There's no telling how this virus-infected season is going to play out, but with the Big Ten and Pac-12 on the sidelines, expect a big push from sportswriters like Dodd for the top G5 team to be included in the CFP.

It could happen. I fully expect the 2nd best SEC team to have two losses. Would viewers really want a Bama/Florida match up for a second time, or worse, a Bama/Georgia for a third?

Cincinnati’s roughest game is @ COVID #21 UCF. That dork thinks an undefeated Cincinnati would get in over a 2 loss or even 3 loss SEC team that will have played upwards of SEVEN teams ranked ahead of UCF and beaten five to six teams ranked higher than them?

Dodd is a fool.

It is not totally out of the question that a G5 team gets in this year. All it would take would be a 2-3 loss Big 12 Champ or the second place team from the SEC having 2-3 losses.

Now of course said G5 team would get absolutely smashed by Bama or Clemson, but I could totally see one of them sneaking in if they run the table. The AAC will never have a better chance to get a team in than this year.

Yes, especially if the first game was close and both are still highly-ranked. As for a Bama/Georgia meeting for the third time, yes, if the teams split the first two games. Otherwise, no.

The top G5 team really needs to be undefeated to have a shot. Between the ACC, Big 12 and SEC, there will likely be at least one non-conference champ that will make for an attractive fourth team for the CFP.
