That would be a travesty. They deserve to be there more than Notre Dame because they beat them. They deserve to be there more than Georgia because Georgia got blown out by Alabama.

Losing their coach might have cost Notre Dame a spot. I doubt their AD cares all that much about that though. Cincinnati needs to play a tough non-con including several upper tier P5 teams or NOT bitch about getting left out of the playoff.Notre Dame will be 5. Bearcats are in. Georgia too.
The question is, who deserves it more than Notre Dame and Georgia? Notre Dame hasn't beaten any ranked opponents. Georgia has a couple wins over some lower ranked teams (Clemson and Arkansas), but they got blown out by Alabama who didn't exactly look like world beaters against Auburn a week earlier.Notre Dame will be 5. Bearcats are in. Georgia too.
I don't think Georgia lost on purpose, they were just exposed.Georgia should be out. If not, this will encourage teams to continue to lose on purpose to help their conference.
Only having 4 teams make it is a total joke to begin with. It's not a real National Championship. No moreso than would a 4-team basketball championship.
Cincinnati beat ND so if ND pushes them out they would have a legitimate bitch.Losing their coach might have cost Notre Dame a spot. I doubt their AD cares all that much about that though.

They're still a damned good team it's just that their DC and defense aren't as good as we thought. Obviously they hadn't been tested very well. You could make an argument that Texas A&M is a better team than Georgia.I don't think Georgia lost on purpose, they were just exposed.
Where have you been? Hell the SEC been doing this for years and they even get a team not in the SEC CCG get in..Georgia should be out. If not, this will encourage teams to continue to lose on purpose to help their conference.

ADs recognize what I've been saying all along about Fickell. He's an average coach who caught lightening in a bottle in a weak conference. Campbell's crappy losses this year cost him a huge payday probably.Is Fickell going to stay? Openings are becoming more limited. Thought for sure that OU would go after him
also thought Campbell would leave as well

Do you think Frosts struggles as well as some other AAC power 5 hire struggles have cooled power 5 programs from looking at hot AAC coaches as favorably?ADs recognize what I've been saying all along about Fickell.

Maybe but Fickell is not an impressive guy in interviews. He comes off as a doofus and his interim job at Ohio State was a disaster with a loaded cupboard and virtually no staff turnover. I think he could post winning records at a school like USC but he isn't a guy who is going to win conference championships at LSU or USC. JMO. I kind of like the guy but I think most of the jobs that were available were over his head.Do you think Frosts struggles as well as some other AAC power 5 hire struggles have cooled power 5 programs from looking at hot AAC coaches as favorably?
Isn't Texas A&M 7-5? If a 7-5 team is arguably better than a 12-1 team, that isn't a very good indication they deserve a playoff spot.They're still a damned good team it's just that their DC and defense aren't as good as we thought. Obviously they hadn't been tested very well. You could make an argument that Texas A&M is a better team than Georgia.
Cincinatti will get more respect when they move from the AAC to the Big 12. Losing Oklahoma hurt the Big 12, but Baylor and Oklahoma State proved they can certainly compete. Cincinnati vs either Baylor or Oklahoma State would be fun games to watch.Losing their coach might have cost Notre Dame a spot. I doubt their AD cares all that much about that though. Cincinnati needs to play a tough non-con including several upper tier P5 teams or NOT bitch about getting left out of the playoff.
The eye test - to my eye at least - is that Georgia is a better team than Notre Dame. There has never been a moment this year where I thought Notre Dame was one of the 4 best teams. I’ve had Georgia in my top 4 since August.The question is, who deserves it more than Notre Dame and Georgia?
I didn't say they deserved to be a playoff team. I said you could make the argument that they're a better team than Georgia based on their performance against AlabamaIsn't Texas A&M 7-5? If a 7-5 team is arguably better than a 12-1 team, that isn't a very good indication they deserve a playoff spot.
Same could be said for Auburn, who took Alabama to 4OT's.I didn't say they deserved to be a playoff team. I said you could make the argument that they're a better team than Georgia based on their performance against Alabama
They will be in the Big 12 in 2 years... He will stay. He will be favored to win the conference almost from day one.Is Fickell going to stay? Openings are becoming more limited. Thought for sure that OU would go after him

Michigan/ Georgia pick’em game.What will that Cinnci/Bama line be? Has to be around Bama -20 right?
Why would Cincinnati get left out? There’s literally zero chance that happens. They’re currently 4th. ND didn’t play so why would they jump Cincy after they beat a ranked team handily?That would be a travesty. They deserve to be there more than Notre Dame because they beat them. They deserve to be there more than Georgia because Georgia got blown out by Alabama.
Ha...I said that to a friend last night...What will that Cinnci/Bama line be? Has to be around Bama -20 right?
I think you've said that a couple times. Is it your position that Georgia lost on purpose?Georgia should be out. If not, this will encourage teams to continue to lose on purpose to help their conference.

Cincy has looked like crap for the last 5 weeks. The only concern would be if they are soooooo geeked up and if Bama is like "whatever"...Refinance your home and let it ride on the faves.
We are very fortunate we did not have to play them last season.Losing their coach might have cost Notre Dame a spot. I doubt their AD cares all that much about that though. Cincinnati needs to play a tough non-con including several upper tier P5 teams or NOT bitch about getting left out of the playoff.
I agree with them over ND but Georgia, hell no.That would be a travesty. They deserve to be there more than Notre Dame because they beat them. They deserve to be there more than Georgia because Georgia got blown out by Alabama.
I think he'll wait till the right job opens up.Is Fickell going to stay? Openings are becoming more limited. Thought for sure that OU would go after him
