My 2 cents

If you took Alabama's players and uniforms off and made them Mississippi State, they wouldn't be ranked 2nd. If you did the same with Wake Forest and Clemson They would be ranked 2nd. Cincinnati has a better overall win than Ohio State and Alabama who also have a loss. Oregon has a better win, but they have a loss as well. The way I see things certain teams get special advantages because of their brand. Don't get me wrong, those teams earned their brand, but never the less, that is suppose to have no impact on this years team.
Alabama is absolutley sacred in the eyes of the committee. They get a pass on their loss like it didn't happen. Ohio State and Oklahoma aren't in Alabama's league when it comes to being protected, but they are very close. The committee has said, by ranking Cincinnati 6th, that this is their ceiling. They basically can't move up without losses from the teams in front of them. By their actions the committee has said that a group of five can't be in the playoffs unless pure pandemonium unfolds. This committee, worse that any other way of picking teams we have had,
has proven they can't or won't rank teams based on any of criteria than brand recognition. Nothing else matters.
In my opinion the only team ranked fairly was Georgia and their defense is so good and they are so much better than everyone else, that you can't put them anywhere but #1.
