Cincinnati Is The Real Deal
- Thread starter Fryowa
- Start date
Cincy has a lot of really good talent and Indiana had a chance to get them but couldnt keep the first half momentum going. Teams like Indiana more so than Iowa just cant stay out of their own way. But Indiana did show me they are a good team and they may have a losing record.
I do place a little bit of credence in comparative scores if they are played close together on the calendar. Just the fact that Cincy was even with Indiana for 3 qtrs and are now handling ND which handled Purdue leads me to believe Purdue just isnt very good this year which was confirmed by them losing at home to the rodents. Yikes
A little home cooking on a neutral zone infraction by the defense called a false start. Maybe the colleges do not have an inducement penalty.

Cini looks good. Standford beating the ducks so could be number 4 vs number 3 in Iowa City next weekend.
The talk was winner of Cincinnati/ND would jump Iowa. All the favorites destroyed their competition today, and Iowa's performance might keep them at 5, but the dilution of votes over 3 - 7 are going to make for some random swapping, and dropping of PSU and Iowa, I think.
PSU edged out Iowa by 7 points last week. Oregon was nearly 100 points ahead of them. I expect cincy to get votes for 1 - 6 this week (they will get #1 votes by G5 media, they know Cincy is the only teamthat can make the playoffs, and AP position matters in the first CFP polls), and Oregon to get 3 - 7. The dilution of votes will lead to Iowa and Penn State and Oregon dropping spots and Cincy going to 3, IMHO. Especially if Indiana does well tonight. None of that will matter at the end of the season. B1G winner will go to the CFP.

Stanford/Oregon kinda messed that "all the favorites..." thing up.
Ok. The end of the Oregon game was basically a miracle. It's going to be Cincy, Psu, Iowa.
I watched that train wreck live. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It was absolutely ISU-like.Stanford/Oregon kinda messed that "all the favorites..." thing up.
It's not about who I think is better. It's about conference politics, and AP voter affiliations.
You can see voter distributions every week. They're published. Iowa has a wide variance.

Notre Dame is over rated but AP voters love them
