I think every team down to Michigan State would be a 7-14 point favorite over Cincinnati.  The last three would be close.

Why not?  I think you can rank teams based on whatever you want.
Well sure, we could rank them alphabetically. But the idea that it is outrageous to rank Cincy #2 certainly hasn't been backed up by much.

Oregon was a 2 point dog at UCLA, got the upset and won by 3. Have a hard time seeing them getting more than a couple against Cincinnati.

I'm fine with Cincy at #2.  But, I don't think they are the second best team out there obviously.

In any POWER ranking, they would be, and are, 7-8-9.

Ranking Cincy now based on accomplishments so far they are, at best, about #10.  Their wins over horrible MiamiOH, MurraySt, and Temple prove nothing because those teams are horrible. Their win over IU is better than MSU's but MUCH worse than tOSU's, Iowa's, and PSU's.  Their seven point win over a horrible Navy team is a flat out embarrassment if you are treating them as a legitimate NC contender.  All that leaves is a 35 point win over UCF which is pretty good but not anything to hang your hat on and then an 11 point win over Notre Dame. 

I guess a lot of this hinges on what you think of Notre Dame and I think they are massively overrated.  Their only impressive win based on score is the 28 point win over Wisconsin but even there the Badgers had a fourth quarter lead and the game was within one score until less than 10 minutes remained. 

If you view Notre Dame the way I view Notre Dame then UC doesn't really have any significant accomplishments so all you are left with is comparing scores against crappy teams and they don't stack up very well there. 
ND barely beat FSU, Toledo and VT yet they're the cornerstone for the Cincy dynasty in this thread.

That #2 ranking has been a disaster all season.  We've had Oklahoma, Clemson, Iowa, Cincy and Michigan in that spot.  Who gets to be the fake #2 next?

Not really. 

OSU lost to a top ten team, while Oregon lost to a team with a losing record.

Massey Composite Rankings

1 Georgia
2 Michigan
3 Alabama
4 Cincy
5 Ohio St
6 Iowa
7 Oklahoma
8 Notre Dame
9 Mississippi
10 Wake Forest
11 MSU
I think it is the same as ELA's 8 computers, but Massey has 40 computers.
In the top 5 I think Michigan and Alabama  should move down a bit and let Ohio State move up. We will find out if Iowa belongs in the upper crust this weekend. Iowa's QB wears boots and is raking damp cement; he has had little protection; and his coordinator is protected by nepotism.
