This week in UCF talk

The shows spent the week building UCF as an upset play against No. 2 BYU, pointing to the Cougars' brutal scheduling spot after beating Notre Dame and having to travel cross country to face a rested team at home. UCF pulled off the stunning win in double overtime with a chaotic finish involving officiating questions, and the talk since has centered on BYU's vulnerabilities and the wide-open Big 12 race. Now the shows are eyeing another letdown spot for UCF against Baylor on Friday night.
