The Dark Lord hasn't lost his touch, as much as I hate it.

I made peace with it a few years ago and I think all things aside He is a good man but JFC retire already dude . Your dad would approve of your success and it’s all gonna be ok . You ‘ve done well.

Cincy is running the dumbest 3rd and 4th down plays

They are garbage and should’ve never been in the cfp

 

[lilesrt]

Does Cincinnati deserve to be here?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Does Cincinnati deserve to be here?

Absolutely not

Moment where Cincinnati(or CinSaNatUhh as John Ward would say) got their heart ripped out ala Temple of Doom has occurred .

 

[molsen81]

Yep, just run it and get ready for Monday, Jan 10

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

I think Cincinnati would beat us but it would be a good game. They have no business being in the CFP

Zero business.

 

[TJVol95]

Garbage Bama again. No chance vs these pros.

 

[hUTch2002]

And once again. How many times is that? Alabama comes up with huge sack to kill a Cincinnati threat.

That and the batted down balls.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

If watching Bama for all these years has taught me anything, it’s that games are won up front. A great front 7 makes your DBs better. A great OL makes your backs and QB better. We have got to get a dominant front 7 and OL when we do, with this offensive scheme I see us being deadly but we have to do it

 

[Gladiator1]

Actually it's not a ref, I think it's Finebaum, so everything is OK. Oops sorry blue font, maybe?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Zero business.

So are you replacing undefeated Cincinnati with 1-loss Notre Dame, who got manhandled at home by….checks notes….Cincinnati?

Or perhaps a 2-loss Ohio State team that didn’t win its division?

Cincinnati deserved to be there.

 

[hUTch2002]

Absolutely not

I disagree. Who would you have put in instead? They beat the #5 team by 11 on the road. They were undefeated while all other contenders had 2 losses outside of the ND, who Cinci beat. So who else would you have put in? They deserved it for sure. Zero question this year. Most of these semifinal games have been blowouts over the years no matter who’s playing.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Does Cincinnati deserve to be here?

Yes.

 

[99gator]

Absolutely not

They aren’t doing worse than a lot of other teams

 

[lilesrt]

Yes.

Alabama is peaking at the right time.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I think Cincinnati would beat us but it would be a good game. They have no business being in the CFP

So who should have gotten in over them?

 

[Wezcoast]

You put any other team in this , but Bummer, and it's probably a game. Even if it's a historically weaker Saban team, they still have the intangibles, talent , and coaching to turn your lights out in rude fashion. This Cinci team would probably take UGA to the wire , if not beat them outright.

 

[zooguy]

Bama is sleep walking in this game. They aren’t running their normal offense (throwing it all over the field).

 

[Lawrence Wright]

So who should have gotten in over them?

No one…it’s an absurd position to take, considering Cincinnati beat the only other potential CFP contender, in their house by double digits.

Damnit don’t make me agree with you .

 

[voltn21]

Unfortunately there’s no parity in CFB. You have 2 elite teams and one really good one. The rest are all about on par. Cincy deserves to be there just because they are undefeated and are on par with all the other top teams.
