MAGIC DISHWASHER: A dumb question

I'm sure that this has been covered, somewhere in the vast collection of 
posts that is the MAGIC DISHWASHER, but indulge me, please. (Or at least 
point me to the relevant post!)

Thinking about Portkeys just then made me wonder...
What part of the plan covered the possibility of Cedric (or one of the other 
Champions) and not Harry touching the Triwizard Cup? Or was Crouch/Moody just 
too arrogant to consider the possibility that he couldn't guarantee Harry 
getting there first?
It very nearly happened, didn't it? If Cedric had been less noble about the 
whole thing, he alone would have been transported to the Graveyard. What 
then?
