Evidence against Cincinnati:  a game against Tulsa improves their schedule. 
No.  No, no, no.  That should be like the 6th or 8th or 10th-best team you play in a year.  Tulsa should never be a big feather in your cap. 
both statements are true

If Cincy gets in and the loses 63-3, the next few years could change.
They already "got in" last year.    
42 Ohio State
3   Cincinnati

In 02, Cincinnati was one dropped TD pass away from upsetting the NC Buckeyes.

Would be fourth for A&M, same for Florida once they play Bama. Fifth for Bama, however.

Naw, just six or seven teams that year. They smoked Texas Tech, Kent State and Washington State to open the season, then the Cincinnati game was the first of several close games. All told they won 7 games by double digits, most of which were rather one sided.

(That was meant to be lighthearted. I liked that 2002 team a good bit)

When I get some time, maybe around Christmas, I'll go through and see what teams in Whoa Nellie are most similar throughout history, in terms of per-play.  Might find some surprises. 


A lot of pass-happy teams were very pedestrian per attempt.

I don't see a "legit" Number Four that is much different from Cincinnati.  At least they undefeated in this scenario.  Is there some other team with a decent chance to upset Alabama right now?

Meh, bring in the the new guy and let him get trounced.

Yeah, well who isn't going to get trounced in that 4 spot?  Iowa State?  A&M?
