performed against that schedule matters. And sustained performance over multiple seasons should matter as well.

Cincinnati deserves the Playoffs. Their only loss in 2 years is to UGA by 3 pts

I don't know how what happened 35 years ago matters this season, but ok.

You can pretend you can't see any correlation between the arguments people made

Goliath

It's a very different landscape than it was in 1984.

And yet the arguments for and against BYU back then are the same arguments today

Goliath

10/21/21 8:03am

Minus the playoff.

Well one problem is you're comparing a top 1 argument to a top 4 argument

Agree--if they win out, they should be rewarded for the past two years, just

Shinshin

Yes if they win out they should go. But college football is mostly a sham so they probably won’t

YIsForBrigham

I think they're in if they win out

Then you believe Gary Barta will fail at his main job.

I think the first set of rankings will tell us if they’re serious about Cincy

Their Sagarin SOS is ranked 93rd in the country. So they need Notre Dame to win out

TCuz

10/21/21 7:56am

I see the argument about their SOS, but this is pretty much the same team that

Shinshin

10/21/21 7:59am

So the next best part about their resume is that a team from a different year lost to another team.

TCuz

10/21/21 8:02am

I guess. If you ignore the part about how they performed against that schedule

Goliath

10/21/21 8:08am

How they performed against that schedule is reflected in their Sagarin ranking. They are #5. Behind Bama/UGA/OSU/OU.

TCuz

10/21/21 8:11am

So, that sounds pretty darn good.

Looking at previous years also benefits Bama, UGA, OSU, OU. The exact teams ahead of them.

TCuz

10/21/21 8:09am

It should definitely be considered. Shouldn't be given priority over this years

Goliath

10/21/21 8:19am

They've been accepted in the cartel so the cartel may let them join the playoff

vagabonder

10/21/21 7:59am

They’re not gonna let the AAC have all that $$ this year just cause Cincy is moving to the cartel later.

zsmooth

Ash tray money for the Cartel. NBD.

Never happening

Their SOS is bad, very bad

2FarGone

10/21/21 8:05am

I want to see them in the playoff. I hope they win out

Adrielle

No one who matters really cares who deserves to be in, that’s not their goal.

StalwartBraveTrue

10/21/21 8:12am

Weird that the G5 members of that committee are just good to go with the conspiracy!

TCuz

Hair Thompson and the AD from Arkansas state? They’re supposed to have a

StalwartBraveTrue

They deserve to be in the playoff simply to beat GA in 3OT in NC game #SECShorts

10/21/21 8:36am

UCF had two years with ZERO losses going into the playoff selection

krindorr

10/21/21 8:41am

Nowhere did I hint that this was a prediction. I said it is what they deserve

Goliath

10/21/21 8:47am

We're in agreement there

krindorr

10/21/21 9:33am

thumbs up they deserve, thumbs down, don't trash 84!

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/21/21 8:53am

I'm not trashing '84. Just pointing out that you can't trash Cincy without

Goliath

10/21/21 9:26am

oh im just having fun. I agree!

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/21/21 9:38am

The biggest difference between 1984 and now isn't what you think

krindorr

10/21/21 10:52am

Hard to argue but shows how easy it is to play that schedule - still gotta

truecougster

10/21/21 10:37am

Cincy is good, but their QB has a shady look to him. Not a fan.

SJS

10/21/21 10:38am

their profile is definitely more deserving than 1984 BYU
