I now look forward to their 15 minutes (give or take) ending with a spectacular crash & burn. Couldn't happen to a more deserving program at this point.

Eh, your school gave itself a pretend National Championship. Half the SEC has too. It's part of college football. Alabama still claims one from the 40's when they had 2 losses and were ranked 20th. And the 1973 one even though they lost the Sugar Bowl. USC claims a title the year they weren't eligible for the BCS (which is similar to what UCF is doing).

College football has always been a beauty contest with schools giving themselves make believe accomplishments. I don't see this as any more embarrassing than those.
