If Cincy runs the table they're in the CFP.  Even with the SoS argument.  They're a good football team and the coaches and AP know this.  They're currently ranked 2 in the country in both polls. Even if a team in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 go undefeated Cincy is still in just so long as they stay unbeaten. They still have currently ranked #19 SMU on the schedule, so we'll see what happens there.  They also have to win their conference championship.  A lot of football to be played for all of this to play out.  

Insert foot in mouth.

Never thought they’d get bounced like that

Cincy can't make them enough money. Committee has basically made it a guarantee for Georgia and Alabama to be in the playoff.

Assuming Bama beats UGa in the SEC championship game.....granted there is a 103% chance of that happening. 

I think Bama gets in no matter what. 

[Alford Bailey]

Georgia Bama Ohio St and no sure on the fourth yet

[Lebowski]

OU, MSU, Wake and even Cincy can blow this whole thing up to force an expansion of the CFP. Assuming all those schools go undefeated I don't see how the committee would pass up 3 P5 schools over one loss schools like Oregon and/or Bama and Georgia. But then again, I also thought they'd have Cincy in the top 4 right now. Having said all that, I do think the top two schools in the country are indeed Georgia and Bama. Still a lot of football to be played though.

Yeah, lots of ball to be played yet.  The dust will settle a tad more.

Agree.

That being said I would like an 8 team playoff. First round right before Xmas, 2nd around New Years and then the Natty. The 7 biggest bowls each rotate hosting one of the games.

Listening to Greg McElroy gush over Stetson Bennett like he’s Russell Wilson is embarrassing. I don’t talk about my kids this way.

Buckeyes in a tad bit of trouble.

Wake Forest in tied with UNC in their weekly no defense allowed game

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Kevin Wilson teaching defense at Wake? That's not the usual plan on how to get the ball back with 3 timeouts lol.

1st time I’ve watched Wake. Will also be the last. Giving up 58 pts to a 4-4 team. Heard someone say this week they were a more legit playoff contender than Cincinnati. Uh huh. 

[LamarCheeks]

It's a sad day for college football when a win over Wake Forest leads to fans storming the field.

Schedule wise, they are/were.

I love watching Wake for the same reasons that the late Bill Lynch/early Kevin Wilson era got me addicted to IUFB. Complete chaos, games that lasted 5 hours, and a touchdown on every drive for both teams whether they were playing Ohio State or Southern Illinois.

Would be interesting to see what happens if UGA and 'Bama win out and play in the SEC title game -- and the 'Dogs win. Does the committee take a two-loss 'Bama team? 

[Rico]

Wow, what a play by Purdue.

[LamarCheeks]

Though there are two-plus quarters to be played, Purdue looks as if it could beat the No. 3-ranked team three weeks after beating the No. 2 team. 

That bums me out.
