Worst part of the ranking is that all games from now on will only include CFP

The truest part of these rankings is that they're complete and total bullcrap.

If we play and beat Cincinatti, do they drop out of the G5 autobid?

No. They lose to us and they will still get the G5 autobid.

False. This is the 1st thing the football gods have done this year. Everything leading up to now was luck, work & covid

This is correct. They are in no real danger of losing an NY6 spot if they lose
