It’s still sick and disgusting ? but that’s what they want. Even though all the good teams are leaving and 6 garbage teams are joining. Welcome to the “G4” shitnavy!

Well $6,000,000 > $4,000,000
That looks like about $181,818 for my school. I'm not in a position at the moment to donate that amount, so I'm happy to let Cincinnati do that work.
It really seems pretty simple that I'm rooting for what's best for my team.

Interesting point on teams departing; if this were a departing program vs a remaining program, ECU, SMU, or Memphis in EXACTLY Houston's situation, I would probably be pulling for the program staying. Forego the short term six figure gain for my school, in order to have the conference stayers have another NY6 bowl under our belts. That would be good for the conference in the medium-term, and therefore would be good for my school. But they're both leaving.

An even MORE nuanced point -- note that I said "in EXACTLY Houston's situation." If an SMU or ECU or Memphis were in the CCG, but unranked, or far enough behind an SDSU or Louisiana that a stayer-upset meant my team's conference didn't even get the NY6 bowl? $0 for missing the NY6 is a lot less than either $6 million or $4 million. Honestly, it probably means another $1.5 million lost in CFP performance shares -- that would mean MY school missing out on $681,818...that's probably both OC and DC salaries. If that were the situation, I would probably be pulling for Cincinnati, and saying "We'll get those departing turncoats next year, conference-remainers."

8mil > 6mil

2 ny6 winners (conference is great) > cincy 1 playoff win(Cincy the program is great)

counterpoints!

40,000 > 25

That's the ratio of fan support in the stadium. Better bring your ear plugs, coogies.

If Houston comes into that Atmosphere and wins, they deserved it. It's going to tough.

I am concerned about their strength (D-Line) vs Cincy's weakness (O-Line). I'm old school in the thought that the game is won and lost up front.

I think there is zero chance that Cincinnati stays high enough for an at large bid if upset by a team 17 spots below them in the Committee's eyes.

With the Cotton Bowl a semifinal you only have 4 non-contract slots. One would be Houston. #5 ND would be a lock. The ACC champ comes from outside the top 12...once you fill the contract slots in the Rose and Sugar (with Big12's Sugar slot coming from outside the top 12) the final at-large slot goes away around #8/#9.

1-loss Cincinnati will be lucky, LUCKY to stay above the BYU-Iowa-Oklahoma 2-loss teams currently 12-14.

Oh by the way, there is a scenario where Houston upset = 0 NY6 bids for the AAC. Say that upset is ugly or "fluky"...now also say that Utah pounds Oregon (again) and makes a BIG jump up the rankings which they would, so that the Committee's Rose Bowl matchup looks as highly ranked as possible...that could result in SDSU's win over Utah being a better win than Houston's in the committee's eyes, and Houston fails to jump them. That is HIGHLY unlikely...a very near zero chance...but not impossible.

All of this, and let's be honest... the power of a G5 team actually breaking through is worth way more to the AAC than 2 million dollars from the scenario (that will never happen) where both UC and Houston get NY6 bids.

Even Houston fan bois are ashamed of him.

BTW, "Eleven straight wins, perfect in conference play" is impressive. Know what's even more impressive? "TWELVE straight wins, perfect in conference play."

Edit: I take it back...there is one shot of Holgs...with a clipboard...

Safe to say this will be the most motivated crowd in UC/Nippert history. If Houston doesn’t stomp early, I can’t even imagine the pandemonium inside that little bowl. Regrettably, I didn’t get a ticket, but if I had, it would be to experience the crowd as much as the game.

You are technically correct, but you needed a Hatori Hanzo katana to cleave off that difference!
