UCF only played ONE ranked opponent (Memphis who was #20 by the time they played the rescheduled game) while Alabama played 4 ranked teams (going off both team's schedules as listed on ESPN) during the regular season. now that there are FORTY bowl games in college football saying "we beat more bowl teams" doesn't really mean as much. not sure about this season but last year there were teams with losing records that got invited to bowl games. like it or not strength of schedule MUST play a factor. you can't compare beating Austin Peay or UConn with beating FLA St or Miss St. well, maybe in basketball.
They beat Navy when they were ranked in the AP and coaches poll, USF and Memphis. Alabama beat FSU, Miss St and LSU. Fresno wasn't ranked when they beat them.
