Season yardage stats say there is a different #1. UM is the only team to really move the ball on our defense. The offense is more responsible for NDs points.

First off, it is not a playoff. It is an invitational.
Secondly, it is about money. Even undefeated, Wake Forest will not be invited.
Finally, the CFP committee will not put Cincy in the top 4 in the beginning, because if they win out, it will be somewhat tough to drop them.
1 Georgia
2 Oklahoma
3 Michigan State
4 Alabama
5 Oregon
6 Ohio State
7 Cincinnati
8 Wake Forest
9 Notre Dame
10 Michigan
11 Oklahoma State
12 Texas A&M
13 Baylor
14 Auburn
15 Ole Miss
16 Kentucky
17 NC State
18 Iowa
19 Houston
20 Minnesota
21 UTSA
22 UL Lafayette
23 Fresno State
24 SMU
25 Coastal Carolina

2021 College Football Predictions
FiveThirtyEight's 2021 college football predictions calculate each team's chances of winning its conference, making the playoff and winning a championship.
I only care to see how they'll screw Cincinnati and once again prove that playoff expansion would be the correct decision.
Yeah they will in these first rankings...but only with the committee's knowledge that they will continue to drop weekly EVEN IF WINNING by playing inferior opponents.
They are basically the 'elf on the shelf'. Fuck up and no Xmas for you.

Nope. They are wary of looking like ass with their hodgepodge of changing premises from week to week in past seasons. Cinci will start outside

Everyone here is all worried about Cincinnati except me. Know why? Because we are going to win out, we will be in the playoff and we will shock the world!

You do remember how good Goff was in college right? Now surround him with 10 other players that were really good in college too. It would be massacre

Sure, yardage wise they are up there and statistically the best rushing defense but I'm taking UGA. Easily the best RZ defense, better passing defense and forcing TO's. They also have given up way less TD's.

UW is also #1 in total yardage I mourn the loss of JT more and more

...and it seems to be getting better. One of these days I am going to run them through a ranking algorithm I devised a couple years ago to see how they stack up. Georgia too. Georgia is in historical country as far as points allowed

1. UGA
2. Michigan St
3. Alabama
4. Oregon
5. Ohio St
6. Cincinnati
7. Oklahoma
8. Michigan
9. Oklahoma St
10. Wake Forest
UGA clear no. 1. MSU has one of the best wins to date. Bama is Bama. Have to have Oregon before tOSU, and tOSU has to show they can beat good teams ... they will have their chance. Cincy will be outside the top 4 so the committee has flexibility with how to handle them without dropping them out. OU has won against bad competition, and played poorly for the most part. Michigan will have to beat tOSU to have a chance. No one else really matters.
