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

Welcome to The Knighted One’s Podcast, Episode number 114! We are the ONLY podcast that features a former UCF National Champion, a former UCF radio host, an ESPN Analyst and Hoops Player, a INfamous rapper, Our Resident Influencer, and an IG star, shooting the breeze, talking UCF Sports. Remember to like and follow us Youtube, IG, and check out the 70+ teams and conferences on the College Huddle.

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.
