Just as an FYI, this is the American tie breaker:

Quote: 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.

We are in second place conference standing wise (along with Coog High and Memphis), trailing ECU and UCF.

First order of business: Win out!
That means Ws against Tulane, ECU, UConn, Temple and Houston. That would give UC a tie breaker advantage with ECU.

Second: Get Lucky!
Need UCF (who plays ECU) to drop at least one game, if not two.
Need Memphis to drop one more game

So, if we win out and get lucky, do we end up high enough in the Committee standings to get to the Access bowl even with three losses?

So there is no head to head tie breaker? Colorado State is 6-1 with wins against Colorado and Boston College. If they go 11-2 or 12-1 they will be on ECU's heels. (if ECU finishes at 11-1, 10-2). UCF has a shot at 10-2 but the last game is @ECU.

i think the Access bowl slot goes to the highest G5 school based on the committee rankings. CSU has a pretty clear path, but they might lose to Air Force. Marshall might run the table but their strength of schedule, as mentioned in another thread, is pretty poor. The problem right now is that i don't know where UC is in proximity to the rest of the field besides ECU (#23 in the committee poll).

So you posted proof that the tiebreaker does not include a h2h component and then said UC would have a tie breaker advantage with ECU. I'm a little confused at that part. The way I see it, we need the winner of UCF/ECU to lose a game to not UC and we need to win out.

LOL. Sorry, i mispoke. it would be based on committee poll position. Long day.

UC will not be in the Peach Bowl. That ended with the longest "kneel down" drive in history of 12+ minutes from Memphis.

ECU wins out, they are in.

If ECU loses one more game, they are out; and CSU is in if they win out. Air Force could also slip in with a win against the Rams while winning out the remainder of their schedule.

Otherwise its the pride of Huntington, who will not lose a game this year against that terrible schedule.

We aren't getting anywhere near the access slot. The goal is to win out and hope for a UCF loss so we can add another conference title to the wall in Nippert, add another trophy to the case, and put rings on the fingers of the players.

Peach Bowl will not happen even if we win out and win Championship. ECU wins out they are in. They ***** slapped NC and played SC close.

Marshall plays no one.

oh... that bowling. i heard sub is holding. and that's always fun
