No

In a normal season, Cincy gets more respect than Wake because the W/L record of the Bearcats is generally a lot better.

If both teams are undefeated at the end the season, Wake's schedule is much tougher. Wake will need 6 P5 wins on the road (and 10 P5 wins overall). Cincy is getting the current buzz because they won 2 P5 games on the road (plus the game against the Domers got extra media attention)...Cincy's future opponents are in the AAC, which has much weaker programs than the ACC. It would not be a close call for the CFP committee.

Wake's chances of going undefeated may be small, but any undefeated P5 conference champ will easily beat any undefeated G5 champion.

Oh I agree that a P5 team gets in ahead of Cincinnati. My point was Wake and their lack of pedigree is Cincinnati’s only hope.
