Self-proclaimed unbeaten national champion UCF would be a 21-point underdog in a neutral site game vs. Alabama, according to Todd Fuhrman, a former oddsmaker at Caesars Palace and co-founder of Bet The Board podcast said Tuesday.

Assuming Scott Frost and his entire coaching staff at Nebraska would return to UCF for this matchup, a three-touchdown spread for the unbeaten Knights doesn’t seem all that unreasonable from a wagering standpoint. UCF closed as a 13-point underdog (at most sportsbooks) against Auburn in the Peach Bowl before proving naysayers wrong and winning outright, 34-37.

The Crimson Tide would have an obvious strength edge at the line of scrimmage and the talent disparity between the two teams at other positions is vast.

Fuhrman believes Auburn, the SEC-runner up this season who beat Alabama, would've fared better against UCF had the Peach Bowl meant something to the Tigers.

"If you think the level of focus in a potential real national title game is the same as Auburn in the Peach Bowl you've lost your mind," Fuhrman responded to a UCF fan's claim on Twitter.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey was dismissive of UCF's bold title claim, saying the national championship was played Monday night in Atlanta.
