If such a section should exist it should chronicle all matches UCF has had against in state competition. Both UCF and Miami never produced statements suggesting a rivalry exist. Between USF and UCF there are a multitude of statements from coaches and advertisements from the programs that suggested a rivalry existed. There is no such evidence during the Miami series and I suggest the section be deleted. Currently UCF has no active in state rival. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.181.82 ( talk) 03:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
---The article does not state the Miami series to be a rivalry. The term was used to describe an instate game which tends to be very popular games for the fan bases. The same article even goes to the extent to compare UCF to all instate games. Neither coach is quoted as recognizing this game as a rivalry. Both programs recognized the importance of the game however no rivalry exist between UCF and Miami. Any game against two teams in the state of Florida is considered a Sunshine State showdown.
The fact that USF will be playing Miami in 2009-13, is sourced and accurate information, and should not be deleted. It is relevant to the USF-UCF series, and should be left in this section, since the USF-UCF series ends in 08, and will most likely not be extened, due to USF signing a series with another state school. http://www.tbo.com/sports/bulls/MGBQX2WKD2F.html http://www.sptimes.com/2007/06/01/Sports/USF_adds_statement_se.shtml - 131.44.121.252 20:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I have a source (Tampa Tribune) that states the USF/UCF series is over after 2008, as far as USF is concerned. They do not plan on continuing the series. 67.11.216.245 03:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Aent,
I agree with you that the series may continue at some point in the future. I tried putting a compromise statement in the rivals section (rather than creating an edit war) that would be truthful and suitable to everyone, but it was deleted. It is "likely" that the series will end or at least take a break after 08. For how long is anyone's guess. It is also well known that UCF wants the series to continue more than USF does, otherwise USF would have continued series in 09, without saying it was likely to end. Also, I think it is a good assumption to say that although many students at USF enjoy the game, "officially" USF would rather create rivalry game with Miami. I don't think you can call a 2 year old series a rivalry game. Having said that, the game full well could become a rivalry game, so I tried to capture that in my edit, that would be suitable to all. I said it has elements of a rivalry. and that it may continue at some point, and that USF has signed with Miami, which may (or may not) affect the USF/UCF game. All of which is true. Rather than someone just deleting the entire post, I think it should be tweaked and/or discussed here before being deleted. Open for suggestions. Thanks. 66.69.108.194 03:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I think your edit is fine. The only thing I might add is that there is speculation that the series may continue in the future (as USF has stated they will continue to schedule in state schools), but no dates have as of yet been given. The reason I put the Miami series is because it might affect future series, but we don't know yet. USF may play both UCF and Miami some years. By the way this is 66.69.108.194, but I am using a different computer.
I see someone edited back that UCF and USF are rivals. I give up, and am not going to get into an edit war. If someone wants to call them rivals, go ahead I guess. I still fail to see how 2 years equals a rivalry, regardless of how many fans attended. Rivalries take time to develop. If you ask USF, they wouldn't necesarily call it a "rivalry", although it could become one at some point. In my opinion, it is overzealous fans putting POV spin into the article, rather than trying to create the best article. 67.11.216.245 04:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
The article from Orlando Sentinel [5] specifically states that UCF uses "an NCAA-approved formula that incorporates paid-for tickets, student tickets and a quantifier that measures the number of people who don't go through turnstiles, such as marching bands and team support staffs". UCF's attendance announcements didn't say "the number of people who went through the turnstiles at this game was X", they rather said "the attendance is X", which includes both people who go through the turnstile and those who do not, meaning obviously the attendance is going to be some percentage higher then the turnstile account. The NCAA has approved of what UCF does, and the same formula is used by many other NCAA football programs. Also let me take a moment to add that in the Citrus Bowl, students and those parked in select booster lots also did not go through the turnstiles either, which likely accounted for a large portion of the difference — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aent ( talk • contribs) 07:48, July 29, 2007 (UTC)

