Yep, once again the Group of 5 can't get a break. If it doesn't happen this year, it will never happen in a 4 team playoff structure.
 
if you had to put your money on the game which team in the top 10 are taking your cash against?

Wake/ND? Wake I think they our score Cinci and ND is just avg..

Auburn is probably closer to top 8 than the 3-4 ahead of them on the field.

Watching cinci play every week they might beat one of those top teams 1 in 5 or less. Wake probably 50/50.
After that our flawed team would give every one else a game that went to the 4th.

Minn/Wisc/Iowa are not very good

Clemson who had them not being top 25 right now. hard to think they were a 4th quarter play away from being 1-7.. 4 teams had the ball with a chance to win late against them.

If Cincinnati goes 13-0 and doesn’t get in people just shouldn’t watch the “playoff.” It isn’t going to change until people mess with ESPN’s pockets.

March madness doesn’t always crown the best team but at least every team in the country has a legitimate chance at winning the title.
 
This is the first week of rankings, I wouldn’t take them to seriously.

The only issue will come up if Bama wins out and beats Georgia in the SEC championship.

Oregon HAS to win the PAC 12 to stay in the top 4. Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan will all sort themselves out as they play each other or will have to with the Big 10 championship.

With that in mind, Cincy can still get into the top 4.

However, need to be worried about Oklahoma coming from behind in the Big 12 if they win out

If Bama only loses to Georgia the rest of the way they’re getting in. That’s why they’re two right now.

SEC and ESPN are basically the same entity at this point

I don’t see a two loss Bama getting the nod over an undefeated Oklahoma or Cincinnati.If Alabama beats Georgia then I can see the SEC getting both of them in the playoff.

No way a 2 loss bama makes it in unless everyone else loses at least once
 
It's last season but Cincy has proven that they can compete with Georgia:


It's their only loss in their last 18 games.

They do have the win over Notre Dame and were killing everybody early in the season. They've struggled a bit more in recent weeks, which gave the committee the opening to downgrade them:

2021 Cincinnati Bearcats Schedule | ESPN

The perennial reason for keeping out the G5 teams that run the table is to say that they would never be able to do that in a P5 conference. But you wonder. Could they do it in the ACC? The Pac12? The Big 12? If they did, where would they be ranked then?
 
I might be in the minority but I’m not sure Cincy should even be 6. Why are they ahead of WF? Both undefeated and WF has the slightly stronger SOS. Cincy is 100th. Why should they even be 6th? They’ve played and beaten nobody and has really struggled the last 2.
 
It's a tricky situation with Cincy. Their win at ND is probably the second most impressive win of the season so far after A&M beating Bama. But their overall SOS is 94 and they have only played one Sagarin Top 30 team. They really, really need ND to win out to have a chance.

The team that very quietly has had a very impressive year is Oklahoma State who is 4-1 against the Top 30. Wake is 0-0.
