No one knows if Cincinnati has a real shot at the College Football Playoff. Most people suspect that Cincinnati fits the perfect mold for a Group of Five team trying to break the glass ceiling. They’re coming off an unbeaten regular season and Peach Bowl appearance, and they played an out-of-conference schedule that included two road games at preseason top-25 teams. They won both of those games, and even though Indiana has fallen off the map, the Notre Dame win was still a great game. Today, the AP Poll ranks the Bearcats second in the country.
