During its last four games, UCF was steady with wins against Marshall, Southern Methodist, and Palm Beach Atlantic but also dropped one against RPI #9 Southern Miss.

While the Knights have two quality wins including RPI #16 Memphis and RPI #20 Connecticut, they're also weighed down by two bad losses including RPI #103 Tulsa and RPI #153 Louisiana.
