UCF is ranked No. 16 in the BCS poll following their win against USF on Friday at Brighthouse Networks Stadium. The Knights are ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll and No. 17 in the Coaches poll.
The Knights moved up three spots from last week, and are sitting behind undefeated Northern Illinois and LSU in the standings.
UCF can secure a trip to a BCS bowl on Thursday if Louisville beats Cincinnati, or if Louisville loses to Cincinnati, the Knights can still secure the BCS-berth with a win against SMU on Saturday.
If Louisville loses to Cincinnati and the Knights lose to SMU, it would depend on the polls as to which of the two teams would go to the BCS-game.
