I'll bet my bottom $$ that CLF has his sights set higher.

NY6 games and positioning for conference realignment. Losing in Columbus helps neither of those, while winning there vs somewhere else makes little difference. Especially only winning maybe 1 out of 10.

Playing elite programs on the road is a recipe for disaster. Even Boise State during their run didn’t have great success on the road against top of line power programs. UCF, Houston, and Boise State did most of their best work at home or at neutral sites.

Basically UC needs to get back to the big stage in the post season because that provides the best opportunity to change the perception of the program.

What do you think the national perception of the Bearcats handling UCLA? Now what is it in primetime Saturday getting curb stomped on national TV? It will hurt the inroads the CLF has been making in the state.

OSU may have one hickup game against a lesser team every 3 years. Just like at Purdue, it was a road game. If UC can't get some of these blue blood teams in PBS or Nippert, then forget them. These 1 off games against them are not worth it imho.

I think I said these games are season killers. Too many of these are program killers. Anyway i feel bad for Miami who probably gets a beat down from an angry team.

I think that game will be more competitive than we expect. UC is banged up and it is a rivalry game. UC's talent as evidenced by today isn't much above MAC talent.
