#4 Cincinnati vs. #1 Alabama

[Ancient Reptile]

Saban must have a medical marijuana card because his droopy blood-shot eyes had that look in the last camera pan.

Also, his hair turned noticeably gray between the morning interviews and the game.

This is a fairly young Bama team. I think he’s enjoying it more than usual.

Yeah. I just figured that he shampooed.

 

[FireFoley]

Just thinking the same thing. That and Bryce Young seems off today.

As I mentioned earlier, no Metchie, a decent D and Bama's O-line equals not so good passing game for Bama. Next game will be the real test.

The bigger point is there simply aren’t more than two, maybe three, teams that deserve to play for it all in any given year. We keep insisting that there are, yet quite conclusive evidence continues to show otherwise.

And that’s the problem. Setting aside the huge money-making angle to this whole thing, it only takes an occasional “deserving” but #3 ranked team being left out to get people to scream “we need a playoff!” Since this thing expanded, how often has there been a year where people thought any of the four teams could really win it?

So tell me again why we need to expand the number of playoff spots...

To improve the chances that the final 4 is all SEC teams

The same people pushing for an expanded playoff are also whining that there are too many garbage bowls. For many people, “life” is simply too much to handle.

Just heard this EXACT commentary from my BIL a couple days ago.

If you say shampoo a bunch it turns into poosham.

The first part, or the second part?

 

[Altitude Gator]

The first part, or the second part?

First - so I agree with the second part.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

To improve the chances that the final 4 is all SEC teams

SEC with 13 of the last 21 Championships. 62% of the past 21 (including 2021)

Instead of real poo?

Simple, not competition, $$$$$

 

[TN G8tr]

Cincy no where competitive. It was like Bammer was just going to plan a typical work day, hope for no injuries, and tune up for UGAly. Watching the first drive it was like.......so you want to play big boy Football. Well, you're gonna be my bytch for the next 60 minutes. Outmanned, outsized, out schemed, out everything. And most of all Cincy was knocked out. Should have never been in the Semi's.

 

[rogdochar]

How many teams out there would beat Cincinnati had they played them during the regular season.?
Cincy would have been culled out before the first quarter ended.

Guy is never happy!

Nothing screams living in the moment like a Saban sour pus pose at the victory podium after yet another (yawn) title.

He was good in the post game onfield interview
