UMBC’s upset win over Virginia gave hope to underdogs everywhere, including one who still feels like they didn’t get their fair shot at the would-be champions.
UCF, who went undefeated in college football but were left out of the four-team playoff, used the Retrievers’ upset to make a point about expanded playoffs giving underdogs a chance.
Amazing what happens when an under “dog” gets a fair shot in an expanded playoff
Congrats on the history, @UMBCAthletics

Yes, it’s safe to say the Knights still would have liked their shot at Alabama, even if people are going to criticize them for their continued crowing. You’d have to say they’d probably have been given a better chance than UMBC would have been given against Virginia, though.
