... Cincinnati's initial ranking, but give me a break!

They were out-gained in yardage against the Indiana Hoosiers, for crying out loud, 376 to 328. Although Cincy indeed won that game, 38-24.

Ohio State beat Indiana 54-7, and had far more yards as well... 539 to 128. (And the Buckeyes removed their starters when the outcome was obvious.)

Cincinnati doesn't even recruit very well. It's not like they're always ranked in the top 10 in high school recruit talent rankings. They're usually lucky if they rank in the top 40!

If they indeed win-out with their weak schedule (except for one game against Norte Dame), I'll actually be pleased to see them get crushed in a semi-final playoff game.

Even Ohio State was crushed by Alabama last year, and the reason was obvious. Alabama had many more talented players at every position.
