Alabama talent level just ridiculous every year especially there WR corp everyone looks good cause there WR are just explosive man.
Because every player on there roster is pretty much a 5 star recruit. 😂
And this is their worst receiving group in years. Shoot it’s only been a year or two since menchie and Williams were 4th,5th even 6th options. Hard to believe devonta, Ruggs, waddle, Jerry jeudy all on the same team lol. Just absurd.
@FGVFSS8409 ok? Every team gets 5 stars but the way nick saban molds and coaches them makes them look like future NFL stars
Cincinnati has a couple of good players definitely not in the same class as alabama.alabamas defenceman line took Cincinnati offensive line lunch money away like a senior bully does to a ist grader. There were few starters on Cincinnati that would start for alabama.
That’s what money and rich boosters will get you these kids don’t go to bama for the atmosphere . Again it’s going to be another boring bama championship contest we all know ok w the talent level at bama but just tired of them and until someone step up to beat them more of the same.
Bearcats had some decent defensive stops , but their offense was in no man’s land facing those future 1st rounders on Bama’s Defense; Brain Robinson was like a man amongst boys out there.
@Flame Sports This is my sentiment too. Alabama wasnt totally invincible in this game, no matter what people say. Cincy was painfully conservative and it was to their detriment. On top of the bang-bang plays like not recovering the muffed kick by Bolden. A play like that going the other way, maybe we’re talking about a much closer game than what we had.
@Dɪᴀ Yes that muffed Punt was the play we needed. ND was playing us close the first quarter and Something similar happened where we recovered the ball and the rest was history… But they were totally super conservative with every offense possession. You can watch every game this season and watch a few passes from Ridder beyond 20 yards just in the First Quarter, and the fact that did not happen once in 60 minutes blows me..
@Bryan Robinson it’s the line they should have rolled him out a little bit more.
@Rageous you’re not going to throw much on a 3-3-5 d. Wait till the Georgia game when georgias d line is sucking wind to keep up with bama bryce throws for 3 Tds and 350yrds passing. Robinson runs for 90 and two tds 38-10 bama. They disrespected Bama again Georgia is a 2.5 point favor
@Jamey Cockrell and thats why people didn’t want them in the playoff, people gotta understand there is an extreme talent difference between power 5 schools and group of 5 schools group of 5 schools aren’t good enough to be in a CFP it’s harsh but the hard truth. Alabama will never not be good and those other teams like Michigan and Georgia all earned those spots.
Well, The Bearcats know where they stand now
@Apostle you mean the AAC or BIG12 because ypu know Cincy is moving to a P5 confrence in a year or so. Thus with P5 status they’ll be able to recieve better recruits. Considering Ohio State recruits nationally, leaving rons of highly rated ohio products. They’ll be back and they’ll be better.
@Apostle that’s stupid. Every single team in CFP history except LSU and Georgia have all lost a game by double digits. Should we ban them too?
@Mark Jones exactly and if this statement is true then why did Michigan lose so badly too. There is nothing wrong with Cincy being there because who else could’ve came
@Apostle 😂 would have been the same for any other team Alabama number one in the nation what are u talking bout lmao u act like bama are scrubs
@Apostle not really bc Oklahoma state is getting owned by Norte dame and nobody beating bama even Georgia got owned by them
That defensive line for bama is just amazing. Looked like a JV offensive line out there for cinci
For the past two weeks all you heard was about how good Cincy QB is and their senior wideout and the two DBs. Game start and Bama dominates.
Cinn has won there conference and has to play the likes of bama lost
@Mario Gutierrez I mean that was fans and pundits talking. The spread was -14
@Grεεk Frog you weren’t saying that before though
@Euclid’s Chemical Equation Actually I was. I’m not a Cincy fan.
This game reminded me of when Bama teams from a few years ago would play teams like Georgia state. Run the ball, chew clock, let the defense handle things, win about 30-0 and move on to the next one.
@JimothyJimbo cincinatti is a top 3 team this year whereas Georgia state isn’t a top 60 don’t be stupid
@Jon then what does that say about UGA who they beat even worse?
@Hugh Owens Take your meds Alabama would do the same to #5 and #6. Lets be honest about the CFP. Only 5 of these games have been memorable.
@ihateyall thanks for some actual common sense. There been like 3 or 4 semi’s tha were actually close. Don’t mean Cincy was bad team. For instance look at the other one this year UGA 34 – BIG10 Champ MICH 11 prolly would have been 34-3 if not for a late score in the 4thQ on 3rd stringers
@Gaurav Agochiya ND would get stomped like they always do lol. But Osu and Bama are both different teams then last year. Both QBs went to the draft. OSU offense is elite just like Bama defense this year. OSU defense is trash and Bama offense is inconsistent. Cincinnati did not belong.
Congratulations to Cincinnati on their two field goals.
More points than Michigan State ever scored in the CFP lol
😂
Congrats crimson tide. So very good, Cincy Bearcats need to schedule tough teams in the next couple years they will be moving to the big 12. Good season congrats Bearcats
For all the people who thought Cincy would beat Bama..come on out of hiding. We know you didn’t know any better lol. Roll Tide 🐘
Nobody thought Cincy would win. But they did lose by less than Ohio state last year, so maybe the “they dont belong” crowd could stfu already. Maybe…
@Cameron Ferrell but in college football we’ve seen way worse which is why this loss wasn’t horrible
@Lit 1200 Regardless of how bad they lost, Alabama controlled and dominated the game. Cincinnati throughout the whole game didn’t have any real chances of really making the game close
@Cameron Ferrell did you watch what Georgia did that was a blowout game plus Georgia has more talent than what Cincinnati had I’m saying bama for being so superior to Cincinnati didn’t really blow them out of the game
@Jeff Taulton I thought they would win looking back at Boise state and OU lol
You could tell at coin toss Cincinnati was already beat from nerves, hopping around, looking around, sidelines bouncing around, meanwhile Bama players standing around chillin like they’re at a practice cause they been to the show so many times.
Yeah they were trying to hard to hype themselves up & not show they were scared 🤣
Alabama defense has improved a lot the last half of the season ‼️
