I don't care what they do.  I would take a two loss Alabama team all day every day over UC. 

UC doesn't have to be better than Bama or Georgia to get in... They need to be one of the best 2 remaining teams when it comes to the rest of the top 10.

My point is in my world those two teams are in no matter what assuming neither loses before they play meaning there is only two spots remaining. 

Oklahoma State 28 Tulsa 23

With 3:20 left in the game, Ohio State 27 Tulsa 20

UC did what Wake and Michigan State didn't do today... Win. 

Tulsa has now covered the spread in 11 straight games against AP ranked teams. 

Tulsa is a pretty solid 3-6 team. I know that sounds stupid, but they have played Ohio State, The Cowboys, and UC pretty tough.

Tulsa is solid, Navy and Tulane are not.  It just feels like 3 straight underperformances by UC.  Like Walter said, still time left.

Just keep winning. Other teams are going to lose.

That's about all Cincinnati can do at this point.   Just win and see what happens.

UC fans are definitely starting to worry after the past 3 games. Happy to get the wins but the defense simply isn't performing the same against the run. 

They were elite at stopping the run under Freeman last year with the same scheme and players so it's really hard to understand what's going on. Maybe Tressel isn't blitzing as much as Freeman did? Also has Coby playing 8-10 yards off receivers instead of press man coverage across the board which allows teams to hit quick outs and slants. 

Receivers are dropping passes in key situations and O line still isn't getting much push up front. They have to run outside because the inside zone isn't working.

Losing Ford mid way through the 2nd quarter to an injury didn't help things either. Hoping that injury isn't serious. Ryan Montgomery and Chuck McClelland just aren't as explosive as Ford.

There's a reason Ford was originally at Alabama. It was like his injury took the wind out of their sail.
