Mike Aresco, Tim Brando, Pat McAfee join CFP rankings outrage in defense of UC Bearcats

Discussion of the College Football Playoff committee's snub of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats by moving them down in the rankings again this week despite their 8-0 record this season - potentially diminishing their chances of being invited to take part in the CFP - continued on Wednesday, with criticism of the committee coming from American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco in addition to national analysts Pat McAfee and Tim Brando among others. FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd, on the other hand, suggested that the Bearcats' ranking in recruiting compared to the teams ranked above them should automatically exclude UC from consideration.
