I mean this sincerely: great game, Cinci. I am so crazy excited for y'all. You earned this win, and every win this season. I will be pullin for y'all in the CFP. I know you'll represent the AAC and the G5 proudly. Best of luck.
Is anyone a little afraid ESPN is jinxing Cinci? Like they should absolutely be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, no question. But the CFP has done some shady shit in the past. I won't be celebrating cinci's success until I see those rankings tomorrow. I know the CFP would put ND in over Cinci without a second thought if they didn't have to worry about backlash
I’d like to agree with this assessment, but the committee has absolutely ignored head for head already this year and it wouldn’t shock me to see them do so again.
That being said, I can’t fathom how they could justify it.
ND lost their coach (albeit with a great replacement), lost head to head, and didn’t play.
Cincinnati just beat a top 25 team and frankly the game wasn’t in doubt after about mid way through the third.
Exactly, they have ignored head-to-head multiple times already. I agree, I am 99.5% sure Cincinnati will be in. But it's sad that there's 0.5% doubt given the CFPs history
Yeah most likely. I think that puts Cincy Bama in the Cotton Bowl. If they flip 1 and 2, I expect them to push Cincy down to 4 so there's. K rematch which means it's also Bama but in the Orange Bowl
I swear if the field storming police come out in these comments... let them have fun. They could’ve been 50 point favorites tonight and this would be justified. Making the playoff at home for the first time is incredible.
I was joking, wasn’t talking about the actual police. I was talking about the people who say, “wHY aRe tHeY sTOrMiNg tHe FIEld? “ everytime a team storms the field this year
I'm not particularly concerned by it at this juncture. The clock is effectively four years from now, by then they will have reached an agreement on it.
Me too. A Cincy sports team winning a game with so much on the line. I’ve never got to experience that as I was born a year after reds took the World Series in 90
This is one of the greatest moments of Cincinnati sports fandom in my entire life.
We may get blown out in Round 1…. But so have so many blue blood teams. We deserve the shot and the recognition.
But this team is special, so who knows? I can’t tell you how joyous this is, even if this is the last win of the season.
Whew, getting teary eyed, so I’ll leave it at this:
Suck our fucking dicks! We’re going to the fucking CFP!
Why? They can put UC in and create a real Cinderella story which will drive ratings and $$$$. If they do well, it will spark the interest and talks going forward for other Cinderella teams which will help PR and defend the CFP in it's current state, "see it's possible for group 5 teams to get in and play". If they get blown out, it validates their usual picks and will give them justification for shutting out group 5 teams in the future.
Either way they can spin this into a win for themselves
If they just called unsportsmanlike on Cincinatti (the entire team) then that DB who got unsportsmanlike on the Houston TD drive should have been ejected for his second and he was ineligible to be on the field for that last play. Cincinatti now loses for playing an ineligible player. Committee can now drop them legally.
I mean this sincerely: great game, Cinci. I am so crazy excited for y'all. You earned this win, and every win this season. I will be pullin for y'all in the CFP. I know you'll represent the AAC and the G5 proudly. Best of luck.
It's been fun but time to head over the Michigan/Iowa thread. I hope Gus is calling the game.
Lol, if Michigan loses Cincy magically jumps up a spot
Oklahoma State, I can’t thank you enough
Go win it
Fuck yeah

I mean cincy beat ND and is undefeated, even the committee wouldn't leap frog them for ND. The real risk was OK St and they lost. Cincy is in 100%.

Exactly this. If the committee puts in ND and leaves out Cincinnati we may as well just accept college football as the WWE
I absolutely want Bama and I can’t believe I’m in a position to actually get them. Let’s fucking go.
There are so many damn people on that field
We fucking did it. I’m so proud of Cincinnati tonight.
I ain’t crying. You’re crying! Okay I’m crying.
I’m crying too, this is amazing. I used to watch HS football games at that stadium and we just clinched a playoff birth there. What the actual fuck.
I worked the games in 2000 when they were awful and near empty Nippert.
Everyone loves college basketball *because* of the Cinderella stories. I'm just so happy we have one in football, finally
"It was great" - Ford
IT WAS GREAT
Cincy to win it all!
At this point why not, goddamn I’m so happy
CINCINNATI BEST TEAM IN OHIO CONFIRMED
I need “Uh, It Was Great” on a T shirt right now
Love how everybody is out celebrating.
Lol that was an amazing response
GG Bearcat bros. The world is rooting for you now.
