Agree that Cincy is much more likely to get the NY6 than is Boise, but he does have a point about ECU, though. Cincy was extremely lucky to beat ECU, gave up 35 first downs and 640 yards to that dreadful team, and needed very good fortune in the 4th Q to squeak by.

And Boise barely beat a bad San Jose St team....

10 points over a team with a P5 road win vs Cincy with a 3 point escape vs an awful ECU team, or Memphis that got lucky to beat a bad Tulsa, or SMU that squeaked by Tulsa, and a tanking Houston team.


All the teams in contention have had games they easily could have lost.

Cincy's loss was a blowout (yet they get SOS credit for it), the others had close losses (although to be fair, Navy/Memphis/SMU had to lose to each other.

But Boise doesn't have a single good win to their credit.... that's their problem, and there's nothing in the MWC that helps them....

They have a P5 win (can't help it that Taggart sucks), 7-2 AF, Wyoming is currently 6-2, would have San Diego State if they finish up strong.

All the AAC hangs there hat on is wins over each other.

What is the best OOC win for the AAC?

Cincy over UCLA?


AAC has 1 P5 win over a team with a winning record.

AAC got a huge SOS boost by scheduling and getting crushed by good teams (OSU, Okla, Auburn, Wisconsin, Okla State, Mich State, etc)

well the AAC has gone 3-0 vs the MWC with wins over 2 of the 4 best teams in the league in Air Force and Wyoming.

The MWC also has exactly 1 P5 win over a team with a winning record. oops... Might want to fact check stuff with the MWC before you use something dude.

Book it. If AAC champ has 1 loss, they will be the G5 rep. Period. Not a ******* thing Boise can do about it. Not a ******* thing the MWC can do about it..... other than cry like little babies about it.

Good Lord steve you are being dense. 99% of us are agreeing that a 1-loss Memphis or SMU or Navy will be the AAC reps. Slightly less chance if it is Cincy.

But you keep insisting that a TWO-loss AAC champ is clearly superior to a 1-loss Boise. Great, that is your opinion. But don't put words into my or other posters mouths.

Stop being a little f****** b&&&& about that.

Air Force is Boise's best win and Navy has one of those, too.
You want to hype Wyoming, who lost to Tulsa, who is at the bottom of the AAC.

mwc and AAC wins vs "P5" by Massey Composite Ranking
SMU 41, @TCU 38 #40 AAC
@Wyoming 37, Missouri 31 #49 - mwc
@UCF 45, Stanford 27 #52 AAC
@Cincinnati 24, UCLA 14 #54 AAC
San Diego State 23, @UCLA 14 #54 mwc
Boise State 36, @Florida State 31 #61 mwc
@Hawaii 31, Oregon State 28 #64 mwc
@Memphis 15, Ole Miss 10 #73 AAC
@Nevada 34, Purdue 31 #80 mwc
@Hawaii 45, Arizona 38 #84 mwc

That's about even.

no, there are a lot of dumb ***** on here who think that a ONE loss AAC champ can get beat by Boise.

I agree that a TWO loss AAC champ doesn't get in over a one loss Boise. BUT I could easily see a TWO loss AAC champ get in over a ONE loss San Diego State team. Really want to see who gets in next- UCF or San Diego St.

Not reading posts and saying things are dumb is dumb.

I said Boise wouldn’t get in over a 1 loss AAC champ. Period. End of discussion. SMU can win out and not win their division, rendering a 1 loss SMU ineligible to get the G5 champ. Cincy and Memphis can essentially eliminate one another. Cincy also showed vulnerability against a horrible ECU team.

I also said a 2 loss AAC champ will not get in over 1 loss Boise.

RE: G5 New Year 6 Bowl Race
I'll say it: a 2-loss AAC champ deserves to get in over Boise.

Boise's loss is to a worse team (4-4 BYU) than any Cincinnati (Ohio State), SMU (Memphis), Navy (Memphis), or Memphis (6-3 Temple). Both of UCF's losses (Cincinnati and 6-3 Pitt) are to better teams than BYU.

All 5 potential AAC champs have better wins than Boise's best win. A second loss to a ranked opponent shouldn't drop them below Boise.

RE: G5 New Year 6 Bowl Race
I'll double down and say that a 2-loss AAC champ probably will get in the Access Bowl over a 1-loss Boise.

Boise's remaining schedule won't boost their ranking: vs 6-2 Wyoming, 3 cupcakes, Conference championship against SDSU or Fresno. Boise should hope it's SDSU; if Fresno wins their division, Boise probably drops in the polls even if they win out.

Barring a total collapse, the AAC East will be won by Cincinnati. They'd have to lose 2 more games for UCF to win the division. If Cincy loses the season finale to Memphis (giving them 2 losses) and wins the AAC, they'd still end the season with a win over a ranked opponent in the CCG. Cincinnati would probably be ranked slightly behind Boise, all else equal. But the committee has said they look at performance versus common opponents, and Cincinnati has a huge edge there: Cincinnati destroyed Marshall on the road 52-14, while Boise squeeked by at home vs Marshall.

