so memphis has to beat wichita

then smu loses at usf

then if memphis loses at houston, wichita has to lose to tulsa

memphis gets 4th based on tie breaker

(is that right?)

Yes! Comma usage perfect!

If we keep winning ... WE ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPS !!!

We need Dudes who can stroke a comma

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma?
A cat has claws at the ends of its paws and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause.

Is that an oxymoron?

Oh wait. Nowadays, maybe it isn't.

Who holds the Houston Tulsa Tie breaker.

Would be lovely for Tulsa to be the 1 and us be the 4.

A little levity is usually all I ever have to offer around here.

What is an inuendo?

It looks like the tiebreaker rules for the AAC would be head to head, then record vs. #1, then vs #2, etc...

So, if we win vs. Wichita tonite, we've have split with them. 2nd tiebreaker would be record vs. #1 team. If #1 ends up being Tulsa, then Wichita gets #4 if they beat Tulsa on Saturday (Wich 1-1 vs. Tulsa, we are 0-1 vs Tulsa). If Wichita loses to Tulsa, then we win tiebreaker vs. Wichita, assuming we win @ Houston.

However.... If we lose @ Houston (but beat Wichita), SMU wins @ USF, and Wichita loses to Tulsa (and to us), there is a 3-way tie with 3 teams at 10-8. Looking at wins among the 3 tied teams: We would only have 1 win (vs. Wichita), while both SMU would have 2 (vs us), and Wichita would have 2 (vs us & SMU). So we have to beat both Wichita & Houston, or we are playing on Thursday.

It looks like Tulsa, Houston & Cincinnati are all guaranteed 1st round byes, and seeds #4-#7 will be determined on Saturday.

This is from memory of when we were dealing with tiebreakers last time but I think there was some issue where if the opposing team was only played once it possibly got skipped. My memory may be completely wrong or it got changed.
