We got a bunch of T-shirts we could sell em at a discount....just change that 40 to a 12 and some dye for the shirts.
In a little more serious.....great accomplishment.Make a banner saying 'The Undefeated' and have a party.
Don't care what you're team is. That undefeated thing don't roll around much.

This is really going beyond whining about being left out. I recall Tulane going undefeated in 1998. After their bowl, they were like "well, it doesn't seem fair, but the system is what it is." That was it.

IIRC neither Auburn in 2004 or TCU in 2010 resorted to this behavior despite finishing their seasons undefeated, including their bowl games.. IMO if you have to resort to hanging a NC banner on your own means you haven't gotten there yet.

If we were in their shoes, we would feel the same way. Kudos to them for celebrating, they are undefeated and just beat the team that beat both Alabama a Georgia.

If we were in their shoes, we'd still be in the American.

No thanks.

Changing topic a bit but this is the reason why when the NCAA vacates our banner . We (U of L) need not pay any credence to their unfair ruling. Give the middle finger and keep the banner and all other championship material displayed.

My 80-86-13 banner stays where it is. Middle finger at the ready, as always.
You and RFF are 100% correct!

The problem is that the participants in their rinky-dink 4 team playoffs are chosen with OPINIONS. UCFs opinion is as good as any. Until objective criteria are used to determine playoff participants, this is perfectly legitimate.

Auburn had National Championship rings made up so that's false.

I think some 0-12 team should declare themselves the national champion, throw a parade, and hang a banner. That would be awesome.
