wasn’t happy about at all.
As you can see below, there were a lot of questions and insults being hurled at the Selection Committee on Twitter:
L O L @ the committee still having UCF #12. But please tell me why the G5 has a chance.

#UCF stays at 12. They decided to keep Kentucky ahead of them at 11. That would be your Fiesta Bowl matchup. Reaction on @UCF_Banneret podcast this week. pic.twitter.com/TLAOWFYMHW

The only chance the Knights have at making the Playoff is if Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame remain undefeated at every other contender has two losses. However, with two two-loss teams ahead of UCF in the rankings right now, UCF fans must feel like it’s a hopeless battle they’re fighting.
