American Stories: UCF Making Push For The Playoff

The UCF Knights have won 19 in a row and are ranked No. 9 in the nation, but have their sights set on something more

The Knights (6-0), who rallied to defeat Memphis, 31-30, at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium Saturday have won 19 straight games and are now a solid top-10 team, checking in again at 10 in the Associated Press poll.

Given the events of a crazy weekend, they probably should be ranked higher.
