Then:
2a/b: 2 loss MWC champ (either Boise of CSU)
3a/b: 3 loss AAC champ if the others lose.

The AAC has a shot, but we need help!

Yesterday sealed the deal for Marshall. They escaped a loss to a mediocre team. They have to literally blow everyone out in that schedule to prove they deserve that spot. Even then?...The committee is setting a dangerous precedent by selecting them.

G5 has to be a champion, ECU has almost no chance of that. It will be Boise, Co State, or Marshall. It will not go past those 3.

For a AAC champ to get it, Marshall would have to lose, and Boise lose the MWC champ game. Then one of Cincy, Memphis, and UCF could get it.

In what world is ECU above Cincy - a team they lost to - because they beat 2 ACC fringe bowl teams?

To be fair it could've gone either way.

If that scenario comes to pass....I hope ECU does not get the access bowl. We do not deserve it. We have not played high level football over the last 6 games. We are a decent team that can be good. We are not great by any stretch of the term. I would think that bowl spot would be filled by a great team.

I am heartbroken to say....THIS.

Unfortunately, UCF is the same IMO. I've seen nothing that points to a great team. Certainly no better than the other three at the top. Each could beat each other. Cincy beat ECU but it was pretty evident the two teams are mirrors of each other. Memphis is the closest thing this conference has to the great team...better than the rest of the conference but still not that "great" team we all hope we'd be if we got into the Access bowl. I'd prefer the AAC got it for selfish reasons and would pray, pray, pray we were competitive so the negative press wouldn't be any worse than it currently is.

Just like TCU escaping a loss on the road to a mediocre Kansas team has sealed their fate of reaching the Final Four of the CFB Playoff as well right?

You are proving, in that one particular situation, the point that P5 teams are treated differently than G5 teams. You are not proving his statement incorrect though.

What the hell are you talking about man? You do know the talking heads were ready to move TCU down several spots after that near fatal loss to Kansas. The committee said otherwise. My point is UAB isn't a mediocre team like many of you would like for them to be. Granted they are 5-6 now but outside of the Arkansas beatdown has played well all season.

If Marshall fate is sealed, it won't be because of one loss. See you back at your 2nd home, the CUSA Board.

CSU has 4 one possession wins this year, plus a loss. One of those was against a 3-8 SJSU team that out gained them by 90 yards. CSU is 79th in total D and is equally bad against the pass and run, 80th and 85th.

Unfortunately, there are no real good G5 candidates for the Access bowl...at least none the G5 could get behind and feel confident that team would take it to the cartel. It is exactly what the P5 needs to prove its point.

Do I have to spell it out? TCU has beaten good teams, Marshall hasn't.

Actually biggie, I didn't even know the results until after and didn't even know Marshall played today. I had a very busy day. I checked the site saw the news. I was just planning on making time for the ECU Tulsa game later. This is funnier than sh!t!! Only thing funnier is a certain ECU expansion fan talking bout WK to the AAC in another thread! Good win for the coogs today bro! You guys are finishing strong!
