...After Cincy and OU looked like the previous weeks pretenders in the Top 2?

No reason for it to happen. If OU and Cincy are really frauds we’ll know soon enough

And just who does Cincy play that might expose them?

Should definitely be higher than those two. Basing rankings only on W and L is for simpletons. OU in particular is not a good team.

Maybe some random unranked team can expose them like Texas A&M did to Bama.

Cincy has an undefeated and ranked SMU on their plate. Of course, if SMU wins, do we bump them up to top 5? Game is November 20.

They are down in New Orleans next week. Someone should go check them out in person....wait a minute, Fickell is making a midseason trip to LA?

I mean, they almost let Navy come back and beat them so..

Do they struggle against a weak Tulsa team next week or handle them like a playoff team should? And what do they look like against a ranked and undefeated SMU? Those games will be good tells to see what they’re about before year end.

The way this season has played out, if Cincy doesn't drop a game, then they absolutely deserve to be in the Top 4 and in the CFP.

I don't care about the "their G5 schedule" crap, and the argument that they'll just get destroyed in the first round...well how would that be different than many of the semifinal matchups, or even last year's championship game where Alabama destroyed THE Ohio State?

this, exactly.

"they'll get destroyed" is a completely baseless and meaningless claim. it could happen sure, but it pretty much happens every year anyway. cincy being in there is no different than the other 5 teams that have gotten smacked

OU continues to pull games out in some crazy way week after week against average to below average teams. It’s crazy they’ll be ranked top 5.

Congrats. You guys have unseated Alabama for the most fricking annoying fan base in the history of annoying fan bases

At least Bama fans can claim a few titles. You guys are just up north beating up on a bunch of slow retards, thinking you’re worth a shite. Yet every time y’all play a team worth a frick y’all get the doors blown off of y’all


I hate OSU fans. That’s all. Carry on
