everybody is playing shaky
If the selection comes down to us vs a shaky UC, or vs other 1-loss teams, or even vs 2-loss Alabama, I think we need to show we're playing our best ball right now. I think the committee does pretty good due diligence (and they are historically kind to us, I believe). If Cincinnati nearly blows it against SMU (a very real possibility) and we're hanging 40-50 on our remaining sched it's entirely possible the committee would jump us up.
