Ragin Cajun CFP chances

[Big Buds]

But they still beat us.

No doubt. But 41 votes? And if WF can get to 6+ wins and we get to 12-1…we have a seriously good resume up against theirs.

Duckster gave a good basic explanation. also consider when comparing resumes, that task is up to the committee. the AP/coaches polls are for media hype and etc. tuesday we geet the 1st taste of whats important to the CFP

If, unlikely, but if, it comes down to Tulane as AAC champion and Louisiana, as SBC champion, for the playoff, it will be difficult to overcome the results of the head-to-head contest. Especially given the disparity in SOS for the two teams.

I don’t understand how greedy ESPN/powers that be don’t see the obvious money making potential behind a playoff where all conf champs get in. It makes many more of the games they show all season meaningful. 16 teams. All conf champs get in, 7 at large. Fair to all conferences and almost no chance a team with an actual chance to win the title gets left out. AND so many more meaningful games late in the season to show all week.

they just don’t think G5’s really add to an increased value being in the mix . . . A they want NO more than 1 in there but will live with 2

But they still beat us.

And Alabama beat UGA
A week later after getting beat by Vandy, UGA was ranked higher if I recall
So it seems head to head doesn’t always matter to voters

Tulane has temple, navy, and Memphis left and a potential AAC champ game. Memphis or navy can hopefully upset them. That would almost lock up army in the drivers seat. Boise would need to lose to Oregon state in the season finale or lose in the mwc champ game. Neither likely but one could hope.

Then there’s army. Let’s assume they lose to ND. Then win the rest. I’d think a 1 loss army gets in ahead of us. But they have no quality wins now. They would have to beat navy and unt and win the aac champ game.

Looking at all 4 teams ( Boise, army, Tulane, UL) remaining schedules. I’d say Boise had the highest chance of getting in and the Cajuns second highest.

[Jacob81]

Army has beaten
Lehigh
FAU
UAB
Rice
ECU
Temple
Tulsa
Air Force

Still have
@UNT
ND @ Yankees stadium
UTSA
Navy

I’d say their 4 toughest games on the schedule remain.

[Big Buds]

Army is fool’s gold. They will be 9-3 at seasons end.

[CajunVic]

Army is fool’s gold. They will be 9-3 at seasons end.

I only accept that type of opinion from jTj. he is the only poster immanently qualified to identify fools gold.

[Boomer]

Army is fool’s gold. They will be 9-3 at seasons end.

…..More teams are now ready to play against the Army/Navy offensive looks and schemes….Geaux Cajuns!

[HOUCajun]

Anyone with eyes can see they're a good team. Who you lose to matters. They should most certainly be ranked ahead of UL

They got hosed on an offense PI against OU. Probably cost them that game

That was the Kansas state game but point is valid.

They kept it somewhat close in the OU game while the Sooners were actually healthy. I think if they played today Tulane would beat them

Tulane had a defensive td in that game to make it look closer than it was.
