AAC Championship Game Today

[DfromCT]

For some reason, I get the feeling Houston is going to spoil Cinci's party. It would be a fitting last game in the conference for the Bearcats to blow their chance to represent not only the AAC, but the entire G5 in the ESPN Invitational Tournament. Maybe I've been a Green Wave fan for too long, thinking that the G5 is about to get Tulane'd by Cincinnati.

I would like to see UH win, but for greed's sake, and "greed is good" according to Gordon Geko, Tulane needs a share of the BCS money, so they can extend and overpay their under performing coaching staffs

Cincy Bearcats 35, Houston Coogs 20 - CHA-CHING!!!

...Tulane needs a share of the BCS money,

Ah yes the reminder of the first BCS when the nation got the first whiff of relegation of the 60+ teams not in the BCS. and We were undefeated.

The present system does put schools in a conflict of interest (COI), when it is in their better interest to lose and get CFP money, though I am not sure how that is divided amongst the AAC member schools, should a member , in this case Cincy, get into the CFP.

More chalk, Yawn, Ive seen this movie before., Pulling for The Maize and Blue and maybe the Dawgs. ("Run Lindsey, Run!") . I think i saw them play in the Sugar Bowl with Herschel.

If ND had been selected over Cincy, we should have lit the torches and headed for ESPN headquarters.

And in an unrelated topic, even though Georgia lost, I think Georgia's TE Brock Bowers had one of the most impressive football games ever played. Absolutely unstoppable and the polar opposite of Tulane receivers... he has hands like flypaper.

Question, who's the better team, 2021 Cincinnati or 2017 UCF?

Also, did Cincinnati having already accepted an invite to the Big 12 give the committee an out, saying they're basically P5 anyway?

To answer your questions, I think UCF was better. They could score with anyone as they showed in beating Auburn in bowl game. Cincy easy to defend as we played them a good game.
No I don’t think committee took that approach. They tried everything they could to keep Cincy out, Big 12 be damned.

"Nonetheless, it's us. And we're not carrying the flag for anybody but the UC Bearcats, our community, our campus, our university."

Bet their tune would have been different if they had NOT been selected by the Big 12.