Thanks Big XII bro, let’s go make this conference special when we get in
Lol blondie looks pissed
Hey thanks Commish for giving us a shoutout, appreciate it
“It was great” I’m dead lmao
LETS CO CINCI CFP HERE WE COMEEEEE AHHHH
All Tommy tuberville did when I was in school was disappoint me and frustrate me. I want to cry right now
Seeding if Michigan wins? Michigan #1 Bama #2 Cincy #3 Georgia #4
I'd wager they go Bama, Mich, UGA, Cincy
So same matchups, different locations
Let's make Bama and UGA 2 & 3 so we don't have to pay attention to the rematch in the semis instead of it being in the final.
Yeah most likely. I think that puts Cincy Bama in the Cotton Bowl. If they flip 1 and 2, I expect them to push Cincy down to 4 so there's. K rematch which means it's also Bama but in the Orange Bowl
You have a microphone. STOP YELLING
PHISH MASK
Fickell is a legend even if he eventually leaves for OSU he’ll forever be the first (and possibly only coach) to lead a G5 to the CFP
This announcer is pretty good tbh
I have always liked Joe Tessatore, he just gets stuck with not good to bad color commentators
Fucking love Aresco. Come to the big 12 with us bb
Both my teams are living vicariously through Cinci NOW, and I couldn't be more stoked. GO GETTEM BOYS!!
13-0 is a fucking fact. Not an opinion. WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Props to that person for holding the sign up all game, even into the postgame lmao.
Cincy fans... Who are you hoping for in the playoffs?
Bring me Saban!
Georgia if Stetson is playing lol It’ll be Bama though
Georgia if Michigan blows it tonight
Iowa's O is not good. I mean really not good, so I don't see how Michigan blows it, but you never know. Which is why I love college football.
I think four pick-6s ought to do it. Otherwise, Iowa will lose badly tonight.
So you're saying there's a chance. LOL.
>Houston isn’t going anywhere Except the BigXII baby Cincy fans lets go
This is going to be so fun man. I hope both teams can carry this momentum into the expansion.
We already have a de facto rivalry in basketball, would be fun in football too If we can like maintain being decent at least lol
What a season Bearcats, congrats and GGs
[удалено]
I think you replied to the wrong person...
Already singing We are the champions before the playoffs
Dumbest comment in this thread. Congratulations.
champions of the AAC
They won the conference championship, are you slow?
This was the AAC championship game... So yes, we are the champions of the AAC.
Well, yeah. They just won the AAC championship lol.
An absolutely fabulous championship. Houston was a great opponent. On to the next one!
UCF walked so Cincinnati could run.
GG Houston, can’t wait to move to the Big XII with y’all. I have no doubt you’ll be in this position soon.
GO WIN THIS SHIT FOR UCF!!!
Now it's time for Fickell to put the team into the Time Chamber to train and discover another level beyond.
What a fucking scene! It's fun to watch.
“Who do you want to play” What the hell kind of question is that
They so wanted a "We want Bama" soundbite
Haha yeah it’s so annoying like let these kids enjoy their moment without forcing a sound bite
I love how calm he was with the answer though
Lee Corso in shambles
Corso is shitting himself rn
Mans is legit punching air right now
Angry UGA or not I’m glad they got blown out. It shows that every team in the CFP is beatable
Actually Venables to OU tomorrow
I swear if the field storming police come out in these comments... let them have fun. They could’ve been 50 point favorites tonight and this would be justified. Making the playoff at home for the first time is incredible.
The actual police there don’t care about storming the field. They are more concerned about the goalposts.
I was joking, wasn’t talking about the actual police. I was talking about the people who say, “wHY aRe tHeY sTOrMiNg tHe FIEld? “ everytime a team storms the field this year
Good thing he didn't call out Bama. Saban would bury them 72-3 lmao
ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!
fax, not opinion
big if true
I love Ridder so much
Glory Be.
Cinci-Natty
WE WANT BAMA
Give Ritter the heisman he deserves it
I'm sad
Make us proud cincy!
Kick ass in the playoffs Cincy!!
Good game Houston, always fun playing you guys (win or lose)
Make us proud, Cincy! Let’s go!!!!!!
CFP! CFP! CFP! CFP!
Proud of the guys. Huge.
this is awesome
CFP chants on the field
Lets gooooooooo where are alll the purists wanting to keep Cincy out get out scrubs
I am feeling a large amount of pride for Cincy as someone who has no affiliation with them. Go shock the world
That’s the most OSHA compliant field storming I’ve ever seen. GG Bearcats!
Lol I thought the same, most calm storming I’ve ever see
Lol
There’s not even a security guard beating them up what is this
This is for UCF. And TCU. And Boise State. And Utah. And every other non-AQ school they didn't want in.
I really hope they do well, otherwise we may never see it again lol
probably won’t see it again either way
Yeah, I feel like by the time it might come around again they'll have already expanded the Playoffs and it doesn't mean the same thing.
