As more and more years pass me by, I have gotten a little denser ( it couldn’t be the bourbon), so can somebody explain which voodoo doll I need to be sticking tonight and why?!?
Bearcats vs. Pirates
- Thread starter Knight59
- Start date
I’d think a Cincy loss would be good. They need to lose either to ECU or Tulane to take them out of contention. We just need to beat Tulane and the schedule is easy for us with Navy and usf.
Doesn't matter? 🤷♂️
If we win out then we're in the CCG regardless, but what if Tulane beats us tomorrow?
ECU wins = they have 2 conference losses same as us but hold the head-to-head tie breaker.
Cincy wins = they still have only 1 conference loss and we now have 2, so they go to CCG.
ECU still has to play Houston and Cincy still has to play Tulane, so there is another possible loss for either. Which is more likely?

If Cincy wins out and UCF wins out, the two will meet again in the title game, correct? If so, I am pulling for ECU. It is hard to beat a great team twice.
Yes since both would beat Tulane giving them 2 losses while Cincy and UCF would only have 1.
Happy with either outcome. Tbh probably more happy with a Cinci win after how pathetic and petty ecu was after our game. This UCF team needs to be tough and stop relying on others to help them. Win out or go home.
I may switch it up…if Cincy wins they may be ranked next week and then after we beat Tulane, the winner of Tulane/Cincy will probably get ranked and we face in the CCG. Will be more ranked wins, more eyes on the games. Some of you don’t care about that, but recruits do, national media does and national audience surely does.
I want UCF to have the clearest path to a NY6 Bowl. Ideally, UCF beats Tulane and wins out, and ECU upsets Cincy and wins out. Tulane, meanwhile, losses out, setting up a UCF-ECU rematch in Orlando and the Knights finish the butt pirates for good while riding off into the Power 5 sunset.
I really don't want this immature ecu fanbase to go on another weekly rant about beating another b12 newcomer, and for sure houston would go down to them next week. Loser ecu qb been playing there for what 5-6 years, dude hand it off to someone else, you haven't won jack
I think I heard the Cinci crowd booing on the 3 and out. Not cool, not classy to boo your qb/team in the last 3 mins of a competitive game. Maybe I heard wrong....hope so
Cinn is trying to give this game to ECU. I think we can beat Cinn again. Their qb can’t pass worth shit. Gonna suck if EC wins last minute on a FG.
Just to be that boob, 4 or 5 games left in this conference and then, who gives a ......
Cinci lucky on that last play.
One positive note I will say about ecu is their coach. Has done a decent job and was very impressive on his analysis of UCF during his press conference leading up to the game. He sounded really knowledgeable on most of our guys, almost as if he was a coach on our team.

Well, they did have a ton of inside information…allegedly
Would have loved an ECU CCG rematch at home at the Bounce House with changed signals and such, but Cinci winning is better. We have the tie breaker against them, plus we need to win out regardless to have a chance and will host the CCG if we do. Just feel like we match up better with Cinci than ECU also.
Id rather play Cinci at home than ECU on road again for multiple reasons. If we had beat them maybe it would be different but we couldn’t stop them from scoring. Cincy had a hard time.
Cincy winning was definitely better for us. ECU wins and we lose today, and we're stuck in a quagmire of 2 loss teams, including one that has a win over us. Now if we lose, all it takes is Tulane beating Cincy. (which isn't a sure thing by any means I realize) and we should be set-up to be in the conference championship game at Tulane. If ECU won you'd need them to lose to Houston, and then who has the tiebreaker with us and Houston? I'm not sure, it definitely becomes more complicated.
If the tiebreaker is teams with 2 AAC conference losses, pretty sure none of those teams will be ranked.
*Provided the Knights win today* Friday nights's outcome virtually guaranteed UCF will have to beat the same team twice to make a NY6 Bowl.
It will take a catastrophic meltdown for Cincy or Tulane to not reach the AAC Championship Game.
