So looking over the schedule it looks like the best match up will likely be Tulsa vs Cincinatti or Miami vs UNC. Miami has been part of four games days already, not sure they want to go there. Michigan (2-4) vs OSU (5-0) and USC (3-0) vs UCLA (3-2) are the other likely contenders.

I think we get it (so long as the game isn't canceled). Tulsa should be ranked anywhere from #18-20 with the teams that lost ahead of them this week and Cincy should remain at #7.

Unfortunately I doubt it'll happen. I think you two deserve it 100%,but I've noticed a worrisome silence towards Cincy. To me it seems like BYU and CCU have been getting some much coverage and media love as a way to ignore the scary thought of a 7th ranked Cincy actually sneaking in. Ignoring Cincy now eases the backlash for when the AAC once again gets screwed out of the playoffs,,,,,so no I don't think that they are going to give Cincy the same type of platform to prove that they belong they just gave BYU. It's a shame.

Should this game get it? Yes

But it will be Miami/UNC

I agree with this line of thinking. Cincy definitely getting the cold shoulder.
And just waiting to hear some P5 ass-licker remind us of the last time Cincy played Ohio State.

Sucks.

I think and hope you get it.
Undefeated vs a 1 loss, with real CFP and NY6 implications.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cincy doesn't lose some points in the AP pollsters ballots while CCU makes a big jump in order to put them in an position to jump Cincy in case of a slip or even winning against Tulsa in an unimpressive sloppy game. Cincy and the AAC are the "bad guys" because we're a threat to the establishment and Coastal is the media darlings because they are the feel good little guy that is a 0% threat. However I think it would be awesome if you can get Gameday.

Gameday has never been to Tulsa. Hopefully they will want to check us off their list.

I'm honestly surprised.

Not even sure how much of the Brigade will bus up. Logistics of this, given NY State's qurantine rules...

Really disappointed in this one. 2 average/below average teams. The tulsa Cincy game has NY6 implications (as does unc/miami)

I think the silence has more to do with Cincy's 3 week absence as opposed to anything else. Beating Tulsa will put them right back in the convo as far as the media is concerned

This is really disappointing. I guess they could show up for the AAC title game, but probably won't.

Told you. They are not going to give Cincy type of a platform this close to decision time Especially considering it would actually turn into 2 great weeks of publicity with the champ game. Oh well

I am beyond surprised by this, there are several good match ups on the Disney controlled networks.

As far as next week? Nope that will go to the ACC or SEC championship game, they have made some odd choices this season. This would have been the week if they picked one since it's our first meeting and a guarenteed top 25 match up.

No offense to the Navy vs Army game, it is an American tradition like no other. Hopefully Navy puts the whooping on them.

And now the games are on at the same time. (3ET for America's game and 4ET for the American Game)

How fu(*DIng dumb.
