Technically, we have not been eliminated from the Playoffs. Sure it becomes a lot tougher now. But the good news is this.
Our next 4 we should be favored. It seems most likely that we get another shot at Boise in the MW championship game.
The Playoff take the highest rated CONFERENCE CHAMPION. So winning out including that game could get us back in the conversation.
Navy got crushed by UND, Army has to play them too. Army and Navy play each other perhaps twice. So they may be looking at a 2 loss champion, without as good of a SOS.
A late season win at a 1 loss, likely top 12 Boise Team, may just be the most impressive win in the G5 at that point. The Syracuse loss right now has not aged well, hopefully they finish strong, but that is to be seen.
We need CSU to lose. They still have to go to Fresno on the road, which is likely the better team. But they do have a seat in the MWCG if they win out.
