Louisiana beats now 7-3 app state 24-21 and jumps up 6 spots?

Whaaaaa. You’d think they’d at least be in the SEC or Big Ten after that W and a jump like that lol.

I think Cincy should have stayed at #7, but it feels like forever since we last played and I think the committee feels the same way.

While I think talent whys Ohio State is #4 they haven’t done a single thing to deserve that ranking.

College Football at its finest outside the surprise of Louisiana Rajun Cajuns!

@Iowa State can kiss Matt Campbell goodbye to Michigan. The perfect fit IMO. Knowing the wolves they’ll prolly F it up.

Does it hurt Tulsa more than UC (outside of maybe an extra game for playoff chances)? Yes

We aren't denying that. UC fans started chirping back the moment others started saying this was a dodge by UC.

This decision was made by The American probably to be extra cautious and yes help ensure UC chances of getting the NYD bowl bid because $$$$$.

I haven't not seen exact numbers or whatever BS contract tracing they are doing to give a fair judgement but I would guess this game could have been played. I know for a fact every coach and player on both teams wants to play. They always do. It sucks!

If UC and their fans would have just owned up to the fact that's it's ultimately their team's fault this game has been canceled twice (no matter who made the cancellation call, it was because of Cincinnati players getting COVID) there wouldn't be as much bad blood. But instead UC has blamed everyone but themselves for this.

Was this actually a dodge by Cincy? I hope not. But whether it was or not, this is a bad look for your program and the conference. To punish a team (whether it had been Tulsa or any other AAC team) by taking away their opportunity to play to host the title game, and automatically giving it to the team that took away that opportunity is just wrong. Anyone can see that.

Anddddd....there it is....again. It's Cincinnati's fault for catching COVID, and therefore they should be panned for it.

UC hasn't blamed anyone for the games being cancelled. UC's COVID issues are the reasoning behind the cancellation, but UC isn't responsible for the decision. They weren't the first time when this game was extremely playable and they aren't now when it is significantly less so. This entire thread is filled with UC fans telling Tulsa fans to stop whining because it's an unfortunate situation, but instead of uniting in universal disappointment, it's been Tulsa fans going scorched earth on UC because they have a bunch of pent up and misdirected anger. It's childish and embarrassing.

Having games cancelled because of a disease that is causing the worst worldwide pandemic in 100 years is not a bad look for our program. There are hundreds of thousands of people catching this every day. These statements are so bonkers I don't even know where to start.

The only thing causing this issue for Tulsa isn't Cincinnati and it isn't the American (as much as I tried to and want to blame them, it isn't)It's because of COVID. It sucks for everyone and has this entire year. For the Tulsa fans to misdirect all their anger at Cincinnati is going to cause the exact reaction your getting. As many others have said, there's a built in sympathy for Tulsa losing this home game that's quickly disappearing because of the nonsense I'm reading today. This 'Woe is me, I'm the only one being affected by this' is total crap and should stop.

Tulsa and most of the other teams in this conference have handled this pandemic fairly well by staying COVID free most of the season and by default protecting those around them. Cincinnati has not. But instead of Cincinnati taking the repercussions of that, Tulsa is. That's the rub.

If you have a reason to believe that the Cincinnati outbreak is due to negligence or recklessness on their part, please provide it. Otherwise, you are making yourself look like a ranting toddler lashing out all because your favorite football team couldn't host a game that would provide very little, if any, home field advantage.

Cincinnati is following the same protocols that the rest of the conference is and has, by far, the most to lose this season as a result of any outbreak considering this is one of the best seasons in school history. You can keep thinking you are 'doing it better' if you want, but the truth is the only thing separating your team from an outbreak is blind luck considering where we are at in the # of cases today.

I’m quite certain any fan of an AAC team would be upset if today’s cancellation happened to their team.

This cancellation definitely benefits Cincinnati. No road game to Tulsa to earn home field advantage, but instead they still get home field advantage by canceling the game. For Tulsa, no chance to earn home field advantage, as well as no senior day.

For Cincinnati fans to act surprised & insulted that Tulsa fans don’t like what happened is absurd.

I think most everyone sees that the AAC office orchestrated this to give Cincinnati their best shot at a P6 bowl, & possibly a playoff spot. I understand the economics, but I don’t respect the decision.

BTW, while I agree home field advantage is reduced considerably because of COVID, it’s still an advantage. If it was zero advantage, Cincinnati would have offered to have Tulsa host it.