If Cincinnati collapses, 2-loss UCF is in the championship game. They'd end the season with a 7-game win streak and a win over a top-20 AAC West champion, which would probably boost them past Boise.

Because the AAC West is a 3-way tie for 1st, the only likely 2-loss AAC West champion is Navy. Their 2 losses would both be to ranked teams (Memphis and Notre Dame). A 2-loss Navy champ would still end the season with 2 wins vs ranked teams (SMU and the AAC East winner). That would almost certainly boost them past Boise.

If another 2-loss AAC West champion emerges, it would probably mean that Cincinnati beat Memphis to end the regular season. So if the AAC championship game is won by a 2-loss AAC West Champion, it would be over a likely #13 Cincinnati in the AAC title game. That would probably boost them past Boise.

But if a 2-loss AAC West champ faces a 2-loss UCF or Cincy, then things get dicier. A collapse of all 4 of the AAC's ranked teams would require 3-4 upsets by the bottom half of the AAC. This is the scenario Boise should be hoping for.


Remaining Schedules:
Cincinnati: @Memphis, vs 6-3 Temple, 2 cupcakes - a loss to Memphis would still give them 2 wins over ranked teams (UCF and CCG)
SMU: @Navy, vs 6-3 Tulane, 1 cupcake - a loss to Navy likely takes them out of the CCG
Navy: @Notre Dame, vs SMU, rivalry vs Army, 1 cupcake - a loss to SMU likely takes them out of the CCG
Memphis: vs Cincinnati, 2 cupcakes - a loss to Cincinnati likely takes them out of the CCG
UCF: @ 6-3 Tulane, rivalry vs USF, 1 cupcake - needs Cincy to lose 2 games to get to CCG, unlikely to happen

Boise: vs 6-2 Wyoming, 3 cupcakes
SDSU: 4 cupcakes

Cincy and Memphis both control their own fates but have to face each Other in the regular season finale. Cincy has a final 2 game stretch that could be a doozy and can’t sleep on Temple.

A Memphis loss to Cincy in the regular is a very good thing for the SMU-Navy winner. If that winner is Navy and they also have a win over ND if they win the CCG they are most definitely in.

Cincinnati could lose to Temple which puta Temple into the AAC championship against the west champ. Temple wins all out? It will go to the Boise/San Diego State champ. If both lose out and App. State wins out? App. State would go to the NY 6 bowl. You have to win your conference championship game to go. It is setting up that Temple could be the AAC champ.

Wrong. Temple needs 2 Cincy losses (including winning @Cincy). Nothing is setting up for anything.

LA-Tech was eliminated a while back. Since App State lost to Georgia Southern, the NY6 race has been between Boise and the AAC champ.

While the odds aren’t great, App isn’t quite dead yet. The South Carolina win was timely and impactful, at least in the eyes of the committee.

I never tell a fan not to Keep Hope Alive, I do it too. But from a disspationate POV, or really, from the POV of someone who would like to see App State get the bid just because I don't want an AAC team to ... App State has no chance.

I have no dislike of "the AAC" at all. It's the member schools that are the problem. As I've explained, I view the other AAC schools as major competitors of USF for the main prize we're maneuvering for, promotion to a P5 conference. So while yes, getting an extra $400,000 would be nice, to me it is considerably less than the propaganda value that would accrue to the AAC team that gets the NY6 bid, and doubly so if they win the game. So yes, if an AAC team gets the bid, I will be rooting for them to lose.

Of course, I would love it if it is USF that gets the NY6 bid. But given that we are out of contention, I want a school like App State, which rightly or wrongly I do not view as a competitor to USF for P5 ambitions, to get the bid than to see a Cincinnati, a UCF, a Memphis, or an SMU get it. Those schools should take it as a sign of respect on my part that i don't want them to get the bid, because that means I view them as a valid threat to USF in the P5 race.

And FWIW, this doesn't apply to Navy. I wouldn't mind if Navy got it either, as Navy is a military academy and thus not really competing in the same realm. Navy has other goals and missions.

But what is wacky and irrational is that that, e.g., a Houston fan would actually root for an SMU or a Memphis to get the NY6 bid and win the game, when those schools will be who Houston is compared to if a P5 spot opens up. Nutso to do that for $400,000.

App has a chance.

They must win out - Very Possible

They need Boise to lose a game - Very Possible

They need Cincy and Memphis (assuming those are the AAC division champs) to split their regular season and Championship game - Very Possible.

They are #25 now and shouldnt drop if they keep winning

Navy is also getting blown out by Notre Dame so they will drop below App too.
