Cincy,
#2, just shakin my head

 

[TerryP]

Michigan State would be a 13-14 point dog against OSU, ranked one spot lower, on a neutral field.

 

[alabamajack]

Would be interested in seeing the point spread of cincinnati against Alabama, Georgia, osu and oklahoma

Neutral field as of last week...power rankings, etc,. are still being released for yesterday's action:

Alabama	-10
Georgia	-10
Ohio State	-7
OU	-6

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Cincinnati has beaten 2 teams with a winning record and one more who is currently 4-4. Their opponents are 27-37 overall. Notre Dame and UCF are 12 of those 27 wins by themselves. Their remaining schedule is currently 12-16 with SMU being 7 of those wins. By comparison, Bama's opponents are 34-28 overall with their remaining being 16-16. UGA opponents are 37-28 so far with 14-17 remaining.

Would be massive

Near if not 3 scores

Tulane n navy played with them.

Ole ms or AU would manhandle them.

If the playoff committee follows suit, it'll be interesting, but even then I don't think they survive conference championship weekend with SOS.

 

[252BAMA]

Doubt if Cincinnati is in the top 6 with the playoff committee. Here is how Vegas views it.

2022 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF CONTENDERS​

• Georgia +120
• Alabama +250
• Ohio State +600
• Oklahoma +1200
• Cincinnati +2500
• Michigan State +3000

They were at #7 in the first ranking last year with a weaker schedule after being around the same ranking in the polls.

[bama alum]

Wake is in the top ten for the first time, and UTSA is undefeated and sitting in the top twenty. Neither SMU nor PSU didn't really drop that badly after losing this weekend.

So...Is it safe to say that pretty much any team from 12 down sucks pretty badly?

 

[Rolltide24]

I think some stuff will shake out in the next 4 weeks. It usually does to some extent. A team or 2 will lose that shouldn’t.

I agree

Some may say from 2 down...some say bring back the computers...n BCS...

The poll I am interested in is the finals for the playoff spots and the last poll of the year.

Only one that really matters is the final poll

But

Its still nice to have the 13-14 year
streak of being a #1 sometimes during year
