UCF: 1 More Knight

After the Baylor blowout, the mood in Knight Nation has changed, but the team is pushing on to Kansas and looks to get back above .500.  It has been an exciting week for other sports as Men and Women's soccer win their final conference games and are moving on to post season tournaments.  Volleyball also came away with a victory in 5 sets to move closer to the .500 mark for the conference.  Men's and Women's basketball get home victories on Monday and Tuesday, but the ladies fell hard to UF Thursday.  We have an exciting slate of games for many of our teams this weekend.  Most importantly, college football is going to have a fantastic week of matchups, and I pick them all plus the Big 12 games we have for Week 10.  Do I roll with my Knights on the road, or do I feel the Jayhawks will find a way to pull off the victory?  That and more of my thoughts on this episode of 1MoreKnight.

Men's and Women's soccer end the regular season this week and hope to improve their standings in the conference before the Big 12 tournament.  Volleyball splits in Arizona and needs a big push in the last 7 games to have a chance or at least to gain confidence going into the offseason.  Also, Women's Basketball tips off on Tuesday and is picked last in the Big 12 during preseason polls.  Can any of these teams surprise the competition and perform better than expected?

Men's Basketball begins Monday and with some returning pieces and a lot of new faces, can the Knights be a force in this year's Big 12 and make it back to the tournament?  I cover the non-conference slate and where I think we will be entering conference play.  I have some guesses on who will be the starters and the role they will play.  See if you agree with my assessment and predictions for the 14 games leading up to Big 12 play. 

The Knights drop the Space Game for the second consecutive year as Baylor blows UCF out on Friday night.  At 4-4, the Knights need to put together a better November than last year if they want to keep a bowl bid a possibility.  More College Football craziness as I run down how we did on the weekend picks and of course our weekly amazement of the AP Top 25. 

Man, what a week.  It was fun coming off the victory, but now to start stringing wins together and have a 2nd half like I believe we can have.  First, Baylor fires their Head Coach, and I share if that was a good idea on a short week where the team is traveling.  I have run out of tissues with all the crying about the officiating.  It was bad both ways but did not decide the outcome of the game.  Next, Scott will join me to talk about the decision to go with "Lights" for Baylor and whether we think Barnett will play for the Knights again this season.  Another week, another Top 25 take, and then our picks for Week 9.  If the Knights can win Friday, they will match their win total for 2025 with 4 games to play in November.  

Knights pull off the upset at the Bounce House dropping the Cougars 39-31 in double overtime.  Let's talk stats, calls, and how UCF pulled off the improbable to take down BYU on Saturday.  College football and the BIG 12 were center stage of the chaos that seems to be every week around the nation.  Speaking of nation, we zip around Knight Nation to catch up with Men's and Women's soccer, as well as Volleyball.  Basketball season starts in a week, and I need to get a preview show in the run here soon.  We will be welcoming Baylor to the Space Game this Friday night and they just fired their coach.  Will this be helpful, or is this even more helpful to our Knights?    

It has been a crazy season, so I bring Scott in to go over many topics from college football.  We start with the surprise teams in the nation.  Is it really possible to but a team together in year one to compete in the P4 conferences.  For the BIG 12, can our conference secure 2 CFP spots this season, or even more?  Then, we look at the QB rankings at the halfway point and offer up our Top 5.  After this week, the QBs we will face are ranked 11th and lower, so does this mean we could make a run at 7 to 8 wins this season?  Of course, we will talk matchups of the week in the nation and BIG 12 before giving you our predictions for the BYU/UCF game.  Will there be an upset?  We share our thoughts and a lot more on this episode.  

Volleyball final gets some wins in conference and had two victories over the weekend.  Still a long way to go, but glad to see them start to put some things together.  Men's and Women's soccer also both get victories.  Another big week for all the teams as football gets ready to host #2 BYU for Homecoming on Saturday.  With the chaos around college football in week 7, we talk upsets and the new top 25.  I give you my take on it all before wrapping up with how my own team did during our county tournament.  Look forward to a great week of UCF Sports!

With the unexpected injuries, have the Knights given us hope that when they return, we can make a run at a bowl game.  With 4 of 6 at home, can the fans help make the atmosphere a tough place to play.  Also, we check in on the BIG 12 standings and give you my take on a few of the surprise teams this season.  Scott out on vacation so I give you my picks from the Top 25 and Big 12 for Saturday.  Let's see if I can be better than 50% this week.  

Different weekend, same result.  The Knights have a costly turnover, and the offense cannot match the firepower of the Cowboys' offense.  While losing sucks, it is how we are losing that raises concern.  Although there were some positives we saw, it is not enough to win or even challenge teams at the end of the game.  As we enter the BYE week, we need to get guys healthy and figure out things in all 3 phases of the game.  Women's soccer was the only bright spot winning both matches over the weekend.  The Men fell to Coastal Carolina on Friday, while Volleyball loses two more at home and are winless in conference play.  All teams need to pick it up if they have aspirations of post season play.  I also run down our picks from the weekend in another crazy week of college football.  Last thing, make it make sense.  Another week, and more questions among who is in the Top 25.
