Yeah SOS is going to be a big factor. I think if we have a team within 1 game of Marshall we would get the nod. But given their schedule that may mean we need an 11-1 team. With a lot of our top teams playing tough OOC games it could get interesting. I will say this is they do select Marshall and they get rolled it could help us in the long term just like No. Illinois.

I'd be more worried about an undefeated ULL with a win over Boise taking an access slot vs a 1-2 loss AAC team.

They play a D2 schedule. If they don't win all those games with the thugs, convicts, drop outs, etc that they have on their team, itll be a travesty.

Amen! 04-bow

Obviously, SOS doesn't count for Access Bowl inclusion. Only the American and maybe, MWC deserve consideration.

Has a Sun Belt team ever even been ranked???? I mean they were never once in the discussions for a BCS game so I seriously doubt they make the CFP anytime soon.

Yes they have been ranked but no never enough to be in BCS discussion at the end of the season.

Yeah that is what I thought. I just don't see them in the conversation. I honestly think it will be an American or MWC team the majority of the time but I guess we shall see. That is why they play the games.

Brett McMurphy/Mark Schlabach projections

BM's bowl teams= Connecticut, Houston, East Carolina, Cincinnati, Navy*,UCF ...GoF to Marshall

MS's bowl teams= East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Tulane, Navy*, SMU, UCF, Cincinnati... GoF to Cincinnati

What is interesting is MS has 7 of the 11 teams making it and yet BM only has 5 and didn't even pick the same teams. Just shows you there is a lot of parity at the bottom. I think we will be much stronger from top to bottom than last season. Just glad to see ECU get some love. The other couple I have seen didn't have them at all which is strange considering I think most people have them in the top 4.

I tend to agree. I'm not trying to stir the pot, but that schedule is ridiculous.

Why wouldn't any other 1-loss G-5 team, with a more difficult schedule, get the nod over Marshall.....similar to the "SEC Rule" that's always being debated in reference to the National Championship game.

This year will be the litmus test to see how the committee judges the top team for the G5. Will they simply look at the team with the best won/loss record or will the do a more in-depth evaluation? I think we need to see how this year plays out before coming to that conclusion.

Relax. The committee can see right through Marshall's schedule. There are about 4 AAC teams that would have a chance to go undefeated with that schedule.

That actually makes perfect sense because who they play. This is their schedule...tell.me which game they lose?

@ Miami (OH) bad MAC team
vs. Rhode Island bad FCS team
vs. Ohio so so [/color]MAC team
@ Akron bad MAC team
@ Old Dominion essentially an FCS team
vs. Middle Tennessee so so CUSA team
@ Florida International horrible CUSA team
vs. Florida Atlantic so so CUSA team
@ Southern Miss horrible CUSA team
vs. Rice decent CUSA team, basically the only threat
@ UAB horrible CUSA team
vs. Western Kentucky honestly, I have no idea

Northern Illinois has already proven that an undefeated team playing a lump of human excrement week in and week out will get to an access bowl, so Marshall getting the bid would come as no surprise.

Marshall's 2014 schedule is worse, much worse than anything NIU has played. It's worse than a lump of human excrement. Anything less than undefeated is failure with this pathetic excuse for a football schedule.

Didnt Ohio just lose their long time QB/RB combo? I dont really know anything about them until we played them in a bowl game. I think those guys were nearly all their offensive production. Could be tough to replace.

Don't think we have much to worry about. The likelihood of a school going undefeated, especially one that is not an "elite" is not very good no matter the schedule. It's simply a tough thing to do.

ODU doesn't have the D to beat them. Rice is the only real threat. But, they will like face UTSA inthe Title game. UTSA might have enough to take them. They could go 12-0 and choke it away in the championship game. That would be funny.

I didn't read the whole thread but...I'm confused...So is the Access slot for G5 the Peach or Cotton next year? Does anybody have a link to the rotations?
