I think they're closer than some people realize. Once you get past Bama (who lets face it, they're going to repeat), Clemson, and ND, every team has had some suspect performances. Hell even Clemson and ND have had a scare or two. That alone doesn't mean they deserve a spot, but lets not act like the top 10 teams are untouchable.
I have to say UH looks the scariest to me this year. When you have every thing clicking, you look unstoppable.
I think we may be slightly better than UCF this year, but honestly we're pretty similar. Good offenses, suspect secondary's. Both teams have extremely talented play makers, especially at the QB position. With that said the CCG would likely be played in Orlando and if it is, UCF would unquestionably be the favorite. Game would be a shootout similar to the CCG last year. One of those last team with the ball wins kind of games. Hopefully it happens.
The only difference is Houston will lose to Temple.

Maybe, I'm more worried about @Memphis but we're capable of winning or losing any of our remaining games. Armstead's health will be a significant factor in the outcome. Him getting hurt last night seemed to slow you guys down quite a bit.

Pitt is tied for 1st in the ACC coastal division. UCF waxed them.

The CFP committee over ranking Virginia to keep Houston out of the polls back fired. Pitt continues to win games and expose the ACC.

That might be Pitt's quality loss. Will be ranked ahead of you guys soon. Back-handed compliment from the CFP Committee.

I think any time a team loses they've actually made a strong case for being ranked ahead of the team that beat them. Because when you think about it, on one hand you have a team that actually went out and scheduled somebody with a pulse while on the other you have a team that's just beating up on cupcakes. A case could be made then that UConn is deserving of a playoff spot because they've hardly beaten anyone!

Imagine the number of TV sets tuned in if UCONN gets selected as one of the four CP teams. Riots in the streets, over-turned cars, National Guard troops called up. And this would all be before kickoff. Theater.
P6 baby!

Don't worry about Memphis. You guys have a mobile QB. Our QB can't throw in the rain or when facing pressure. Bloodbath will ensue.

We've split our last four games against each other with each game being decided by four points or less. Toss in the fact that the games being played in Memphis, I'd have to be a fool to not worry about you guys. Doesn't mean I don't think we'll win but it certainly wouldn't shock me if yall beat us.
