cincy hasnt clinched but that article isnt correct,

i think that article is referencing the old tiebreaker rules.. last year the Tiebreaker rules were changed to ensure the aac gets the best possible team in the NY6.

in a 3 way tie: ecu and smu having wins over Cincy would eliminate cincy in the old rules...the new rules states head to head only matters if it was a true round-robin.. smu and ecu never played.. so it automatically goes to cfp rankings, then bcs computer rankings

so their head to head in the 3way doesn't matter

but note if there is a 3 way tie with the new rules smu would advance...(can even just be a 2way with smu)
cfp poll comes out on Tuesday, the CCG needs to be decided before then...there is a rule that if you are ranked the week BEFORE the final week, if you win and the team you are tied with losses, the team that is ranked and wins automatically qualifies

9-2 smu who would have just beaten cincy "should be ranked" ..if the committee just hates smu and doesnt rank a 9-2 smu.. cincy "likely" advances as the bcs computers will decide and will likely have cincy ranked the highest

ecus only path is a 2 way tie not a 3way tie...smu and ecu both beat cincy, but then smu also losses to tulsa... ecu clinches on head to head with cincy

Are CFP rankings seriously an official tiebreaker for our conference?

Of course they are. Getting the access bowl is big money.

Its going to be Cincy vs Houston.

Can you just let us play our games first?

Water contaminated with lead is still better than the stuff that flows in Memphis.

He’s right.

Cincinnati would have already clinched the conference AND the CFP if they hadn’t let USF hang around so long.

And played SMU in August instead of pro crast innatin.

The real question, is there a scenario whereby ECU could possibly make the access bowl?

Yes, fairly simple really. Nevada wins the MWC, Ga St wins the Sun Belt & Marshall wins C-USA. If that happens and ECU finishes 9-4 with a win over a top 5 Cincy & then @ a top 25 UH in the AAC championship game then ECU sneaks into the final CFP rankings as one of the hottest teams in the country at #24. ECU would then square off against #5 Bama in the Sugar Bowl down in NOLA. Win that and the Pirates finish top 15 in all polls.

Playing at Nippert Stadium is always tough. With the cold weather, the Nip will be hard.

Not to be a spoiler, but doesn't ECU win the AAC if they win out, beating UC and then Houston in the championship game? Of course, if that would happen, the AAC not only losses the playoff bid but loses the Access Bowl as well. Did I get that right?

No. Houston will play Cincinnati. All ecu can do is determine where