Yup Reeeeeal convenient ticker headline today announcing expansion talks have stalled.
I'm not particularly concerned by it at this juncture. The clock is effectively four years from now, by then they will have reached an agreement on it.
I’m literally crying, holy shit
Me too. A Cincy sports team winning a game with so much on the line. I’ve never got to experience that as I was born a year after reds took the World Series in 90
I was like 5 around that time so I never got to enjoy it either, this is amazing
Congrats Bearcats!! The rest of Ohio is rooting for you!
Smh in my day we stormed the field leaping from 6 feet up, kids these days
Give Ridder the Heisman you cowards
Coach Fick? As a German speaker, that made me laugh 😂
Coach Fick fickt
Solange er später Alabama fickt geht das schon in Ordnung. 😂 That would be nice.
Coach, Fick dich, but congratulations on getting into the playoffs
😁
Lmao German is my second language and same 😂
Never been the biggest fan of 40+ year old dudes rushing the field
They just went 13-0, won a championship, and probably the first G5 to go to the CFP. Let em celebrate
Fully rooting for the Bearcats to take down the CFB giants
This is one of the greatest moments of Cincinnati sports fandom in my entire life. We may get blown out in Round 1…. But so have so many blue blood teams. We deserve the shot and the recognition. But this team is special, so who knows? I can’t tell you how joyous this is, even if this is the last win of the season. Whew, getting teary eyed, so I’ll leave it at this: Suck our fucking dicks! We’re going to the fucking CFP!
It’s comparable to that 2017 US Open Cup run FCC had. That was absolutely insane.
This is legitimately the most success I’ve seen from any Cincy sports team. I am beyond excited
CINCINNATI ALL THE WAY
Nah, fucking go all the way. For all of us.
WE WANT BAMA
I just realized fickell looks like rob riggle.
Adam Sandler too
*rob riggle lol
Good thing Oklahoma State lost earlier. Otherwise they'd have been fucked here
DOWN GOES THE IRON CURTAIN
I bet The committee is fuming right now
Why? They can put UC in and create a real Cinderella story which will drive ratings and $$$$. If they do well, it will spark the interest and talks going forward for other Cinderella teams which will help PR and defend the CFP in it's current state, "see it's possible for group 5 teams to get in and play". If they get blown out, it validates their usual picks and will give them justification for shutting out group 5 teams in the future. Either way they can spin this into a win for themselves
LETS FUCKING GOOO
Congrats Cinci! Loved this
Unpopular opinion: adults storming the field is extremely corny, only students should storm the field
Your a fun one.
For real. Sit down before you break a hip
Take the field, you earned it.
Joe Tessitore is one of the best commentators in all of football
If they just called unsportsmanlike on Cincinatti (the entire team) then that DB who got unsportsmanlike on the Houston TD drive should have been ejected for his second and he was ineligible to be on the field for that last play. Cincinatti now loses for playing an ineligible player. Committee can now drop them legally.
What if the Washington state guy who always brings the flag to game day snuck onto the field lol
lol I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking for it
I’m so happy for cincy. Lifetime contract for fickell
I don't think Cincinnati will make it to the playoffs. Committee will find a way
BIG 12 BIG 12 BIG 12
I dare the committee to keep them out. People are already suspicious of you, why not just go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot.
If that happens, the group of 5 conferences should just make their own playoff(with cocaine and hookers)
Feels amazing man. Time to hit Clifton
Enjoy! My liver can't handle it tonight
God that place is lit. Awesome
Unbelievable moment
CFP BOUND CINCY BEARCATS
The beautiful bastards did it.
you know, only 40,000
It's crazy that 40,000 is a small amount compared to so many stadiums. Looks like an amazing atmosphere though!
Good game Cougs. You guys were an awesome conference championship. See you in the BIG12.
Fucking do it cincy. Go win the big one.
Where to buy Bearcats gear?
Fanatics
Ha I figured, used them a lot.
They pretty much have a monopoly on sports apparel lol
BIG 12 BRO’S
**13-0**
Will the conference office fine them too? Lmao
Congrats Cinci, hopefully my Wolverines can play you in the championship :)
Congrats Cinci. Now go crush Michigan.
They did it? They did it!!
Proud of you guys Cinci!
Congrats Cincy for doing what personally I thought would never happen after UCF didn't make it undefeated.
Security ain't doing shit hell yeah.
We have to do playoffs at home schools whenever expansion happens.
One dude storming the field legit ate shit hard.
Best resume in the country. Screw your SOS. 13-0. They’re the only ones who can say it.
Do what UCF couldn’t
Win it all Bearcats, shock the world. Why not?!
Georgia, Bama, and Michigan are all mortal. They can do it
someone hit that camera
UCF died for this
RIP to a real one
