The undefeated University of Central Florida earned a spot on New Year’s Day in the 50th Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl after defeating Memphis in the American Athletic Conference Championship. Auburn fell out of the College Football Playoff projections after losing to Georgia 28-7 in the SEC Championship on Saturday; the Tigers rose through the ranks after battling Alabama, ending their perfect game streak.
UCF faced Memphis at Spectrum Stadium in the AAC Championship in a double-overtime shootout. The matchup became the highest-scoring conference championship game in NCAA FBC history and totaled over 1400 yards for the No. 1 and No. 2 highest scoring offenses in the country.
