It just amazes me a team that recruits no better than they do can play at a high level. ...
Playing at a high level has a lot to do with coaching. Also,l while recruiting rankings aren't particularly high for UCF, it isn't as if they are Memphis or Cincinnati, or East Carolina. The school is the largest (enrollment) of any university in the US, is in a popular location, and is in a state that easily produces more top-level recruits out of high school than all otherstates except Texas, which is about the same as Florida in that respect. Further, while the Knkights do have a good team, their schedule is hardly as daunting as some in a P5 Conference. Impressive, but not exactly perplexing from my perspective.
