Alabama football fans bowed down to the champs last night.

With Central Florida claiming a national championship after an incredible undefeated season and Peach Bowl victory over Auburn, the Knights of Orlando deserve some respect.

University of Alabama students and other Crimson Tide fans paid it in full last night, as the UCF national championship "trophy" was put on display at Gallettes on the Strip.

The "UCF Trophy Tour Staff" wheeled it in to the front of

during another crowded Wine Wednesday, and the always-reverent Bama fans showed as much love as Knight faithful could ask after such an impressive season.

The folks in Tuscaloosa seemed to all but forget their team's miraculous College Football Playoff Final win over Georgia in Atlanta, as hundreds lined up to take photos with the trophy, despite the strict security and velvet rope that surrounded it.

Created with a lot of love by the

guys (of Alabama Media Group's Red Clay Media), the trophy drew a fun crowd who happily played along, according to SEC Shorts co-creator Robert Clay.

Fans admitted "Gotta respect the real champs" and didn't dare try to damage or even touch the trophy. "It was like this cardboard Ark of the Covenant behind velvet rope."

Some even wore UCF shirts, but it wasn't clear if they were genuinely Knights fans or just wearing them for fun.
