Dont want to get too much more into this as I've stated my opinion. This is not the same logic as FAU and Cincy are on completely different levels in completely different situations. Fickell would have momentum in OHIO with a lot of recruits that OSU passed over. The connection would be much more relevant if a school in Ohio brought home the national championship. Ohio State is essentially Cincy's older brother when it comes to football. Recruits would be able to see the natural link. FAU and Alabama would not be the same. UC has played in 2 BCS bowls, won multiple conference champions ships, sent players to the NFL, and not withstanding Tubs last year is a very attractive and successful program. FAU not so much. I think Fick would capitalize much more than Kiffin would be able to because of the schools they are at and the situations they are in. But fine agree to disagree. Go BUCKS!

Also wanted to say I would have been fine with him quitting OSU and starting the UC job right away. Since he didn't I want them to win it all since I obviously think that would be best for the Bearcats. Go Cats!

Amen, anyone who doesn't agree with this statement shouldn't be posting to this board. Go find another place to post your OSU fan garbage and keep it off the UC message boards.

CFP committee purposely made it so that OSY and Alabama could play each other for the championship. There is no reason for the actual ranking. OSU should be a 2 or 4, there isn't anything really separating Washington and Clemson, that should have been the 2/3 game IMO. So I will be rooting against both Alabama and OSU cause middle finger to the committee

I thought Ohio State should've been the 4. The difference between Clemson and Washington is the schedule. Washington played easy non-conference games against Idaho, Rutgers and I forget who else, while Clemson played @Auburn and Troy.

Jake I know you follow the betting lines very close but I am interested in knowing what criteria you are using to rank the teams. I actually agree with the previous comment that the committee wanted TOSU and the Bama playing in the finals. Ratings bonanza for the networks. I also think it worked out because I have the Buckeyes favored over Washington and Clemson. I have them a decisive dog to Bama.

I'd probably have OSU #2 on a neutral field when it comes to betting...I was basing them being #4 on what the committee claims to care about. They say conference championships are weighed heavily, so I though Washington throttling Colorado while Ohio State sat at home would've been enough to move them ahead.

yea I see that. Them not winning their conference and not even playing in the game was a big hit to their resume in my opinion. Like you I do think they are the second best team in the fielld. I'll. Be in Vegas over the holiday so if you need me to check a line let me know.

Their wins were pretty even, and sure give them the nod because auburn was out of conference, but washingtons loss was to a better team. I think you could pick either one, but I agree OSU should have probably been the four since they didn't win or even play in their conference championship. Something that knocked TCU out a couple years ago. But if you wanted to say they had better wins and a better loss than both Clemson and Washington, so be it, put em at 2. But I just don't see how the justified it the way they did. I truly believe they wanted a repeat.

NTS's point in another thread explains why people do that, and don't think about it. They have been led to believe that OSU is the school of Ohio. They want you to root for them and your particular school (read BGSU, Toledo. UC, OU, etc).
