Probably a tough line to set - have to account for all the rubes who would take Alabama -75

Think about it - the line is 13.5 with Bama's top pass-catcher out.

What am I thinking about? Alabama was a 19.5 point favorite last year against Notre Dame

That was a much better Tide team, wasn't it?


I'm not sure what you expect to happen, aside from the obvious.  Yay!  Cincinnati got their participation trophy!  At the expense of being impaled on a baseball bat in front of 15 million people!

Top pass catcher out? Jameson Williams?

Metchie is their #2 WR. Jameson Williams is their go to guy. You know, the same guy that was 4th string at Ohio State.

?? Is your point that Notre Dame and Ohio State shouldn't have been given a chance last year, because they were both impaled by a baseball bat in front of 15 million people? Should every game we think might be a blowout not be played? Seriously - what is the point here?

I'm glad UC got in the mix, come what may.  See what they have.  I think they are better than some credit them, but not as good as the good Bama team.

Man, worst Bama team in what? Six, seven years? Still get the one seed? 

That's quite a machine that Saban has going there.

might as well be a 1st round bye.

It is a first round bye. Cincinnati doesn't have a single player who would start on any of the other three CFP teams.

I'm rooting for the midget

All Michigan fans are as well

Pretty much everyone that is  not a Roll Tide fan is rooting for the bearcats
Nope, not if you are thinking ahead. 

Cincinnati's inclusion is an absolute joke but it also deprived a legitimate team of a spot. If yours is a P5 team then you want Bama to massacre Cincy because next time the legitimate contender deprived of a spot to make room for some joke G5 team could be your P5 team.
