Cincinnati Makes CFP

[BillySee58]

First G5 in the playoffs since the CFP started with the 2014 season.

[El Paso Eagle]

Love hearing their BS about "Quality" wins. They move ND up to #5 and they have NO with against any of the top 25 CFP teams.

[UNT18Grad]

The system has to change.  Cincy had to go undefeated for 2 straight seasons just to barely sneak into the playoffs.  If they happen to beat any team other than ND to start the year the committee puts ND in front of them every single time.

Could even make the argument that with a convincing win over Baylor Ok St probably would have jumped over them too.

I would love nothing more than to see Cincy upset Bama in the semifinal.

Image the sheer number of heads that will explode if Cincy wins the title.  Please, God, let Cincy win.

I'd settle for them beating Alabama.

I will never cheer harder for a team not named North Texas.

I want Cincy beating Michigan in the final.

I will take any other team in the playoff field except for Bama. Although I am mad at Georgia for letting Bama in the playoff at all last night. The Bulldogs looked like the best team in the country all year until then.

I haven't gotten over Auburn letting them off the hook.  The Tigers had that game in hand.  If they won, Bama wouldn't have gotten in. Not even with their victory yesterday.  Losing to a 7-5 Auburn squad would have sunk them IMHO.

Yeah, with the amount of close games they've had this season I don't see how the Committee could have excused allowing them in over Notre Dame or a 12-1 OSU team if they had beat Baylor.

I think Cinci will be beaten by Alabama soundly.

I agree. But by gawd I want that delectable drama that would occur if cinc won. A shakeup to change the foundation of CFB... Or maybe not.

If that does happen, I don’t want to hear about how Cincinnati didn’t deserve to be there.  I believe Bama just beat Georgia soundly so…

 

This comment isn’t directed at you ChiefTen.

Everyone thought that OU would soundly beat Boise State a couple of decades ago too. 

[SilverEagle]

When I read about the matchup, I immediately thought of that line from "Blazing Saddles"....."Don't shoot Mongo, you'll just piss him off". 

[greenminer]

I think the extended time off could hurt Cinci, a team defined by speed, precision, and timing.

they aren't going to out-athlete, or out-bully Alabama.  If they show any signs of rust after the time off, they could be in for a world of hurt.

I hate to think what Cincinnati would have done to us at that point in the season.

I think that's likely. I hope Cincy can at least keep the margin to 10 points though.

Cincy nor any other G5 team have any business in the playoff

Playoffs should be all CFB conference champs and enough at-large to fill out 12/16 bracket.  If the G5 is such a pushover, let the P5 prove it.

Let the G5 prove it? They prove it every year when the P5 and G5 play each other. Occasionally a team like UTSA beats a bad P5 team and thats it. There is nothing else to prove other than the best G5 can beat some P5 garbage or average teams
