If Bama wins SECCG:  Georgia, Michigan, Bama, Oklahoma St/Baylor winner
If UGA wins SECCG:  Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma St/Baylor winner, Notre Dame

Let's start out with what it should be today, and not get ahead of ourselves, because there are too many permutations.

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Cincinnati
4. Alabama

this. let's let the games play out....season ain't over.

ALSO: no way in the world should Notre Dame be in a playoff over Cincy- when Cincy smacked the shit out of them head to head. That game was not even close. A little bit. Notre Dame sucks.

The only scenario that remains where the committee may leave an undefeated Cincy out at this point is Georgia, Bama, Michigan and Oklahoma St.  If any of the last three lose Cincy is a lock most likely.  Notre Dame won't get the invite over Cincy.  Opening the door to Baylor would also bring 2 loss Oregon, Iowa, Pitt and Wake into the conversation if they win their conference.  I don't see them opening that can of worms.

The season will play out. Cincy plays 11-1 Houston in the AAC championship game. Cincy is not a lock to win.
If Cincy does win, so long as ND or Ohio State are ahead of Oklahoma State in this week's rankings, Cincy will survive.
Oklahoma State would have to move ahead of ND and Ohio State this week in the rankings. Oklahoma State would have to annihilate Baylor with style points, for Oklahoma State to reach the playoff. I don't see ND reaching the playoff if Cincy wins its CCG.

Miami (OH) or Florida St - not close
Murray St or Toledo - not close
Indiana or Purdue - not close
ND or Wisconsin
Temple or Cincinnati - not close
UCF or Virginia Tech 
Navy or USC - not close
Tulane or North Carolina - not close
Tulsa or Navy
USF or Virginia - not close
SMU or Georgia Tech - not close
ECU or Stanford

Have fun holding h2h above 11 other data points.  ND's season is objectively better than Cincinnati's.  Unless you're a caveman.

ND has definitely played a better schedule than UC but they also definitely lost to them convincingly at home.

In cases where the records are similar h2h usually plays a pretty big part in separating the two teams.  It has for the committee this year with UC and ND. I don’t expect ND to suddenly jump them because they beat a bad Stanford team.

I like the concession that the actual results of the games are besides the point.

The real question. If Cincy, Michigan, Alabama, and Okie State lose...who are the top four?

Mayhem is the winner.  I presume they would all be out and we'd be talking about Baylor and Ole Miss and Michigan State?

Geesh, that would be fun.

YUP Ohio State defeated every common opponent they had with UM by substantionally more points.I didn't agree with tOSU being ranked above Oregon for much of the year unless the roster got clipped by injuries,grades,rules violations,etc;
