If App beats Coastal and both Louisiana and Coastal are 11-1, Louisiana would have the best conference record.
If both teams have the same Conference record, the tiebreaker is CFP ranking. I believe that our loss to Texas in game 1 will not hurt us as bad as a Week 8 loss to a 2 loss App will hurt Coastal. In fact, I expect our ranking will pass Coastal's immediately after their Week 8 loss. After we win out, we will have wins over everyone in conference that we played, plus a win over a very good Liberty team. Outside of conference, Coastal's best win will be Buffalo.
Also, if we win out in conference play and Coastal loses a conference game, we host, regardless of ranking and regardless of who wins the East
I think playing at home is always what is best for the team and our fans. All of us fans can do our part to make a statement nationally by simply showing up and attending home games in person. Just the visual appearance of 30,000 - 35,000 in Cajun Field to the TV audience would go a long way in improving our appeal on the national scene. Not to mention what it would do to the atmosphere in Cajun Field. For those reading this post that have not been to a Cajun game when the attendance has been 26,000 or more, it doesn't even feel like the same place.
I said before the season started that app would be playing in Lafayette twice this year. I’m not so sure about that anymore. I’m hoping they beat coastal then drop another game so we get coastal at home. I’m also fine with going to an undefeated coastal and having the opportunity for revenge.
Of course this whole conversation is contingint on Louisiana running the table, but I'm not getting the importance of "and drops another game" for App or Coastal.
If App beats Coastal, the championship is at the Swamp.
