This occurred to me when Iowa lost and I realized Cincy will likely move to #2 this week...
If 1 loss Bama beats Georgia in the SEC CG, then undefeated Cincy potentially moves to #1, so they would be in the playoffs. Especially if all other contenders have 2 losses, which is still possible. In B1G it would involve winner of UM v MSU losing to PSU and OSU while loser beats winner of PSU vs OSU. In this situation, I believe OSU plays Iowa and beats them in B1G CG, so all B1G options have 2 losses.
The ACCs best team is already 2 loss Clemson, they are out. PAC can easily get 2 losses as their best team. Oklahoma I still think will lose 2 games, so B12 has 2 losses.
This means Cincy, Georgia, and Bama are in playoffs. The true nightmarish part would be ND joining them on potentially their only loss being to Cincy.
So, there you have my Nightmare Scenario where I will once again not be watching the playoffs. Why will I not root for Cincy? Solely because their coach is out of the untrustworthy OSU ranks so I am suspect that Cincy is running a clean program. If it was not for him, they would have my support.
So maybe Georgia since it has been a long ti.e since their last NC. But that requires supporting an SEC school...NOT happening.
