Nick Saban was surprisingly open in sharing his thoughts on Central Florida's national championship claims.

Gus Malzahn, though, didn't feel like getting into it Wednesday at the Regions Tradition golf tournament when asked about this topic that has now been discussed to the point of ridiculousness.

Central Florida, which beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl and finished as the only undefeated team in the FBS last year, continues to refer itself as last season's true national champions and has done everything from having national championship celebrations to creating UCF national title gear.

"They played extremely well that day (in the Peach Bowl)," Malzahn said. "We didn't play our best, but give those guys credit. They played extremely well and got after us."

Malzahn was then asked again for his thoughts on UCF claiming to be last season's true national champions.

"They played real well that day," Malzahn said, "and we didn't play that well."
