FIU ( assuming they win next week in conference ) already would have a tie-breaker with MTSU and could lock up the east with a win the last game of season , even if MTSU beats us. Therefore, we could host if our College Playoff rankings were higher than theirs before the last game of the season ( according to what the CUSA playoff scheme appears to indicate) regardless of how we fare against MTSU... Am I right about this???

It is us going back to MTSU if we lose to MTSU, Thus giving MTSU the advantage in the head to head game.

OR

We host FIU if FIU wins their last 2 and we beat MTSU.

OR

We host MTSU if we beat MTSU and FIU loses their last two.

OR

We host MTSU if we beat MTSU, and Marshall wins their last two, forcing a 3 way tie in the East, that would eliminate FIU first as they would be 4-2 in the east, and MU & MTSU 5-1. Then MTSU would have won the head to head.

OR

We host FIU if we beat MTSU, and FIU loses to UTSA and beats Marshall. FIU won the head to head game against MTSU.

I think you are missing the situation with who the champion of the East would be if FIU wins their next 2 games,, then even if we lose to MTSU, FIU would still be the east champion since they already beat MTSU... right??? Then, the question would be who hosts , given that UAB and FIU would both have 7-1 records. According to my take on that, UAB might host based on us maybe still having the highest national rank...

I think we host reguardless because it’s CUAB and having the game at legion is the better story
