Before anyone freaks out about my Troll, I'll admit, "under the current rules" I believed Cincinnati deserved their shot in the Playoffs. However, besides me "abiding by or observing the rules", I DO NOT Believe Cincinnati belonged in the NCAA Playoffs, not for a Second!
I believe the Criteria for determining which schools are eligible for the Playoff, should be the old BCS Rules. Meaning, the NCAA/Playoff selection needs to use Strength of Schedule, W/L record and statistician's records like Jeff Sagarin. This way a team like Cincinnati WOULD NOT SNIFF the PLAYOFFS, unless they played a stronger schedule.
Make your argument, but look at their schedule ... https://gobearcats.com/sports/football/schedule/2021
Other than ND, who did Cincinnati play?....a bunch of weak-azz teams from the AAC. In a way, it's good a SEC team destroyed them, but unfortunately it was bama.
So, does anyone really believe Cincinnati deserved a shot?
GO VOLS!!
