UCF Obviously must win it’s last two games. This Saturday the Knights take on Tulane at home. Next week they travel to UAB. The other games that must go our way are this week Southern Miss must lose to Tulsa and East Carolina must lose to UAB. Tulsa didn’t help us out last week. In fact they didn’t put up much of a fight at all. After the heartbreaker to Houston, they may be throwing in the towel.
If those games go our way this week, then we need in addition to winning against UAB, we need Southern Miss to beat East Carolina. If those five games go our way then the Gators won’t be the only Florida team playing for a conference title in two weeks. If I was In Vegas I would bet $50 on us to win the East, just because the odds would be steep. I would not bet $1000 because whatever you bet on us, you’re throwing your money away. But a slim chance is better than none. As long as we do our part and win the last two games, I won’t complain.

Speaking of betting on college teams (which itself is unethical but does happen) — I know several folks who regularly bet on NCAA basketball & football. They’re old curmudgeons, and they have no love for any specific team except the one that can win them money. Last weekend, they put their money on UCF because they could recognize a good lopsided bet where the payout was worth the chance. Needless to say, they came out BIG. I’ll have to ask them what they think about ECU and Southern Miss.
