📡 🏆 CFP Selection Show (and bowls) #1 Bama vs #4 Cincy in the semi's (UM vs UGA)

[PurlJam]

I'll be honest. Not sure Georgia would beat Michigan if that's the matchup. I dont believe Bennett is a QB that is capable of carrying the Dawgs when they need it.

So what do y'all think would have happened if Oklahoma State had won? Who would have been left out? Georgia, Cincinnati or Oklahoma State

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

1. Alabama
2. Michigan
3. Georgia
4. Cincy

Alabama will open up against Cincy in Arlington

Another Home game!!

Ole Miss and Baylor in the Sugar. I like that. The Rose Bowl has the makings of an interesting game.

Pitt vs Notre Dame in the Orange? I think the Irish have a tie-in there.

Like i said in another thread. It a Home game!

I am and I am not surprised Bama is #1. That is the medias best chance to get Bama to lose a game.

So what do y'all think would have happened if Oklahoma State had won? Who would have been left out? Georgia, Cincinnati or Oklahoma State

OK State, JMHO They played a tough 2 loss team, but the pressure was on for Cincy to be in it

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

The Alabama-Cincinnati game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT on Dec. 31.

We will be prognosticating this for awhile!

 

[Bama Guy]

Well, Cincinnati finally gets their wish, to play with the big boys. Be careful what you wish for.

 

[PurlJam]

Whew… UAB playing BYU in the Independence Bowl…IMO, that will be ugly. Mormons will open a can and pour it all over them.

 

[bamaledge]

Maybe someone can start a game thread for cincy

I made it about 4 minutes into the CFP selection show before I dumped it for a King of the Hill episode. I guess it was about 30 minutes of talking about nothing before they finally unveiled the teams. Selection shows remain the worst.

Anyway, if I was the Bowl Czar and got to pick the matchups and only had to abide by the top 4, it would look like this...

Cotton: Cincy vs. Alabama
Orange: Georgia vs. Michigan

Sugar: Ole Miss vs. Ohio State
Rose: Utah vs. Baylor
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Notre Dame
Peach: Oklahoma State vs Arkansas
Citrus: Michigan St vs. Texas A&M
Outback: Kentucky vs. NC State
Music City: Iowa vs. Pittsburgh
Vegas: BYU vs Penn State
Gator: Oregon vs. Mississippi State
Alamo Bowl: UTSA vs. ULL
Liberty: Tennessee vs. Clemson
Cheez-it: Liberty vs. Florida
Sun: Purdue vs. Miami
Arizona: UCLA vs. Missouri
Fenway: Iowa State vs. Minnesota
Texas: LSU vs. SDSU
Military: Wake Forest vs. Arizona State
Pinstripe: Army vs. South Carolina
Duke's: North Carolina vs. Wisconsin
First Responder: Air Force vs. Appy State
Birmingham: UCF vs. auburn


Don't care about the others, too many bowl games. I'm sure I left some obvious teams out, but too bad for them.

I was thinking the same thing.

Here's the actual (more boring), matchups....

I don't see many games I want to watch before NYE. NC State I always watch due to my wife (her dad went there), same with South Carolina (she grew up there and pulls for them outside of Bama games) and of course SC is playing NC and she hates the Tar Heels.