Is a column in the Orlando Sentinel [6] and a statement by their conference commissioner really enough to base a claim of a national championship? And is UCF actually going to claim it in their media guide and the like? — C.Fred ( talk) 21:33, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
It says claimed National Titles. Athletic director Danny White is already claiming the title and has said merchandise and promotional material will be created claiming the title. TheJayUNF ( talk) 05:17, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Not sure on how to put it in the infobox, but at the moment, I believe the best way to mention it is something like the current version (as I write this) "The Prince George Journal and the Dan Le Batard Show, though not official, have announced that they have declared UCF the National Champions."/"The Knights claim a national championship for the 2017 season, although this claim is not yet supported by any ranking organizations as the Knights were not invited to participate in the 2018 College Football Playoff, but it is supported by minor newspapers such as the Prince George Journal." That way, we are addressing the claim as well as the fact that it is not recognized by most sources. Elisfkc ( talk) 18:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Whether or not the claim is legitimate, the university is claiming it. Putting up a sign, holding a parade, and everything. Even ESPN is reporting it now. It's worth noting in my opinion, even if there's an asterisk stating the circumstances. Boycool † ( talk) 23:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
In a day and age when we actually have a playoff there is absolutely no possible claim to a nataionl title here. I don't care how biased the committee is perceived to be, we no longer select national titles solely on the AP or coaches or other various selectors. It is played on the field and no matter what teams claim titles in the past has no bearing on this at all. I don't care if there is a section on their season page discussing their "claim" to it, but it should not be in the infobox, no matter how it is listed. Bsuorangecrush ( talk) 03:21, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
As a UCF student and fan, I love this whole national championship idea. However, as someone who likes to keep Wikipedia as unbiased as possible, I do see where others take issue. To other UCF fans: If this was another group of five school (let's say FAU), would you still support their claim as national champions? To everyone else: If this was your own school claiming a national championship, would you still be against it (keep in mind, SB Nation has identified at least 23 national titles claimed by Power Five schools that are as debatable and ESPN is pointing this out as well). I can firmly answer the first question as yes, provided it followed what I am about to propose:
If the current situation stands as is (where the Prince George Journal and UCF are the only ones claiming it), it is allowed in both the infobox for the team (this article) and the season, with a note stating "This championship was declared by the Prince George Journal, which is not one the thirteen national championship selectors recognized by the NCAA record book." This note would obviously contain the citations.
If, however, one of the twelve selectors (the thirteenth is the Playoff, which obviously won't recognize it) does select UCF (the twelve being the AP poll, Billingsley Report, College Football Researchers Association, Colley, Congrove Computer, Dunkel System, FWAA-NFF Grantland Rice Super 16, Massey College Football Ratings, Sagarin Ratings, USA Today Coaches' Poll, and Peter Wolfe, see pages 109-110), then the note becomes "This championship was selected by [insert selector], one of the thirteen national championship selectors recognized by the NCAA record book."
This way, we are including the national championship claim either way, while pointing out to readers that it was not bestowed by consensus. How does this sound to everyone? -- Elisfkc ( talk) 17:28, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
National Championship shouldn't be mentioned at all. If so, it should be mentioned as a footnote. They are not recognized by any legitimate publication as National Champions. I don't even like them being called "self-claimed" or "self-awarded." It should only be mentioned as something dealing with the publicity of the their season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothymarcc ( talk • contribs) 01:36, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Peter Wolfe final ratings have been released. Alabama jumped to #1 with a 9.184 rating; UCF is second at 9.078. [9] — C.Fred ( talk) 20:22, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
@ C.Fred, Lizard the Wizard, TheJayUNF, Arxiloxos, Artimusruffwood, HuskerPower, Boycool42, Bsuorangecrush, EdwinCasadoBaez, and Timothymarcc:
I am pinging everyone who has so far been in this conversation because its decision time. This page and 2017 UCF Knights football team get unprotected in a little over three days from when I am writing this. We have numerous other articles that depend on the decision we come to right here about how to present this claim ( Scott Frost, University of Central Florida, Shaquem Griffin, and McKenzie Milton to name a few). The current version of the statement seems to be stable on this article, but that doesn't really work on all of the others, nor does it work in the infoboxes. Now, I made a proposal above on how to deal with this, which right now has a 4-1 vote for (counting myself as a vote for it). I'd like to either see votes from the six of you that have not voted on it yet, or another proposal that we can come to a better agreement on. If there is no other proposal by the time this page leaves protection and the one I proposed has more votes for than against, I'm saying that is our decision (since normally on Wikipedia, proposals have a window of 7 days to discuss and vote on, and that one will have been open for two weeks). Elisfkc ( talk) 17:05, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
The best way to avoid original research is to be simple and to-the-point. Just the facts. "UCF claims a national championship for the 2017 season, and the team was ranked number 1 by the Colley Matrix, an NCAA-recognized selector of national champions." Lizard ( talk) 14:49, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

