Cincy has a cupcake schedule and their only real game is against a weak ND team. They might make the CFP, but they'll get blown out. Uh…they were the last team to play Georgia close (lost 24-21 in the Peach Bowl last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Penn St and Illinois in a 9 OT thriller. Most of the time is spent walking to the other end of the field after they both do, and mostly fail, their 2-point attempts. This is weird. Illinois wins!

Only the Big Ten can do a 9OT game and score under 40. Also, I thought Maryland did crab cakes and football. Not seeing the latter so far. ETA: A 27-20 win over Navy should count as a loss in the rankings for Cincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone earlier in this thread say that because cincy only lost by 7 to Georgia last year that they might be good? Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times Oh please. It was a pitiful showing by the Bearcats today, but hardly anyone looks great this year. Oklahoma needed 21 4th quarter points to scrape by 1-5 Kansas. Before this week Cincinnati was playing as well as anyone in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever argued the AAC was a strong conference. They’re moving to the Big 12 next year though, so it will be a much stronger schedule going forward. Disappointing game today for sure, but hey, at least we didn’t lose to Bowling Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 To be clear I think if cinci wins out they should go to the playoffs. But I also think that they will be crushed and it won't be pretty.

The latter will probably lose too, but at least they have a chance. 27 minutes ago, Rhom said: I was just looking over scores from yesterday and saw that. Definitely had to do a double take. I had season tickets for three seasons at Minny and travel to a handful of conference games, including games the Gophers weren't playing in. The Big Ten produces a lot of weird results.

The Ducks are way better than ND, and that's the only real team Cincy had to face. Beating ND on a down year and running the table on a cupcake schedule should not be a resume that qualifies for the final four when Bama and Georgia are pretty clear locks for two of the spots.

If they're undefeated thats enough of a resume. It always has been. I doubt seriously that they're even one of the top 10 teams in the country, but it doesn't matter. Undefeated means they should go in. That said Ohio state or Wisconsin is almost certainly going to go in, so the point is largely moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
