With college football’s fall camps on the verge of opening around the country, we have a trivia question for you: Which team brings the longest winning streak – 13 games – into the 2018 season?

Sure, devout college football fans might know the answer, but it’s a school a bit off the radar: Central Florida of the American Athletic Conference. Previously, UCF football was probably best known as the alma mater of Daunte Culpepper (or Brandon Marshall or Blake Bortles) or the last coaching stop of George O’Leary. He took that job a few years after he embarrassingly resigned from Notre Dame just a few days into his tenure in 2001 when inaccuracies over his resume came to light.
UCF officials have claimed a “national title” from 2017 – including rings to players and coaches, a banner at the home stadium and a parade – because the Knights were the only unbeaten FBS team in the country and in the Peach Bowl beat the team, Auburn, that beat the national champion, Alabama, during the regular season.