I already provided the reason I think Cincy has been negligent. Many many other teams have avoided causing multiple cancellations while Cincy has not. They're doing something wrong or are insanely unlucky. If you think Tulsa, UCF, ECU, Navy, SMU, and USF being able to stay clean most of the season is all only pure luck then I'm afraid you're mistaken. They worked at it and got it done.

Furthermore, if you have to keep name calling to defend your argument then you probably don't have one.

If you can't see how Tulsa got screwed in all this and Cincy benefitted then you may need to remove your black colored glasses. Even UCF fans are calling this a sham and they don't particularly like us.

Not a single person here can have any effect on decisions the conference makes, sorry. However, wishing every player on an unpaid college team (who also have no say in the decision) is truly a pathetic trait of a human being.

All because things didn't go your way. Embarrassing.

The Tulsa admin was not responsible for the 1st game being canceled. You all keep saying that but it's not true.

Sorry, but I’m going to take Chad Brendel’s word over yours. His record speaks for itself and if he says the league cancelled at the request of Tulsa and further UC was within protocol and ready and willing to play that game, then I’m going to believe him until someone shows evidence to the contrary.

Jesse already went over this, post #73 in this thread. So we'll take the official word when it happened:

This just in - Tulsa can't play in Cincinnati on (checks notes) December 19 because [reasons]. The tie break rule I just made up is how many games each team canceled against the other this season. You can mail the championship trophy to 800 S. Tucker Drive Tulsa, OK 74104.

FOOTBALL AND MENS BASKETBALL AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!

Flagship.

Etc.

Seriously though, canceling 2 games @ Tulsa and then hosting the championship game @ Cincy is weak sauce. I'm not buying into the conspiracy theories (I don't think Tulsa can do its usually game "plan" and still win against Cincy), but I think it does work out well for Cincy and the league, and not so well for Tulsa.

Over the word of Cincy hack who is trying to cover because the BeaverCats are scared to lose at Tulsa and not make a NY6

That doesn’t prove anything except there were cases in Cincinnati, which isn’t disputed. That said, the team was reportedly within the protocol limits and willing to play the game but it was cancelled at the request of Tulsa.

Nobody is scared to play Tulsa, but sure keep living in your dream world and making your fanbase look like fools with wishing other teams players get injured because your fanbase can’t handle playing at Nip and want to throw a temper tantrum like a child.

It proves it was Cincy with the issue and the problem, not Tulsa or Tulsa's president.

You literally can provide zero proof you could play. The official announcement says you could not.

Which again goes back to how is it that Cincy is the the one AAC school who hasn't been able to play multiple games because of Covid? What is everyone else doing that you aren't?

Now as to how this has all worked out, much like our idiotic scheduling before the double round robin in basketball, this has Aresco and the AAC brass' fingerprints all over it. As usual though the execution was f'd and the committee gave both UC and Tulsa a slap in cfp rankings tonight to remind the AAC the P6 thing is cute but know your place. The brains should have kept their mouths shut till after the new rankings and let the committee paint itself in a corner. The conference leadership has a bad habit of outsmarting itself.

The game will be played in Cincy, but it is very likely that with out a game both Cincy and Tulsa will fall in the rankings. Which means Tulsa will be unranked and Coastal will be in position to jump Cincy. Well done Aresco, we went from a possible play off position to possibly no NY6. Likely while finishing ahead of the big 12 and the PAC in the Massey Composite ranking.

OT. How amazing that UCF had no games affected.

UC can travel to Tulsa or play Tulsa in a neutral location like Dallas. Or most likely, COVID out of the championship game altogether.

We'll be here on the 19th. Game starts at 8:00. Swing by, if you'd like.

Kinda cool though.

It's been a Tulsa-[insert AAC school] pissing match all season long!

Cuz we beat every one of you we played. Everybody is upset cuz they lost to lowly Tulsa.

You need to be very thankful to the refs. If they would have called the game correctly you wouldn't be in this position crying today. I'm glad they canceled. You deserve what you're getting.

I haven't read this entire thread so excuse me if this has been mentioned. I think that the AAC should work with the Big10 and find a way to match Cincy vs Ohio state. It could basically function as a play in game. If Cincy wins great, top 4 ranking ahead of playing Tulsa ONLY ONCE in the CCG. Ohio state wins they get to their required number of games by beating the highest ranked team they would have played all season. Makes sense to me but maybe I'm wrong. One thing for certain is that I'd like to see Aresco atleast try something outside of the box to help the conference p6 goals.
