I know that was one of the old SWC tie breaker rules to determine who went to the Cotton Bowl in the event there was a SWC Co-Champion. Maybe that is what you were thinking.

Some other conferences do as well.

So we just need to win all of our AAC games and hope Louisville loses one

[Mustangsabu]

We go 3-1 in OOC or even 2-2 and tie Louisville in conference record I think we will be fine
