Same way Cincinnati has while struggling with half their pitiful schedule.

Just looked at their schedule, and the only game they struggled in was a 7-point win over Navy. Their schedule is definitely pretty weak, but they won all of them, one of which was Notre Dame. Bama struggled in at least 3 games that they wound up winning (LSU, Florida, and Auburn). It's going to be interesting to see how Cincinnati does, assuming they get past Houston.

Then you didn't watch them. They struggled for much of several games before pulling away, while playing absolutely nobody.

I believe Houston will handle Cincinnati on Saturday. Now with the Fickle to ND talk I believe that even more. Keep in mind this is a Cincinnati team that struggled with Tulane. Cincinnati was a 27.5 pt favorite, won by 19 but was only up 2 at halftime and 9 at the end of 3. Tulane had 4 turnovers in that game. Without the turnovers Cincinnati may not win that game.

Why are so many people convinced Houston can beat Cincy? I've watched both teams play and they don't seem comparable talent wise. Do folks not want them in the playoff for some reason? I don't understand it. No way you can put ND in over them and they are just as good if not better than the other 1 loss teams. Bedsides then SEC, the other power 5 conferences usually have 1 elite teams and then a bunch of scrubs. No different than Cincy this year.

I'll say it again, if it's close, Bama wins because of the zebras. The SEC wants 2 teams in and UGA has to blow them out or it's gonna happen.

I saw the epic screw job Auburn got for damn sure. Holding in the end zone, another hold around midfield, hands to the face in auburn territory, 2 intentional grounding calls and a push off. Oddly enough, none of them were called. Continuing to deny the obvious kind of defeats your argument there meth king of the south.

On another note, did you ever get your new outhouse plans all squared away? It sounded pretty nice from that thread you posted. We are adding a back patio to our house soon with an outdoor pizza oven and smoker. These kind of projects pique my interest these days.

There was holding and PI all night on both teams... One PI likely cost Bammer a TD...

And if you are sincerely talking about "teams get calls on the Plains"... That's not the hill ya wanna die on, friend...

Except on the drive to keep their Natty dreams alive in BHam. All of those calls were not iffy. They were blatant. And were not called. Bama gets that benefit 99.7456789% of the time. The rest of us do not. I honestly don't see how Bama fans either can't or won't acknowledge it.

edit: for the record, I've said that Bammer DOES get the benefit of officiating most of the time. I just don't think there's some conspiracy out of B'ham that directs on the field officials to fix games for Bammer...

Lord McBuckethead

11-30-2021, 09:47 PM

What do y'all Cincinnati haters want them to do? Just go unbeaten for nothing and jerk it to a stupid bowl game? They tried to schedule some bigger games and they won them. It's hard to get up for every game and win by 50 at a G5, they don't have the depth for that over a 12 game season. I just don't understand the hate when there's nothing they can control about it. I mean does it make you feel better to see UGA beat Oklahoma state 42-3 instead?

Probably for the same reason why Bama doesn't lobby to be allowed to play the JETS every year. Cincy just doesn't belong there. If their schedule was in the 30s, they would have lost 4 games.

Bama pushed off hard to get their TD. Just saying. No flag. Sure it happens all the time, but when the game is on the line, you can't shove a dude so far he isn't even in the play anymore.

Yes

But in the end I think this is just Kirby's year. They are loaded and have an experienced team. Bama is talented but young in alot of spots. Bama is not ready at WR to hurt the Jawja D like they could in past years. Bama doesnt have the depth defensively they have had.

This is Kirby's best team he has had and maybe ever will have at Jawja. It's his time

Here's my go at it:

Bama loses SECCG - Bama is out and UGA in
Michigan Wins and is in
Cincy Wins and is in
OK State loses and is out
ND is in
Option 1 => Fickell goes to ND and coaches them against Cincy in 1st round.

Option 2 => Fickell coaches Cincy against UGA in 1st round and loses
ND beats Michigan so Fickell goes to ND and "coaches" in championship game where he loses to UGA.

Fickell becomes the first coach to both coach and lose with 2 teams in the same CFP.

2 Michigan

Cincy will lose to Houston, Ok State will lose to Baylor, Bama will lose to UGA but will be viewed as the best 2 loss team unless UGA blows them out. If that?s the case Ohio State or Baylor sneaks in

I think it will be Georgia, Michigan, OK St, and Cincinnati. I could certainly see Houston winning, but I think Cincinnati pulls it out. I'm rooting for them to get in. I would like to finally have a data point for the G5 argument. We've seen Boise and UCF pull out games no one thought they could win (myself included), but it always comes with the "opponent didn't care" caveat. Unfortunately, they will likely get UGA in round 1, so ot could definitely go badly. But at least we'll have a data point. It's a fairly weak field this year anyway, so I don't think it would be wasting a spot. After UGA and maybe Michigan, there are no real contenders.

HancockCountyDog

I don't know much, but if OSU loses, and Bama doesn't get blown out, they are going to keep Bama at 3 and keep Cincy at 4 so that game doesn't get played again. They won't penalize Bama for losing to UGA in Atlanta. Assuming they keep it within 7 points.

If OSU wins Big XII, they will be 3 and Cincy will most likely stay 4.

smootness

12-01-2021, 11:41 AM

It's pretty obvious Cincy has had some trouble at times staying focused and motivated against weaker opponents. In the games they've more likely felt like they needed to get 'up' for, they absolutely obliterated both UCF and SMU...a team Houston was losing to entering the 4th and finally went ahead of with 17 seconds left.

Houston also was down to South Florida at HT, got taken to OT by East Carolina, and lost by 3 scores to Texas Tech.

Anything can happen and Houston is a solid team, so I'm not guaranteeing Cincy beats Houston. But I'd put pretty good money on it. Cincy is very good and deserves to be there. I'm extremely glad Notre Dame has played as well as they have since that game because if they hadn't, the committee likely would have found a way to bump Cincy down.

Bearcats are going to have a road win over a top 5 or top 6 team. OklaSt can't "poke" that with a ten foot pole. And if Bearcats win it will not be over a scrub 8-4 team. Houston is at least respectable. The Cowboys have not been so impressive as to pass UC. The thought of OSU jumping UC should not receive any serious consideration, and if they do it means UC was out to begin with and never seriously considered at any point.

On Sunday it will be

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Oklahoma State
4. Cincinatti

They do this to make cincy look bad and cinci gets beat my Georgia by 21+ and the G5 will never ever ever get anything team in the playoff because of it

The sliding and opposing views is accurate. MSU gets screwed a little more and Bama gets more of the calls and breaks cause their Bama. Bama don't win them all because of calls and we don't lose them all because of calls.

Seen it way too much the calls out of SEC office to get what they want. Surprisingly I saw more Bama calls than Aub calls Saturday on the Plains which is surprising because Aub always gets some big calls their way.

Easily could have been a hold and safety on the first down play at the 2 on Bama OL. They couldn't block Moultrie, they held and Young was in endzone - safety and game over. Huge no call. Saw a lot worse hold call called a hold in the game.
