    Bowl Projections

    Pre -Season Bowl projections are always funny becuase no one really has a clue what will happen in season.

    Brett McMurphy tries his hand using gambling odds input from his new employer the Action Network.

    As fans wouldn't we like to see Cincinnati meet and beat Ohio State and Georgia? I know it would be difficult to say the least, but the satisfaction of that would be incredible.

    That's in the Cotton Bowl btw. That would effectivley be a home game for OU.
    That's certainly no worse than playing Georgia in the Peach Bowl, and we came within a hair's breath of winning that one - and I don't believe OU is nearly as good as Georgia, last year or now.

    Palm: CFP Semis Orange Bowl vs. UGA

    McMurphy: NY6 Fiesta Bowl vs Ohio State (he does not think the committee will take an undefeated UC over a 1 loss Big Ten team.

    Schlabach: CFP Semis Orange Bowl vs Georgia

    Bonogura: CFP Semis Cotton Bowl vs. Iowa


    Personal thought:

    If we go undefeated and don't make the CFP, the CFP will likely have to expand down the road to 12 as planned.

    If we make it to the CFP, the CFP will say "see it can be done" and expansion will not happen without an antitrust lawsuit.

    There's a lot riding on our ability to win out and get to the playoff. Not just for us but the entire FBS system.

    I was in Nashville over the weekend wearing UC gear. Lots of people were interested in talking about the UC football team. My take-away from all the conversations is that people view UC as a real threat and most of them do not want us to make the CFP. I think a lot of 1 loss teams will take the slot over us if the CFP selection committee is anything like the general public that I talked to.

    I believe O$U would use whatever influence they have to prevent that. They’ve always ducked UC when we’re good.

    Unless we get neutral refs against ND, we will be playing in a second tier bowl!