RolltideTusk ( talk) 20:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
The "Head coaches" section has been updated with a citation for UCF's 11 head coaches. [10] It's a primary source and reflects the schools' view. The content also has been updated with an omitted callout for one interim coach.
A prolific WP:DE IP has repeatedly introduce copy edits around the sequence of coaching tenure and excluded interim coaches from these count. Ex, "George O'Leary was named UCF's new head coach" becomes "George O'Leary was named UCF's sixth head coach" where the existing is accurate and non-controversial, while the revised text conflicts with the schools' view and offers unsubstantiated edit summaries including "...interims aren't counted" [11]

The UCF Knights did not win the College Football National Championship for the season 2017, as wiki erroneously has it. They will not win the College Football National Championship for season 2018 as they are ranked 8th or 9th nationally, and, did not make the college football playoff.

Please note that this UCF wiki page is not fact but editorial and misrepresenting fact. It is essentially propaganda. Leeroy151 ( talk) 12:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Just because you say your the nation champions don’t make it so. Grow up. Alabama Crimson Tide is the National Champs of 2017. They earned their spot they did not just wake up and decide to claim it. Trickks13 ( talk) 03:47, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Again I read The articles associated with the claim they are the National Champions. I say Again that still does not make it so. You are actually disrespectful to the 2017 NCAA champs. I would Think the school would consider that before allowing the students to falsely elevate their status. So sad. Trickks13 ( talk) 01:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Definitely not an NCAA recognized national championship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RMiller88 ( talk • contribs) 22:39, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Also, wouldn't you want to get in your own States discussion of whether you're the best in the state or not before you want to pretend that you're a national champion??? I mean wouldn't you try to be the champion of your state at least before you go for the whole country? Seems pretty simple to me if you want to get in the game start playing Florida, Florida State, Miami. Then maybe if you act you beat one of them, you might be in the discussion RMiller88 ( talk) 06:30, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
It should say “the Knights claim a national championship” instead of “the Knights have a national championship” because the championship has not been popularly recognized outside of the fanbase. Draptr18 ( talk) 19:31, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

The "Head coaches" section has been updated with a citation for UCF's 11 head coaches. [10] It's a primary source and reflects the schools' view. The content also has been updated with an omitted callout for one interim coach.
A prolific WP:DE IP has repeatedly introduce copy edits around the sequence of coaching tenure and excluded interim coaches from these count. Ex, "George O'Leary was named UCF's new head coach" becomes "George O'Leary was named UCF's sixth head coach" where the existing is accurate and non-controversial, while the revised text conflicts with the schools' view and offers unsubstantiated edit summaries including "...interims aren't counted" [11]

The UCF Knights did not win the College Football National Championship for the season 2017, as wiki erroneously has it. They will not win the College Football National Championship for season 2018 as they are ranked 8th or 9th nationally, and, did not make the college football playoff.

Please note that this UCF wiki page is not fact but editorial and misrepresenting fact. It is essentially propaganda. Leeroy151 ( talk) 12:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Just because you say your the nation champions don’t make it so. Grow up. Alabama Crimson Tide is the National Champs of 2017. They earned their spot they did not just wake up and decide to claim it. Trickks13 ( talk) 03:47, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Again I read The articles associated with the claim they are the National Champions. I say Again that still does not make it so. You are actually disrespectful to the 2017 NCAA champs. I would Think the school would consider that before allowing the students to falsely elevate their status. So sad. Trickks13 ( talk) 01:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Definitely not an NCAA recognized national championship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RMiller88 ( talk • contribs) 22:39, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Also, wouldn't you want to get in your own States discussion of whether you're the best in the state or not before you want to pretend that you're a national champion??? I mean wouldn't you try to be the champion of your state at least before you go for the whole country? Seems pretty simple to me if you want to get in the game start playing Florida, Florida State, Miami. Then maybe if you act you beat one of them, you might be in the discussion RMiller88 ( talk) 06:30, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
It should say “the Knights claim a national championship” instead of “the Knights have a national championship” because the championship has not been popularly recognized outside of the fanbase. Draptr18 ( talk) 19:31, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

One option is moving some of the History section to History of UCF Knights football, as seen in Category:History of college football by team. Other options include addressing non-standard sections and those with sourcing issues. UW Dawgs ( talk) 18:31, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
