Ragin Cajun CFP chances

[Fais do-do]

Good for recruiting. The more we are mentioned the more eyes on the program.

Where does Washington State fit in? G6?

I think they would have to finish in the Top 12 to even be considered.

We need Big 12 teams to keep beating each other up. It is a little bit of a fantasy, but a 1 loss, conference champion Cajuns COULD potentially be ranked higher than say a 3 loss Big 12 champion.

Looking at the projected AP top 25, dont think we will be ranked this week after all. Do think we end up with more than 3 votes this weekend however

Now yall are starting to get it. Everyone got on my case for being dismissive about winning our 6th game.

We have to think bigger. Being in the hunt for the CFP up until the last few weeks of the season will do wonders for this program. Way more than some run of the mill bowl game.

Keep winning each game in front of us and let the chips fall where they may.

You can’t win your 7th until you win your 6th. The earlier you win the 6th the better chance there is that you win 9th, 10th, . . .

SBC and other perceived lower conferences have consistently beaten and competed with current BIG 12 teams. That conference is no better than the MWC, AAC, and SBC going forward. The pundits just try and make it a perception that they are. Remember top 5 highest ranked conference champs get in. Still a possibility that MWC, AAC, and or SBC get two of those the way the BIG 12 has fallen off the map. BYU is their top team that is undefeated which is basically a peer university of all the other old so called G5 conferences.

This is great publicity being in the CFP conversation and deserved. Every game from here on becomes a knock out game for Boise, Army, UL, etc. Great theatre that's for sure. Memphis just had its knock out game loss to UTSA. We need a three loss Tulane to overtake them. And of course we must win out. This season's first CFP rankings will be interesting to say the least.

I agree that a third Tulane loss is ideal. But what I don’t understand is their best win is vs. Louisiana. They lost both their P4 games and have only beaten G5s. If Wake Forest can somehow get to Bowl eligibility does a 12-1 Louisiana get in over an 11-2 Tulane? I don’t see Army beating Notre Dame and Memphis and Navy are now unranked with two losses. How good is that resume?

At the end of the day, it’s still a HUGE long shot for us. Our guys and coaches can only focus on the game in front of them. We haven’t really dominated anyone except Grambling and Kennesaw. There’s not much room for error in any of our remaining games.

That said, the fact we continue to find a way to win, despite not being able to outright dominate the game, certainly shows resiliency of our players, and a coaching staff with Coach Dez that evidently has this entire team bought in on “trusting the process”, and one way or another, it continues to keep working out with us having more points than the other team.

And for fans…it’s pretty damn cool to see our name up there with other teams and Gameday talking about our chances for a CFP slot. Honestly never thought I’d see the day.

It's all good, but first things first. WIN OUT our last 4 games, which then puts the Sun Belt Championship on CAJUN FIELD.
