Memphis and Tulane play to end the season with the winner clinching one of the two spots. The second spot will most likely go to Cincinnati (will play SMU and ECU). The Bearcats have already defeated Tulane (play USF this week) but will not played Memphis (play Houston this week).

What happens if all 3 finish 6-2 OR even if Tulane is 7-1 while Memphis and Cincy tie at 6-2?

Based on last year's tiebreakers for the CCG it would be h2h, then CFP, then computer rankings. So my guess would be Cin vs Mem if all 3 finish tied, and Tul vs Cin as I doubt Cin would fall below Mem in the computer rankings. Also the refs made bad calls in our losses. :cheers

Memphis is having a good season with only 2 losses; a 21-31 heartbreaker at home against Mississippi State and a 31-32 home upset by SMU. They haven't been boatracing anyone though; their only FBS wins by >1 score are 51-7 over UTSA and 38-7 over Navy, both nice wins.

Cincinnati has a ranking edge over Memphis primarily because that extra loss is against Notre Dame (considered a 'gimmie' for ND), though the game ended up 27-32. Cincy also has 4 FBS wins >1 score.
