The Knighted Ones #114: UCF Says NO, Playoff Madness, NIL vs Bowls, Big 12 Snubbed & Hoops Is Cookin

This week we dive into the biggest stories in UCF Football, the College Football Playoff, and the Big 12. Why UCF said no to a bowl game, how NIL is killing bowl season, Frost turning down $1M, Notre Dame vs. Miami playoff drama, and why the Big 12 got snubbed again. We compare BCS vs CFP, debate the 16-team playoff, and break down how this changes college football going forward.

We also cover major UCF News — new O-line coach, transfer portal moves, John Walker updates, NIL/revshare projections, UCF board meeting decisions, TDT funding changes, and facility/tower upgrades.

Then we shift to UCF Basketball: Johnny Dawkins’ best start ever, Towson recap, Chris Johnson’s importance, Fulks' breakout, rebounding strategy, scoring PG needs, #Big12Basketball strength, RPI breakdowns, and why the Knights are trending up.

Plus: UCF Baseball schedule, listener questions, transfers, coaching impact in hoops, and Josh’s “Sometimes Funny” Fact of the Week.
