There’s not a whole lot of debate to be had here. Whether you agree that Cincinnati is good enough to be in the College Football Playoff, they won all of their games and beat Notre Dame in the process.
No two-loss team has ever made the College Football Playoff and that trend continued this year at the expense of teams like Ohio State.
The College Football Playoff also revealed the major bowl game participants.
ACC champion Pitt will play Michigan State in the Peach Bowl while Oklahoma State and Notre Dame play in the Fiesta Bowl. On New Year’s Day, Utah and Ohio State go toe-to-toe in the Rose Bowl, while Ole Miss and Baylor play in the Sugar Bowl.
