Everyone is impressed with Georgia’s defense but Cincinnati is right behind them in pass defense.

They had a high ranked pass defense by the Norte Dame game so it isn’t so much how how weak their opponents are but how good Cincinnati actually is.

I see Oregon in the top 4 who lost to a bad Stanford team and there is no way I put a 1 loss Alabama #2. The committee always screws mid majors but Cincinnati is especially getting screwed.
