An undefeated Cincinnati is on the bubble. 

A one loss Cincinnati isn't even in the discussion.

They would. 

I'd say that the notion of Cincinnati getting in with a loss is the craziest CFB discussion I've had today, but it isn't. 

On another board a guy said the new Big 12 would be nowhere near as good as the revamped Big East because WV, Louisville, Rutgers, UConn, Cincinnati and USF were all Nationally relevant at one point or another.

The new B12 will be a G6 conference.

Well about five weeks ago I pissed off half the board here when I said I'd rather have a 2 loss OSU or Bama in the playoffs than an undefeated Cincy.  So I guess I would rank the current situation as follows:

It would piss me off if an undefeated Cincy made the playoffs.

It would piss me off more if a one loss Cincy made the playoffs.

It would piss me off most if Notre Dame made the playoffs in lieu of Cincy regardless of Cincy's final record.

A 1-loss Cincinnati can crawl back down that shithole they came from.

When the 4 team CFP was devised it was made known all FBS college football teams were eligible.  Has a non-Power 5 team ever made the CFP?  Boise State?  I don’t remember.  Anyway, this could be the year the CFP lives up to their PC statement before they move on to a different format.

No G5 ever made the CFP, or was every ranked in the top 4 at any point.

If mayhem doesn't  happen, at all, and every favorite wins, I think we'd have UGA OkSU  UC and ....  Michigan (at 2).

So did Notre Dame just bow out? Do they take a team with an interim coach?

I'm not sure it harms ND.  Television viewers are important to ESPN's Selection Committee, and this makes for a compelling storyline.
