Cincinnati really needs more Chaos to get to the playoffs. As the season plays out, other schools that will play in (and win) big games will jump them. What they need is to have almost all P5 schools to have 2 losses. There is a good chance that 1-loss P5 teams will jump them by the end of the year, especially if they are conference champions or named Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, etc.
They should be rooting for :
* Cincinnati to finish undefeated.
* Realistically, Georgia and Iowa aren't going to finish with 2 losses so they should root for them to finish undefeated. Georgia beating Alabama in the SEC championship game and Iowa beating Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. This will cause many other contenders - i.e. Alabama, Ohio State, etc. to finish with multiple losses.
* PAC/ACC/Big XII teams to finish with two losses.
* Chaos in the Big Ten East. Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State beating each other up. Indiana rising up and showing some life knocking off a few of those teams would help a lot too. They are BIG Indiana fans right now.
* Notre Dame finishing with one loss or preferably a second loss to a really good team. One loss Notre Dame shouldn't jump Cincinnati, but you never know.
