In the wake of the greatest team accomplishment in the history of Orlando sports, what a perfect time to change the name of the city's hometown university.

With my proposed new name, there will be no more confusion moving forward on whether to refer to the university by its official designation or by the abbreviated version – UCF – school officials prefer for branding purposes.

Unlike the old name – University of Central Florida – the new moniker will have no directional school connotation and be perfect branding when the national broadcasters insist on identifying the university by its official name.

UCF:

Undefeated Champions Forever.

Celebrate it, Orlando.

Commemorate it.

Cheer it.

Revere it.

You are national champions no matter what the College Football Playoff Cartel says. Go ahead and let Georgia and Alabama compete in the Cartel's exclusionary All-SEC Consolation Bowl in Atlanta on Monday night. We all know the true champions were crowned in Atlanta a week ago when the nation's only undefeated team – the UCF Knights – chopped down big, bad SEC powerhouse Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

Yes, the same Auburn Tigers who defeated both teams playing in the Consolation Bowl, steamrolling both Georgia (40-17) and Alabama (26-14) late in the season. The same Auburn team who, despite three losses, was shamefully ranked five spots ahead of the unbeaten Knights in the College Football Playoff Cartel's final regular-season poll.

"It wasn't right – watching the committee every week sitting in a room and deciding this two-loss team must be better than UCF or that three-loss team must be better than UCF," coach Scott Frost said after the Peach Bowl. "It looked like a conscious effort (to keep UCF out of the playoff). Our guys deserve everything they get, and they deserve more credit from the Committee than what they got."

Kudos to Frost for speaking out against the Cartel immediately after the game and to UCF athletic director Danny White for doggedly keeping UCF's championship narrative in the national spotlight in the days following the game.

This team – this amazing, hair-raising, trail-blazing team – deserves to be called national champions. And this town – this beleaguered, bedraggled, bedeviled sports town – will take a championship any way it can get one.

The Orlando Magic have sunk into the abyss of irrelevance, mired in a sixth consecutive season of devastating and debilitating losing. Every year, Orlando City promises they will make the playoffs in MLS, and every year they disappoint.

Orlando has no championships to brag about unless you count the occasional minor-league titles it has claimed from the Arena Football League, the United Soccer League and the International Hockey League. Who will ever forget when the Solar Bears won the IHL Turner Cup back in 2001 and then folded a week later?

Such has been the legacy of Central Florida sports teams – heartbreak, sadness and suffering. If Orlando's sports history were put to music, the theme song would be sung by country legends Roy Clark and Buck Owens as they used to perform it on the old "Hee-Haw" TV show.

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me

Deep, dark depression, excessive misery

If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all

Gloom, despair, and agony on me."

Now, at long last, fans can sing a different country song – "The Knight the Lights Came On in Georgia." This inspirational UCF team has finally brought some joy, pride and passion into Orlando sporting lives. Thanks to Frost, Shaquem Griffin, McKenzie Milton and this incredible bunch of players and coaches, Orlando has a national championship to celebrate.

Raise that banner.

Hoist that trophy.

Have that parade.

Throw that party.

And please spare the righteous indignation of the grumpy, old fuddy-duddies who think UCF's national championship claim is illegitimate. It's much more credible than many of the SHAMpionships claimed by some of the most storied programs in college football.

Look at Alabama's list of claimed national championships, including the 1941 title in which the Clemson Tide finished 9-2, third in the SEC and ranked No. 20 in the AP poll. However, a mathematical formula concocted by an Alabama fan resulted in the Crimson Tide claiming the bogus Houlgate System National Championship.

Georgia acknowledges a national championship in 1968 despite tying twice during the regular season and suffering a 16-2 loss to Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. Even so, the Bulldogs were voted No. 1 in the laughable Litkenhous Poll.

Decades later, the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are now playing for yet another fraudulent national title.

"Just go ahead and cancel the College Football Playoff," the magical Milton said during the joyous post-Peach Bowl celebration.

Confetti rained down from above as Milton spoke and euphoric Knight fans showered the stadium with chants of "U-C-F! U-C-F! U-C-F!"

UCF.

Undefeated.

Champions.

Forever.
