The oddsmakers are speaking loudly to us with this line and the ensuing sharp action screams louder than even that. We have a South Florida team who was the AAC regular season champ that’s 24-7 overall and was recently ranked in the AP Top 25. Yet, they’re an underdog versus a UCF team who’s 17-15 which includes 7-11 during Big 12 Conference regular season action. The difference in this matchup is the level of competition both teams played this season. South Florida has played just 3 games versus NCAA Tournament teams this season and went 1-2 in those contests. Furthermore, none of those 3 games came against non-conference opponents. Conversely, UCF has posted 4 wins this season versus NCAA teams the likes of Kansas, TCU, Texas Tech, and Texas. All 4 of those wins occurred at home. Give me UCF minus points.
