Games of Interest Week 12 Tulane falls to Memphis

[Esqueleto]

I calculated the average of the 3 rankings (Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley ) which SBC may use to determine..we are currently ranked 8 spots better than Marshall

If they beat JMU does that boost them ahead of UL with a ULM win? I think it'll be close

A beating a 3 loss JMU should not be that much of a boost

You would think so, but for some reason, the computers seem to love JMU.

I dont see them jumpin over 8 spots. They would have to absolutely romp JMU. I think if we both had the same amount of losses a win over JMU would get them over us.

Does that fact that ULM beat JMU help us?

ULM is considerably below JMU in the computer rankings that I have seen.

id imagine it keeps things a wash if we both win

Tulane vs Memphis is the only college game on thanksgiving. I’ll be watching for sure, or snoring.

Louisiana would OWN that day (nation wide) if they had only stuck to tradition.

Actually, it's "the average of 4 rankings: Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe" (no Harvard comma after Colley, even though it is needed for clarity).

Sch	UL	MU
A&H	40	49
Mas	62	70
Coll	31	38
Wlf	36	39
Tot	169	196
Avg	42.25	49

It seems unlikely that the change after potential victories over JMU & ULM would make a large difference, but there is no easy way to tell.

It doesn't change anything. The sine qua non is winning Saturday.

(Some day ask me about when I was in the Navy, and was the guest aboard a teakwood yacht in Hong Kong harbor, named 'The Sinequan.')

Actually, a way to estimate the changes occurred to me. Look at the average rankings of JMU & ULM, and assume they will be 1/12 of the total. I think that by taking our current combined ranking, multiplying it times 11, adding in the ULM combined ranking, then dividing the total by 12 might do it??

I don't have time today, but if someone does it would make for another considerations.
