I'm not sure that's fair...

I know it's cool to bag on Cincinnati these days, but, according to Sagarin, here's how things would look against that SEC slate:

@Alabama: Bama favored by 13
Texas A&M: Cincy by 2
@Ole Miss: Ole Miss by 2
@Mississippi State: Cincy by 4
Auburn: Cincy by 4
Arkansas: Cincy by 10

@Kentucky: Cincy by 4
Florida: Cincy by 10

The only obvious loss here is Bama. I doubt they'd win all of the rest, but 5-2 certainly seems manageable, so let's go with 5 wins against these 8 teams.

Who would do better than that? Again, according to Sagarin, we're really only talking about Georgia, Bama, and Ohio State.

I've got no problem with Cincinnati in the playoffs.
