The University of Central Florida advanced to No. 8 after defeating then-No. 19 Cincinnati in dominating fashion.
The Knights, fresh off a College GameDay visit and unanimous pick by the ESPN hosts, made quick work of the rising Cincinnati Bearcats 38-13 to become AAC East Division Champions.
Spectrum stadium recorded its second-largest crowd ever at 47,795 – nearly every fan stayed through the start of the first quarter and the gameday atmosphere was one of the best ever for UCF.
When the Knights were called to the national stage – an ABC primetime broadcast and College GameDay visit – they answered by shutting down the Cincinnati offense for three straight quarters and stomping the defense game in and game out.
