Beating one top 25 team does not make Cincinnati #1. I could see them at #3 at best, now they get their chance to prove they belong to beat Alabama and prove they are worthy of the playoff spot. I would like to see the Bearkats win, it would be great for college football. It would help sell playoff expansion and that nonpower 5 schools can compete with the top-level programs.

I would like to see the Bearkats win, it would be great for college football. It would help sell playoff expansion and that nonpower 5 schools can compete with the top-level programs. So the logic is that three one loss teams (two SEC and one Big 10) deserve to be ahead of an undefeated team? Cincinnati beat Top 25 Notre Dame and Houston. Alabama lost to Texas A&M 8 weeks ago and struggled last week with Auburn. Michigan lost to Michigan State. Alabama does not deserve to leapfrog #2 Michigan to #1.

Seriously 🤔. I guess the powers that be told Georgia to tank the game against Alabama🙄 Who would you put in there to replace an SEC team? Notre Dame? Baylor? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They have Alabama #1 over Michigan and Georgia #3 to make sure it was not an Alabama vs. Georgia rematch in the semifinals. Hmmm... So state your problem with this? Each team has a chance to make it to the show or not. Is your beef that you don't want 2 SEC teams playing for the title if they both win? I say let the best team win and if that means both win their semi-final game then there is no question about who the best 2 teams are!

Alabama does not deserve to leapfrog #2 Michigan to #1. lol So, your only argument is the seeding and who plays who in the semis? Is this correct? Or, is it that you really think Cincy is the #1 team in the land? They are in which means they get a chance to prove they belong at the very least. If they get blown out then what? You keep talking about a&m beating AL and the Tide struggling with Auburn and such. OK, I get that but how do you think either Cincy or Mich does playing Alabama's conference schedule? I don't think either comes away with just one loss.

At a minimum it should be #1 Michigan vs. #4 Cincinnati and #2 Alabama vs. #3 Georgia. Now that makes the most sense for those that don't think Cincinnati belongs over Alabama, Georgia or Michigan??? Michigan was #2 and soundly won on Saturday. Alabama does not deserve to leapfrog Michigan. Thus the SEC bias once again.

I don't think either comes away with just one loss. Seeding and matchups do matter. I know that you are not that ignorant. And Cincinnati does deserve the #1 Seed. So why are you against an Alabama vs. Georgia rematch/matchup??? Cincinnati did beat everyone in front of them. Alabama, Michigan and Georgia did not. Notre Dame and Houston are not fluff wins either.

You clearly don't like the SEC because of their dominance just like a bunch of others so the debate is NOT worth having. The bottom line is if Cincy and or Michigan are good enough to win it all then let them show it in the semis and beat Al & Georgia. If not, then we have an all SEC title game and a rematch of Saturday's SEC title game. I get it, you just don't want to see an all SEC title game which is probably about a 75% chance of happening! ROLMAO Nothing new to see here.....just the SEC winning yet ANOTHER BCS title.

Should be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 in a four team single elimination tournament.

So IMO they got the games right just not the seeding correct! #1 Michigan #2 Cincinnati #3 Alabama #4 Georgia I truly feel that Georgia is going to win it all however!

I agree that the four teams are correct. The ranking order in my opinion really does that matter. We all know damn well they were not going to do a rematch with Bama and Georgia in the semifinal. They need to sell tickets and get TV ratings, money does matter like it or not. If I was a fan of those two schools I'm not forking over my money for a semifinal rematch three weeks after we just played. I would just wait to see who won and then buy the finals ticket if my team advanced. Cincinnati would be the underdog in all three matchups regardless of their ranking. If you don't like that the SEC has two teams then go talk to Baylor and Okie St about why they lost to such powerhouses like TCU and Iowa St. Or tell the PAC & ACC to get their head out of their bunghole and build up their programs. The strength of schedule, the conference, and quality wins still matter. 2021 Strength of schedule 8 Alabama 12-1 SEC 22 Michigan 12-1 Big Ten 32 Georgia12-1 SEC 78 Cincinnati 13-0 American powerrankingsguru.com/college-football/strength-of-schedule.php

Georgia had nothing to gain in beating Alabama. They knew the worst they would finish is 4th seed with one loss. Alabama wins and the SEC then assured of 2 teams in the CFP. Had nothing to do with Okie State or Baylor.

They make them the most money. Yankees do the same for baseball and in the nba... well who cares.

I would be willing to bet a lot of money that if Cincinnati were in the SEC or Big 10, they would have a loss maybe more. Let it play out. They are in. All they have to do is win.
