LGT Sunbelt Championship Final: Louisiana 3, Marshall 31

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Current rankings

Massey- has us 58 and marshall 65
Colley- has us 35 and marshall 37

Still waiting on Anderson & Hester ( had us 40 and Marshall 49 last week) and wolfe (had us 36 and Marshall 39 last week).

Don't see a way we don't host tbh

Construction shouldn’t affect anything. The championship game at App in 2019 their stadium was under construction.

Sad to see massey has us lower than other polls. I remember when we used to be highest in massey

Wow, hard to believe we deserved 8 spots in cbs for a win over monroe, ha.

Yesterday's "win over monroe, ha" wasn't exactly the pre-season #134 FBS squad everyone expected.

What does matter is the 23 spots higher than Marshall. That is the focus. Cajun Field for the Championship.

How far in advance would sunbelt have had to request to the ncaa to have a neutral site championship game?

This means nothing

This means nothing

I disagree. It may not be relevant for Sun Belt.....BUT....it is widely followed et all in entire country sees Louisiana ranked above TSAB at end of regular season.

This means nothing

What does "mean something" is the fact that this is not even a debate:

CBS Poll shows that we are 26 positions above Marshall, in a non-biased nor relevant poll in this particular area of focus, i.e. SBC host. Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe (which are relevant to this situation) already prove we will host.



HOST TIE BREAKER:
The following tie-breaker procedure is used to determine the host location for the Sun Belt Conference Football Championship game:

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 (Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe) 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. If the highest ranked team loses, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe) that include all games on the final weekend will be used to determine the division champion.

4. If none of the ranked teams win on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe) that include all games on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, will be used to determine the host;

5. If NO teams are ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings going into the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Massey, Colley and Wolfe) that include all games on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, will be used to determine the host;

6. If still tied, the team with the highest winning percentage against all common Conference opponents shall be the host;

7. If still tied, the team with the highest overall (Conference and non-Conference) winning percentage against FBS teams shall be the host;

8. If still tied, coin toss will be conducted by the Commissioner

If at any time during this analysis, any team(s) should gain an advantage over the other team(s) tied at that position, the team(s) holding the advantage shall move forward in the tiebreaking process while the other team(s) are eliminated. If it is reduced to a two-team tie at any point, the process shall then revert to the beginning of the tiebreaking procedures (tie between two teams) and shall be applied (in order) until the two-team tie is broken.

Context matters. Swamp said the Cajuns are 23 spots ahead of Marshall and championship game at CF. The poll we are 23 spots ahead in does not factor in to hosting.
