Cincinnati would do us a *really* big favor if they were to somehow upset Notre Dame...though that's pretty unikely. If they do, however, that means UofL controls its own destiny for the outright championship. If we beat MU and then Cincy, we're one loss, and everyone else is at least two losses.<br /><br />If, however, Cincy goes down to defeat both time this weekend, which is likely, the only way for us to get the championship outright is to beat MU and then have MU beat ND...that's reasonably likely as that would be a repeat of how the previous matches in the season went down. If ND beat MU, then that leaves ND and us as co-champions, with MU in third.<br /><br />If, heaven forbid, we lose to MU, then we need ND to beat MU, and Cincy to beat ND in order to maintain the current 3-way tie.<br /><br /><br />So, in addition to cheering for UofL, we need to cheer for Cincinnati tonight. If ND beats them as they're expected to, then in addition to cheering for UofL on Sunday vs Cincy, we need to cheer for MU over ND.<br /><br />I think I got all of that straight.<br /><br />Regardless, #GoCards!<br /><br />-- <br />JeffJMcAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440193885039741934noreply@blogger.com
