WKU at MTSU
WKU is 1-7, but 4 of their losses have been by a FG. Kind of ridiculous to say they are better than their record, because they can't be much worse than it. But...they are better than their record.
Every team would be better and win more if they had better recruits. Who knows Tech might be in the running for a conference title if we only had a D1 QB. But this UCF team would lose 5+ games in every P5 conference IMO. Now I agree if they had different players things would turn out differently, now way to predict how many wins or losses they would have with these imaginary players. I think you are absolutely correct in your theory that better players equal more wins and that P5 teams generally have better players.
UCF reminds me of our 2011 and 2012 team except they are much better coached. They are not a top 10 team IMO.

Go Roadrunners! Shock the world!
Other:
UGA at Kentucky (Go Wildcats! they are 8.5 pt dogs on their homefield, no respect. Show 'em!)
Bama at LSU (Roll Tide!) LSU is a 14.5 pt dog on their homefield
Notre Dame at Northwestern (Upset alert! Irish better bring their "A" game or their playoff run is over)
Oklahoma at Tex Tech (Sooners carrying the BIG 12 playoff banner)
Wow! they ejected Devon White for that!? Those refs, that replay moron, should be immediately terminated. It shouldn't even have been roughing the passer. It should have been, "you are supposed to be big bad football players, act like it. Play on." This has gotten beyond ridiculous.
Nebraska-#10 Ohio State going on right now, 7:00 minutes left in the third quarter, Nebraska 21-Ohio State 16. Nebraska playing aggressive defense, no prevent, they are hunting the ball and QB every play, playing to win.
Whatley started at QB for USM.
Open drive went 7:35 but only got 3 points.
A&M about to choke one away to Auburn. Aweful QB play from Mond.
It was awful. A&M should have won that game going away.
Marshall FG ties it up 3-3 in Hattiesburg on what was but should not have been the last play of the 1st quarter.
Stadium is showing the actual game and play clocks, and both operators are asleep at the switch. Game clock kept running to zero when Marshall's FG attempt started with 8 seconds left. And the play clock is typically about 3-5 seconds late to start running at 40.
