Bengals1181 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 great win for the cats tonight, but they shouldn't get too ahead of themselves. The crowd should've waited until next week to storm the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best college teams full of future 1st rounders - take 2001 Miami, for example - would be rolled by a shit unit like the Lions. There's just that much of a difference in size, speed, and complexity.

I'll be happy with that matchup; there are several teams out there I want no part of - USC and Oklahoma, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmanMunster Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 from many people i keep hearing we would go to orange bowl. then from other people i hear we would be going to sugar bowl vs the loser of Alabama-Florida. which is it or are both possible right now? i didnt use to follow college football at all and then i saw the game where Chatman almost did it and ive watched UC since. there hasnt ever been BCS talk until now so i havent cared to follow it closely. if its either then i hope to god its orange bowl cuz the SEC would rape us. we could beat an ACC team.

This is why reps from both the Sugar and Orange Bowls were at Nippert on Saturday, and why West Virginia crushed Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl last year. The ACC champ / surrogate always goes to the Orange Bowl, and I think this would be the easiest matchup for the Cats. However, I think Florida will beat Alabama, and Alabama would be beatable as well. Their 'marquee' wins seemed much more impressive at the time: (9) Clemson, now 6-5 and unrated. (3) Georgia, now #13. (15) LSU, now 7-4 and unrated, and nearly lost to Troy. They beat now-25 Mississippi at home by 4. In many ways, I'd prefer a matchup with Alabama, since this would be a more prized scalp than BC or GA Tech or even FSU, and I'm afraid a matchup of UC and BC wouldn't be able to sell out the Orange Bowl.

The Big East DOES have an automatic BCS bid, it just may not be tied to a specific bowl. Hopefully UC has a strong showing as the Big East contract is coming up and there are many out there who want to take away their BCS automatic bid.
