I know I'm a little late in the game in responding to this post. But there is no way they would have tried to go through with "Bigger 10" as there certainly would have been legal battles over that name with the Big 10.

It’s official: The Big Ten Conference will have new division alignments set to begin in 2014 and nine-game Big Ten Conference schedules for 2016 after the recommendations were unanimously approved by school athletic directors and supported by the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors. In a statement released by the conference, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said, “Big Ten directors of athletics concluded four months of study and deliberation with unanimous approval of a future football structure that preserved rivalries and created divisions based on their primary principle of East/West geography.”

Cincy is not strong enough of a program to trump USF, UCF, UCONN, and even Houston and Navy on yearly basis. Should be a competitive league for them, though

do you even watch football? UC has won at least a share of the conference title 4 out of last five years. They've won ten games five out of last 6 years. When you're ignorant on a subject its best to just keep your mouth shut.

UC will be one of the best, but it's a stronger conference than the old Big East. Tulsa, Houston, SMU, ECU and UCF are all solid football teams.

The team that is going to get buried on a yearly basis in both sports is Tulane. Thank goodness they are in a big market...

Wow, the butthurt......so winning in the Big East means they're going to dominate their new conference? Do you even know their record during that time? Did they dominate their conference during that time? No. Did you forget the embarrassing 4-8 season of 2010? Since when did the the fucking bearcats become an elite BCS team? You lost to a MAC school last year

Fucking do something on the field before chest thumping your school

He never said the Bearcats were an elite BCS team. They should be the favorites to win the conference most years. The conference is shit when comparing it to other BCS conferences and not much better than most mid-majors. Not sure why thats a crazy statement.

Hyperbole.......And, again, why should they be favorites to win their conference? They were behind Ohio U in offense and defense last year.....

Point is, they are not better than the schools in their conference to be considered favorites. They have been an average team, are an average team, and will continue to be an average team.

Do you just make up stuff to make your points?


Cincinnati scored 32.31 pts/game (#39)
Ohio scored 31.69 pts/game (#42)


Cincinnati allowed 18.46 pts/game (#14 in the country)
Ohio allowed 24.77 pts/game (#46)


I really don't need to argue anymore, just need to show everyone that you're full of shit when you speak.

goosegumps gets so butthurt when someone brings up UC lol.

Anyways, UC is a good program right now...but I agree w/ Mohican on this. UC isn't a dominant program by any means, and that is what they'll need to be to say they'll dominate a conference for years. (is the American conference a BCS conference? If so, his comment about being an elite BCS team is valid.).

Tulsa, Houston, SMU, ECU, UCF...those aren't great problems, but they're good enough. UC isn't light years above them.

lel, points per game. That's funny

http://statistics.ncaafootball.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=ncaa-football&page=cfoot/stat/ncaa-team-totaldef.htm (note, they were 1 spot ahead of OU in defense....congrats! :rolleyes:)

To recap, Cincy sucks and this crusade to make them out to be a decent program makes you look stupid

Maybe a more suitable conference for Cincinnati would be the MAC as the burrcats have a 44-42 lifetime record against MAC foes.....that's pretty competitive for them

In 2007 when OSU lost to LSU 38-24, they really won and were the better team since they had 353 yards and LSU only had 326

No. Not an AQ. They will be on the same level as the mid-majors, with the highest ranked of non qualifiers getting an auto bid to a BCS game, I believe.

Don't non-AQ need to be top 16 to get a BCS game invite?

Well thats the old rules, and its still not correct. A non-AQ has to be top 16 AND ranked higher than the highest ranked team in an auto bid conference to receive the auto bid (see NIU this past year who ended up ranked higher than the Big East and Big Ten champ).

Im not exactly sure with the new rules with the playoffs and the conference realignment, but the post you quoted should be pretty accurate if my memory didnt fail me. I remember the rule change being better for all mid-major, as there are only 5 non-AQ and it gave everybody a better shot not in the old Big East at making a BCS game. Not sure what the rule would be for another Non-AQ to qualify.
