Yup… so they switched the order between UM and UGA that I predicted but it still resulted in the same matchup.
No knock on Bama but the CFP is clearly showing the Group of Five teams don’t belong in the CFP. I’ll obviously be pulling for UC but even if Bama wins but it’s a close game it would be one of the few moral victories in football.
The CFP Committee should be ashamed of themselves and I hope it bites them in the ass.

Lol…he’s still thinking on that one. I think he’ll root for the defense. That’s what I do when the Redskins play the Raiders.
And to the being about Cincinnati part … I agree. Cincinnati has nothing to lose and you can bet they’ll pull out all the stops to try to win … or at least keep it close to try to prove they belong.

“Pull for” would be to strong a term. My expectations are that those Northern Stanky Oversized Weasels defend the BIG10’s honor so I’m pretty sure to be disappointed.
What I really like though is Bama, for the first time ever in the BCS/CFP era, would be playing a post season game where the opponent essentially has the home field advantage. That should be interesting though I don’t think it will be to big of an advantage and considering how long it’s been since michigan has had a Championship caliber team, the stanky weasels in that State Up North will pay dearly to attend the game so it will largely be a pro Weasel crowd.
That is a huge turnaround BIG10 fans are going to appreciate. We have long bitched up here that we essentially have played SEC teams in the post season where they have always had a home field advantage, so that’s a nice change to be playing at Indy.

Meh I hear what you’re saying but you do understand just how often things like playing USC in the Rose Bowl or Playing LSU in the Sugar Bowl has happened to us so it’s nice to see a turn about for a change though I would agree in most cases Home Field advantage isn’t as significant as it post season play as it is in the regular season, though for BIG10 there has been quite a few times where our opponents flat out had a home field advantage in the post season. It doesn’t happen all the time but often enough.
Having said that, I’ve never used that as an excuse for losing.

No, you have not used that as an excuse.
To me Home Field advantage is about playing at home. The rest is just a matter of your fans and supporters making the trip. Before Saban came to Bama we played a bowl game in Hawaii. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 Bama fans went to the game. They dominated.

Third Mater Dei kid to win the Heisman. And to think he was verbally committed to Clay Doh Helton at one point. It’s painful to say but Mr. Young pretty clearly seems to have made the right decision going to ‘Bama. He’s an outstanding man and well deserving.
