[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1568027, member: 746137"] Let's cut through the propaganda here: When the Playoff was created, the understanding was that a team like Cincinnati would get the fourth spot. The committee has been very clever from Day 1 about protecting it's own legitimacy as its primary objective. Taking Ohio State to avoid making the Baylor/TCU decision that first year was brilliant politics. But the fact that this whole thing is nakedly a cartel of the Power Five conferences has always been lurking in the background and DROPPING Cincinnati in last week's rankings to keep them out of the discussion was the "mask off" moment.
