    few quick corrections -
    the 2007 Texas UCF game was not in Austin, it was the Bounce House’s inaugural game
    the AAC was still an AQ conference in 2013, meaning 2013 UCF was technically not a BCS buster

    First of all great video. I saw this mentioned in reply to a r/CFB comment you made, so I checked your profile. Lo and behold I saw these two masterpieces. While I have heard from UCF fans about their journey, it's another thing to see it broken down like this. You can see how much the football team's journey is reminiscent of the university's journey at large. To say that Trevor Colbourn's gambit starting the program paid off is an understatement.. I'm a fellow Florida fan myself, hoping they don't win week 6 either (though I'm not counting on it lmao) and while I've been a part of the fanbase interaction that you mentioned (shit talk and all), can't help but be happy for the Knights making this journey as a fan of the sport. Count me in as a subscriber.

    Another few interesting things are that now UCF is rehiring Scott Frost, and that Heisman finalist Dillon Gabriel got his dominant start at UCF. But I still hold to the belief that Dillon Gabriel transferred out from UCF because he was not getting enough credit for his explosive quarterback record. In other words, he would likely not be a Heisman contender if he was still at UCF (look at RJ Harvey for an example of this).

Louisville and Rutgers were invited out of the Big East almost a year after UCF/Houston/SMU were invited in(but before they became official members). You probably could do a whole video on just the death and rebirth of the Big East.
      In 2013, the AAC was still an AQ BCS conference, not a mid-major.

      The Texas game was a complete mistake though, i caught it while editing but didn’t realize I said it was being played in Austin
