Recruiting is lopsided in college football.
They could compete with a lot of average Power 5 teams. The same thing happens to Notre Dame when they get in the BCS.
Hopefully they expand the BCS. It would have been nice to expand to 8 and maybe give Cincy a chance to win 1

If it ends up 24-6 or 27-6, does that still show how group of 5 don't belong in playoffs?? Or will the media give any kind of credit to UC

All I know is the Bearcats need to get much better on offense, the defense has been good enough to win this game with a competent offense. Time to hit up that transfer portal and also get to recruiting.

They have some solid guys coming in, but most on defense, I think. At least they know what they need to address to compete with the big boys

I kind of hate the Nick Saban love. Can you imagine how many SBs Bill Belichick and Tom Brady win if they didn't have to worry about things like salary caps, free agency, or drafting so they could just horde all of the talent?

I understand the Hate. People are always jealous of us WV natives.

I think the pundits and talking heads will give UC their due. Hell of an accomplishment for them to get this far. The list of Alabama victims is long and filled with some big-time programs. Kudos to UC for a great run.

Already seen a couple saying that's why group of 5 teams don't belong in the playoffs

Well shit that was tough to watch. Knew they would run it down our throats instead of challenging our DB’s but damn, thought our offense would at least get a TD. Proud of what they did the last 2 years but in Cincy fashion, crumble on the National stage. SMH

I’m not against non power 5 teams making it, but only when they have an actual tough strength of schedule.

No. I’m first an OSU fan and they’ve been beat worse than that. Oklahoma routinely gets shellacked
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

They were as deserving as anyone else in top 6 or so

I’d say UC belonged as much as any of the other 4 seeds who lost by an average of 20.

I feel bad for the UC secondary. They deserved better.
