re: Bama will lose this playoff game..

You could very well be right....this game could go either way. Although Alabama obviously has more outstading athletes, make no mistake, Cincy has some studs also. Their DB's are the best in CFB, with the best one (Ahmad Gardner) losing the Jim Thorpe award to his teammate Coby Bryant. They are absolute lockdown CB's and their back 7 are among the best in the nation. Their DL will harass you. Seems like it is the kind of team that plays down to their competition at times, but really rises to the occasion against good competition, as evidenced by their slaughter of bot SMU and Houston, and make no mistake that 24-13 win was not as close as that as they easily should have won by 20. Should be a really good game as Cinci. is a nightmare matchup for Bryce Young.
