Cotton Bowl dreams up in smoke?
The latest College Football Playoff rankings are out and they are not looking good for Boise State despite moving up one spot to No. 19. Moving up is good but the real issue that Cincinnati dropped only one spot is at No. 20 after its loss to Memphis, who are at No. 17.
It also seems like the #CFBPlayoff is built more to manufacture drama than it is to be objective. Cincinnati dropping only one spot makes absolutely no sense given the committee's past precedence.

Memphis and Cincinnati are playing again for the AAC title game, so it will be another ranked matchup for both teams. Clearly, if the Tigers win they are in the Cotton Bowl and logic would seem to put the Bearcats in the same position and jump Boise State who faces a 9-4 Hawaii who is not on the same level as either AAC team.
However, there is a some reason to be an optimist for Boise State to make into the Cotton Bowl based on Memphis only moving up one spot after topping the Bearcats.
If this logic holds to next weekend, there's nothing to suggest that Cincinnati beating Memphis on Saturday is magically going to be that much more valuable than Memphis beating UC was last Saturday. Boise moves up one, UC moves up one, Memphis drops two; Boise goes to NY6.
