Exclamation The CFP committee's decisions were doubly unfair to Cincinnati.
.

The 2020 CFP committee demonstrated bias against Cincinnati in two ways - first, by ranking them significantly lower than the Bearcats had been ranked in the AP and Coaches poll for the past several weeks in a row, during which they had remained undefeated, despite the fact that all but two of the teams that they had ranked ahead of Cincy had been defeated at least once.

They then proceeded, "in their wisdom," to force Cincinnati to play Georgia in the Georgia's Peach Bowl of all places. Taking those decisions which intentionally disadvantaged the sole representative of the G5 conferences in the 2020 NY6 bowls - - was an outrageous violation of the guiding NCAA principle of fairness, and, furthermore, a classic example of unsportsmanlike conduct in the NCAA.

.

What makes it most objectionable is that the violation was committed by the CFP committee itself.

There should be a formal motion, during the Annual Congress of the NCAA this month, to set up an inquiry into this matter, paired with a resolution to prevent similar violations of rights in the future.

.

The entire practice of locating crucial bowl and tournament games on the home turf of one of the participating teams should be forbidden, or - in the case of the NCAA tournament - held to an absolute minimum.

.

Cincy played a great game under adverse circumstances. It is no shame, whatsoever, to lose a game on an opponent team's home turf by 3 points on a last second 53-yard field goal.

.

The only shame is that which should be heaped upon the CFP selection committee for their unsportsmanlike conduct. At a minimum, they shouldn't be allowed to remain on the committee going forward.
