If UC wins out, and Ohio State beats Michigan, I predict that the final 4 will be like this, as a UC-O$U matchup would be of great fan interest!

1. Georgia
2. O$U
3. Cincinnati
4. Notre Dame

B.C.

I don't care who we play as long as we're in the CFP.

UC does not have a quality loss like the rest of them. lol.

Columbus College's Quality Loss took a serious hit Saturday.

Cincinnati's non conference SOS is up to #7 in the country.

Miami is one win away from the MAC Championship appearance.

Yes we can and when ND jumps us I'm going to be livid.

Livid won't begin to describe it after repeatedly expressing the value of head-to-head matchups in explaining earlier inexplicable rankings.

That would be a crock of s**t.

[Lobot]

We can see where this is going.

We can see where this is going.

It may be about the big schools keeping all of the money to themselves. However, one must remember that the UC-Georgia game was the highest viewed bowl game last year. So if it is about TV rankings, one would think that the networks would be pushing for the Bearcats to be in it. Everyone out there is tired of the same 4-6 teams in it and they are even more tired of seeing the 1 sead killing the 4 and the 2 sead killing the 3. If Georgia is going to crush anyone, why not let it be a new comer?

Thinking this through a bit, I still can't come up with a logical reason UC doesn't get in if they have a dominate win over ECU and/or play well next week. I think that may be more of a key than people are talking about, but the Committee prob wants to see that this is the same team who cleanly beat a top 10 ND team on the road, who are now knocking on the door again as well it looks like.

So a consistent effort 2 weeks in a row may go a long way to convince them of that, that the 2 "close" games were abberations and not the new norm etc..,

And this isn't a UCF team, it's a roster filled with high level NFL talent, on par with any top 5 school right now.

So yes, if they do not get in given the above, this week or next, I can't help but to believe it's simply a $ thing.

[Josh Rexhausen]

Oh sure its impressive to beat an overrated team at home and keep an overrated team who barely beats a top 25 team at home above UC.
