On a serious note! Are we really looking at seven bowl-eligible teams for the Sunbelt?
Tulane seems primed to lock down that 12 playoff spot. But with the Sunbelt boasting so many bowl-eligible programs, if JMU wins the Sun Belt, wouldn’t they have a legitimate case to slide into that coveted No. 12 spot instead of Tulane?
American i think will have 7 bowl eligible teams as well? The only reason on keeping JMU out is SOS becauae they will have a better record then Tulane.
I guess my real question is this: how do they justify calling the American a “better” conference when we have just as many bowl-eligible teams as they do? If JMU wins the Sun Belt, they’d actually have a better record than Tulane so wouldn’t that strengthen their case for the No. 12 spot?
