It is highest ranked conference champion. I can’t see them in any way, shape or form, putting in a three loss G5 team. Besides, the lost to UTEP was prior to us firing our horrific offensive coordinator and our statue of a quarterback entering the transfer portal. Our new quarterback is 6’6, 220 pounds and is a junior version of Vince Young. And he’s a redshirt freshman. We haven’t lost since he has taken over. But yes, our schedule is terrible. But you can only play the teams on your schedule.

depends

i think ucf and cincy would get it at 3 loss in the scenario they lost ot tulane in the regular season, and then beat tulane in the ccg (at that point tulane would be top 12 in the rankings).. this scenario wouldn't be close

ecu and boise would be close... id lean towarsds ecu becuase ecu still has cincy and houston...and who ever ecu fans in aac champiosnhip is going to be more touted than boise has the rest of the way ... fresno and wyoming arent geting browniee points

if im honest houston probably gets the nod over ecu as well....houston winning out eliminates ecu, thus guaranteeing whoever we play in the ccg will be ranked ..

If Tulane beats UCF and loses to Cincy in game #12 but beats UC in the CCG . Tulane would finish 11-2; Cincy, 10-3. Seems like Tulane would probably get the NY6 bid in that event, unless they were to win the CCG on a fluke play/bad call.

Let’s just say Coastal and Boise still have an outside chance, but will each need help even if they run the gauntlet to finish with just 2 Ls.

Best way to summarize it. Although Boise looks like they're legitimately rolling, while Coastal is good but has been shakey at times and could still lose another.

1. Tulane, last week: 2
Despite a bye week, the Green Wave moved up in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll, coming in at No. 19. Saturday features a date with Tulsa before a huge matchup with our other ranked Group of Five team in Central Florida. Tulane still sits atop the best G5 conference in the country at 4-0 in AAC play.

2. UCF, last week: 8
The Knights never seemed fazed in last week’s victory over our previous No. 1-ranked team in this poll, defeating Cincinnati and earning a spot in the AP Top 25 at No. 25. Mikey Keene guided UCF on a late game-winning drive that was capped by RJ Harvey’s second touchdown run of the day:

3. Cincinnati, last week: 1
It’s been eight weeks since Cincy hasn’t been the top team in this poll. The Bearcats suffered their second loss of the season at UCF and their shot at an AAC title might have gone down the drain, just as their dreams of a New Year’s Six Bowl did. At least they still have last year’s CFP appearance to hang their hats on.

4. Troy, last week: 3
The Trojans have dropped a spot from last week’s poll, but it’s no knock on them. Troy was on a bye last week following its big Week 8 win over South Alabama. Arguably one of the most consistent teams on this list, the Trojans visit Louisiana-Lafayette as 5.5-point favorites based on the college football betting odds via BetMGM.

5. ECU, last week: 7
Maybe the Pirates should have been invited to replace Texas or Oklahoma in the Big 12. For the second consecutive week, ECU knocked off a future Big 12 squad, proving the win over UCF two weeks ago wasn’t a fluke by backing it up with a win over BYU. Even though the Cougars are on a four-game losing streak, it was a huge win for the Pirates as bowl season creeps closer.

Coastal Carolina tonight bested Appy 35-21.
Coastal is now 8-1 and finishes with USM, @UVA, @JMU

That's a huge win for Coastal Carolina.

If any team is truly "in control of its destiny" at this point, Coastal may be, since they should be able to beat any of the teams they will play the rest of the way.

It won't be easy, but if they can go 12-1, they might be able to earn the NY6 bowl spot.

Maybe USM can do us a favor and knock them off?

Coastal will get it 100%

Tulsa will probably ruin Tulsane this week so we can save monty and make it to the camelia bowl for a rematch of ODU

How will Coastal get it 100%? UCF and Tulane are ranked for the CFP and Coastal is not. If either one wins out, they will have further ranked wins. Coastal is not playing anyone ranked for the rest of the season and simply winning out will not suddenly get them ranked and jump UCF or Tulane should they win out because these two play each other and would have further ranked wins.

Ain't happening........

Don’t try to wrap your head around it, it’s nonsense. They were excited after their win and not using logic. Coastal still has 3 difficult matchups to end the season and won’t be favored in all of them. . . And ya know- aren’t even ranked yet

No reason for you all to worry about this, it is very easy, UC is going to win out and then beat Tulane in CG, they will represent.....

Doesn't really matter who goes as long as the AAC has a representative. Cincy won't be getting the money anyway. For UCF, it may be a minute before we win another championship if we don't do it this year.

if Coastal wins out I think they will get it.

I dont think Tulsane wins out. They have N Kentucky, UCF and SMU and Tulsa.

They will lose one of those games.

I just want anyone other than N Kentucky

If Coastal goes 12-1, they will probably be ranked in the top 20 or top 25.

If UC, UCF, or Tulane loses another game, they might not be ranked, or might end up being ranked behind a 12-1 CCU team.

At best, Cincy/UCF can finish 11-2.

Moreover, either Tulane or UCF will lose the Tulane-UCF game, either Tulane or Cincy will lose the Tulane-Cincy game, and it's likely that one of these 3 teams will lose the AAC CCGame.

There's no telling who the NY6 G5 rep will be. "Loose ball..."

True, they'll be ranked. The only question would be whether they'd be ranked ahead of a 12-1 Coastal.

If one of them has two loses, that means they win out. That also means that during the process of winning out, the will tally more ranked wins. What planet would Coastal be able to not only get ranked but jump teams that are already ranked by beating more non ranked teams? If they were playing 2 to 3 ranked teams, maybe they can make up the ground.......but they don't.
