AAC Championship - Tie Breakers

[smuhype]

Does anyone know what the official Tie-Breakers are for AAC Championship Game?

My understanding that if we are tied with UTSA or Tulane it will come down to CFP rankings becomes the host of the game.

Can anyone here confirm?

head to head is 1st tie breaker and then highest CFP ranking so yes to your question

Need Memphis and UTSA to each lose one more conference game to give us a little wiggle room.

The hope is that we can run the table and be ranked and meet a highly ranked Tulane team in the Conference Championship. Would be a good chance then that the winner of that game would get the NY6 bowl. Would also help if Airforce loses one.

What's the tie-breaker if neither team is in the CFP rankings? (Don't those stop at 25?)

AAC tiebreaker rules:

If regular season ends and the Championship Game is scheduled for the next Saturday, the following tiebreakers are used:

if one of the tied teams wins in the final week it will be in the Championship. If that team loses, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.
If both teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings, the higher ranked team that wins in the final weekend will be in the Championship.
If neither of the tied teams ranked in the latest CFP Rankings win, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.
If no teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings rankings, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.

The following procedures are used when there's a multiple team tie.

The team with higher CFP Ranking; If a team or teams lose in the final weekend of the Conference season to create a tie, and there are subsequent CFP rankings, those subsequent rankings break ties.
