Tiebreaker
Here's the new tiebreaker rule.
2014 Regular Season Tiebreaker Procedure: For the 2014 season, the American Athletic Conference Football Champion will be the team that finishes the regular season with the highest winning percentage in conference games. If more than one team has the same winning percentage, the tied teams are declared co-champions. To determine the College Football Playoff/Host Bowl representative, the co-champion ranked highest by the College Football Playoff Committee will be eligible to receive the automatic bid shared with Conference USA, the Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt conferences.
At first, I was a little surprised that ranking would be used even when the co-champs played heads up and one beat the other, but I guess it makes sense for this one year.
Now I know why Mack Rhoades paid $400K to UNLV to repace Tenn Tech. He feared he would be screwed on any tiebreaker based simply on SOS.
