I agree with most of your post but am curious why you state UC is "90 minutes from tOSU and under their thumb politically."  Obviously I know the 90 minute part but why the political part?  There are unquestionably a lot of Ohio St fans in Cincinnati but the belief that the Suckeyes "own" Cincinnati is overblown.  Local sports radio conducts a poll annually with the latest completed a week ago:
Here are the results:

46% Cincinnati
29% Ohio State
 9% Miami
 6% Kentucky
 6% Other
 1% Louisville
[URL="http://espn1530.iheart.com/onair/lance-mcalister-7818/final-day-to-vote-who-is-13910009/"]Voting is complete: Your favorite college football team is UC | Lance McAlister | ESPN 1530[/URL]

You also hear that Notre Dame is huge in Cincinnati but they somehow fall into the "other" category (along with my beloved Bobcats).   I think that the Suckeyes probably get talked about more than their 29% would suggest mainly because they have given more reasons to talk about them.  Even if 90% of the peopel were UC fans but the Suckeyes won the national championship I would guess people would talk more about the national championship than the Bearcats in the Belk Bowl.   This town would go nuts if UC was in the playoff. With the Suckeyes its "Eh, OSU's playing another big game."
