I can’t believe all those suckers on the basketball blog kvetching over early season losses that won’t mean anything in March. Meanwhile the football team is ranked 19th, has a legit coach, a stadium with swagger that looks good on national TV. The football program has surpassed the basketball program. When are our fans gong to wake up?

You are anointing this a football school? Please. And we can and should be good at both. Why the hell don't you care about the basketball program is the right question to ask. |

At least with basketball we have a chance (some would argue we dont) to win a national championship, if we take care of the results on the court. Last year was probably our best hope with the way the bracket broke but at least we had a chance. We just didn't get it done. NCAA Football is still the only sport where the results on the field dont determine a champion. |

If UCF, UC and TEMPLE end up in a tie, anybody know who goes to the champion game ???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...mpionship_Game
We would by basis of Temple being eliminated by 6) Overall winning percentage in three way tie. Then we would have head to head over UCF. That’s the way I see it based on American Conference tiebreaker rules. |
Actually we eliminate both UCF and Temple on 6) because UCF has lower winning percentage than us based on playing 1 less game due to hurricane.

Now realistically I don't think that will happen, but just play the What If game for a second. |

[QUOTE=Cin City;192122]Zero chance? How about 1%? Walk with me...IF--IF next year we run the table, which includes wins against UCLA and at Ohio State...then finish undefeated, you don't think that team would be in consideration for the playoff?
Now realistically I don't think that will happen, but just play the What If game for a second.[/QUOTE Way to point that out. We are primed to make a run next year. With an OSU win and undefeated season we would definitely be in. Like Rocky this will be our one shot and this year is a tune up. A lot to look forward to. Thanks. |

I think the people saying they have 0%/little chance at all to get to the CFP are dead wrong.
Remember Houston beat Oklahoma a few years ago and they vault up to #6, and if they didn't end up losing 2 games they probably were near a lock to move up into the top 4 over the course of the long season. Unfortunately they lost a few and we never got to see what would have played out. That was the year they spanked us on Thursday night. I was at that game. I think UC has a similar path next year with OSU on the slate. If, and its a big if, they can beat OSU and win out, they have a very good chance of making the playoffs id say. Next year is a golden opportunity, and the cats are coming together at the right time to maybe take advantage of it. |
I think the last time I was this excited for a UC football game was when I drove up to Pittsburgh and watched the Cats beat the panthers on a closing seconds TD. Can't wait for Saturday at 0800.

Being a older fan I never really followed UC football growing up. Was more interested in OSU. Joined the Military in 1973 and being outside the city OSU was a national brand and on TV. UC was invisible outside the city and even in the city to a great extent in those days. |

Still a year or two away. We look slow comparatively and getting manhandled on the lines.

I really liked our chances at the upset. Looking at their results all year I thought we were primed to upset them. But they showed they were the better team. They killed our O line. What a great atmosphere there too. Sucks we laid an egg in the biggest spotlight, but at least we got a glimpse of what we can become.
