A reshuffling of the top 4 this week with UGA, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame all very close. Georgia and Cincinnati in particular are in a precarious position, with each facing a strong opponent in their conference game. UTSA continues to squeak by with close wins, though the network doesn’t care about margins. Notre Dame only has Stanford left, so barring a catastrophe, they should be safe. But, if Cincinnati loses, that will impact Notre Dame as well, likely dropping them from the top 4 also.
