Watching Pitt-Cincy right now

[Fiyero]

This 2004 Utah all over again unless Nebraska upsets today. That has to suck for TCU.

Trivia, in 2004 there were 28 bowl games and Utah was the largest favorite of any bowl at -14 (which they doubled, winning 35-7). I wonder if Vegas will do the same to TCU.

Unbelievable game. I feel bad for the place holder.

If Texas loses today would Cincy jump TCU and play for the championship?

Mel Kiper said that Cincy would have a better argument based on body of work. If it is an Alabama/Florida vs. Texas final, I want to see a TCU/Cincy match up. Might as well show the strength of the MWC over the Big East.

Bigger body of work? People give the Big East too much credit. They're best win after today's is Oregon State.

Everyone is talking about Cincy jumping TCU.

Wait! We need to stop talking about the BCS in this thread, focus back on this game, and start a new thread for bowl matchups!

Well done, FM.

Which is a heap of B.S.

Cincinnati's last four games, they've given up 45, 21, 36, and 44. TCU's given up more than 20 twice.

Cincinnati's offense has been held under 30 points four times; TCU's been held under 30 twice.

Cincy is a BCS school though and has to play that BCS conference schedule.

Seriously, if Nebraska pulls out the upset and anyone but TCU is playing Bama for the championship I am going to make like LA Ute responding to Max Hall's comments.

Yeah this whole discussion makes me want TCU's season to result in a complete ass-smashing of Cincy. That, for me, is the most intriguing matchup, despite my feeling that TCU deserves WAY better.

Sagarin's ELO Chess model though has Cincy ahead of TCU.

How are you going to feel when Cincy spanks that ass and shows that the talk of the MWC is just that...talk.

I'll tell you sincerely when that happens. But I rarely am wrong on stuff like this.
