UC has to hope Georgia beats Bama in SEC title game but even if that happens I could see Oregon (if they beat Utah) and Ohio St getting in before them. Just the way it is for Non P5 teams.... I get the point/argument. Still ball left to be played. It will sort itself out a little bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati really isn't helping their case as much as they should if they're really a CFP team. Everybody knows we had them on the ropes until the targeting call, and they've really struggled against horrible Navy and Tulsa teams the last 2 weeks. If they were routinely beating teams by 40+ they'd easily be in. They just aren't passing the optics test lately. Yeah, I dont feel bad for them either. Imagine if UC' conference schedule included OSU, PSU, Michigan, MSU, Iowa, etc., and Indiana's included Tulsa, Temple, Navy, Tulane, ECU, etc. IU would easily be a top 25 team with a bowl locked up, while UC would be fighting to make a bowl game. In college sports the schedule matters a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I am not saying that ND deserves to be in the CFP if they end the season with only 1 loss, but what happens if UC ends up #1 and that would be their only loss. Can you keep a 1 loss team whose only loss is to current #1. Do you think UC goes undefeated and is left out of the CFP. Going to be a fun few weeks coming up for sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wake were to do so, why shouldn't they be in the playoff? It would be an interesting precedent for the committee to leave out an undefeated Power 5 school v a one loss school or a undefeated non-Power 5 school Edited November 1, 2021 by Steubenhoosier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't faced a ranked opponent this year...that's what happens when your OOC schedule is Campbell, Old Dominion, Norfolk St, and Army. That is worse than Cincy's schedule (which isn't that impressive either to be honest) with ND and IU (B1G) out of conference on it. I mean you have to at least give your team a test out of conference in case this sort of thing happens. I don't take them over Cincy...and it would take some movement at the top to get them in even over a 1 loss OSU/Oregon etc. Edited November 2, 2021 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier51 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Going to be an uphill battle for Cincy, they debuted at 6th in the first CFP. MSU is at No. 3 while Alabama is 2nd. With no more tough games i could see the Bearcats dropping down even further. Wake has a chance, they are 9th.

Really 75% of the top 25 is absolute junk. It's like they just picked names out of a hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
