Link? Would love to read



I can't get it to copy so here it is:
If this were to happen we have 5 teams at 6-2 and big ol mess.

Tulane 5-1 Loss to SMU, Win over Cinci
Cinci 5-1 Win over Temple, Loss to Tulane
UCF 5-1 loss to either Navy or USF
Houston 4-2 Wins over both ECU and Tulsa
SMU 4-2 Wins over both Tulane and Memphis

Whoa, so in this scenario UCF is in... Houston is out with us over them. I'm tired and maybe not thinking straight.. what is the tie breaker criteria for Tulane, Cincinnati and SMU?

Basically sounds like it's based on CFP Rankings if there's no way out of a tiebreaker. If that still doesn't work then they use an average of multiple computer rankings (that I've never heard of).

However in that scenario:
UCF already beat Cincy, Tulane, and SMU so I think they're in.

Not sure about the rest... this would probably come down to the average of multiple computer rankings:
Tulane beat Houston and Cincy.
SMU beat Tulane and Houston.
Cincinnati only beat SMU.
Houston beat nobody.

Most likely scenario:

SMU wins out.
Tulane loses to Cincy.

UCF and Cincy play in CCG.

SMU finishes 3rd.

In that scenario, after going undefeated,Tulane loses at least three in a row.
