I saw an article on ESPN asking whether or not Cincinnati really belonged in the playoffs after what Alabama did to them on Friday.
Let me say this, they went undefeated in the regular season the last 2 years they gave Georgia all they wanted in their bowl game last year, the only other program that had any kind of argument of getting in the playoff after the final rankings was Notre Dame who Cincinnati beat at Notre Dame during the regular season. So despite getting pummeled by 'bama Cincinnati did earn their way to the college football playoff.
Who else were they going to put in? Notre Dame? We all saw what Alabama did to Notre Dame last year and to be honest if they(Alabama) played Notre Dame again this year the game would have been even worse than what they did to Cincinnati!
Alabama is a beast that few if any teams in college football are equipped to deal with for 4 quarters, the only team I could think of that has a chance of giving Alabama a game at this juncture when Alabama is bringing their A game is Georgia and the Bulldogs would have to bring their A+ game just to have a chance.
