The first time UCF hosted College Gameday was a season after they claimed the National Championship in 2017. UCF hosted the coveted Saturday morning college football countdown on Memory Mall where students lined up more than 24 hours in advance to get a spot behind the Gameday crew.
UCF was ranked No. 11 at the time and Cincinnati broke into the ranking at No. 24 making it a top-25 matchup. It was the toughest ticket to get in town and that is shown in the attendance. UCF showed they were clearly the superior team crushing Cincinnati 38-13 in a prime-time spot on Saturday night.
UCF had its second-largest crowd in the Bounce House for College Gameday, but it wasn't quite enough to break the all-time attendance record in the Bounce House.
