CINCINNATI — The Bearcats' College Football Playoff fate will be revealed on Sunday at Noon ET. 

Cincinnati will likely play Alabama for a chance to go to the National Championship. The Crimson Tide absolutely crushed Georgia 41-24 to win the SEC Title, but one of their top players got injured in the win. 

Star wide receiver John Metchie III suffered a torn left ACL according to multiple reports. 

The speedster has 96 catches for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns this season. It's a big loss for the Crimson Tide. They appeared to be hitting their stride. 

Of course they have plenty of other dynamic players, including quarterback Bryce Love, who will likely win the Heisman Trophy, wide receiver Jameson Williams and running back Brian Robinson.
