Tie breakers and App-CCU game

[Jacob81]

If Cajuns, app, and coastal all have one conference loss. I think app wins the east over coastal with the head to head. Then we host because the head to head over app. So we could lose 1 game. But we can’t lose it to tx state and have them win out. They would then have the tie breaker over us.

But just suppose that App does not win out, and CCU does win the east? Since we do not play CCU in regular, and assuming that we both have 1 loss, would not ranking come into play? Here is what the official SBC rules say:

1. Head to head result between tied teams;

2. If still tied, if one team was ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings and wins in the final weekend of the conference regular season, it will be declared the host. If in that same scenario, the team that was the highest-ranked team in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings loses in the final weekend of the conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings will be used to determine the host;

3. If there are multiple teams ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings, the highest-ranked team that wins in the final weekend of the conference regular season will be declared the host;

So of course, if Appy wins out there is no question; I've never been more of an App fan then now.

Overall conference record trumps ranking.

We control our own destiny.

If we

we host.

LaCajunsFan those are the tiebreakers.

However if one team has the better conference record, the two teams are not tied.

But that's just it: if we both have just one loss, than would that not be a tie?

If the east and west have the same record it goes head to head, if you didn’t play it goes to ranking.

Yes

Thank you, that's what I thought. But yeah it all goes away if....when...we win out. I am a
fatalist I guess and always need to know worst case scenario, lol.

Just win the rest of our games. Nothing else matters
