Scott Frost thought Central Florida got a raw deal by the playoff committee, but he's also now on the record as not being down with calling his undefeated team from last season the national champions.

UCF officials have placed that title on themselves ever since their Peach Bowl win over Auburn that finished off a 13-0 season. It now reads "2017 national champions" inside the school's home stadium in Orlando and coaches and players received rings that say the same. The Knights were the only undefeated team in the FBS last year.

Frost told USA Today it's "almost criminal" that UCF was No. 12 in the playoff committee rankings. "But at the end of the day, the playoff system is that the national champion is the team that wins the playoff," he told the newspaper.

That would be Alabama that won the playoff. UCF, which rolled through the American Athletic Conference and then beat an Auburn team that beat Alabama, finished sixth in the final AP poll. The "national champions" description, though, is not something Frost is going to use.

"All I'll say is if we had stayed there, I would have had a hard time getting behind it," he told USA Today. "I think it was smart by them, because it has kept UCF in the media and in the conversation. But you know, like our rings, I kind of wish my ring just said "Undefeated Season" and 'Peach Bowl Champion.'"

Husker offensive coordinator Troy Walters has suggested the same opinion on social media, getting some push-back from UCF fans.

“My PEACH BOWL & AAC CHAMPIONSHIP ring came today. Honored to be a part of a Blessed team and season #13-0 #Glory2God," Walters tweeted with a picture of the rings.

While some UCF fans argued that those were national championship rings, Walters replied, “Personally and professionally speaking, I am a national champion when I win the National Championship game. I wish we could have had this opportunity because we were playing at a high level. If someone else wants to proclaim and pay me as a national champion, then that's on them.”

Walters also later noted there was no intent to disrespect UCF because he has nothing but love for the program, the players that sacrificed and the city of Orlando.

He finished the tweet by wishing the Knights good luck in 2018, followed by the hashtag #OnlyUndefeatedTeam. That cannot be debated.
