UNM basketball also beat #22 UCLA. The had a comfortable lead the entire game!
UNM and the SJSU coaches are solid. In a couple years, they're going make noise.
NM was better all game. Quicker and their offensive sets were impressive. UCLA suffering from lack of height, speed at point, and offensive scheme. They are not a top 20 team. They will finish well below 10 wins in this season. Good looking shooting guard who was #35 in top 100. He needs more looks and their Pf is solid. Cronin will have a tough time this year as their 7 footer was exposed as a freshman with no foot speed.
It was a nice win for them, but I would have preferred SDSU winning that one to make our future win against them look stronger. Looking thin on our chances for CFP, but I want every team we beat and lost to… to win! Including future teams…. Go UNR…
I hope SDSu lose every game this year. How's the metrics now, whore?
Yes - thought Reno was playing Iowa state, my bad
I don't think they'd jump that far to be honest. ND itself is only 2 spots ahead of BSU. Two teams likely to fall out of polls (Pitt and ISU). If Army did beat ND (I don't think they will), I'd have Army somewhere around 17-18 if there are no other losses in the group of teams in that window
I don’t think WSU matters it is the highest rated G5 team right?
They do not qualify because they are not in a qualified conference. If UNLV wins out and beats Boise State, the only teams UNLV needs to worry about are Army and possibly Tulane. This is of course based on CSU losing at least one game so that UNLV gets to play BSU in the MWC championship game.
"Five highest ranked conference champions"
Boise could take the 4 spot if they win out. BYU "stealing" a win over Utah puts them ahead of Boise. But can BYU win out?
, and Fresno doesn't look so hot these days, which is our best shot. 
yeah, Fresno needs to step up for that game, big time.Boise could take the 4 spot if they win out. BYU "stealing" a win over Utah puts them ahead of Boise. But can BYU win out?
Either way who cares.
The point being is UNLV winning out puts them in really good shape. After the Boise Loss, UNLV was still ahead of Army with some of the metrics. That was before Kansas and Houston got some big wins too.
Of Course we need CSU to lose
IF Army wins out, then they get in over us if we win out. But I think that may be the ONLY scenario.
WAZZU has to get in as an at large only.
Agree with everything here. UNLV winning out is the first step. If Rebs get help from CSU with an L (could see it vs Fresno or vs WYO. Even though Wyo sucks, it's rivalry), making the title game puts the ball in our court.Boise could take the 4 spot if they win out. BYU "stealing" a win over Utah puts them ahead of Boise.

Not sure I agree with your opinion here, but it would just depend on how they define "highest rated G5 champion". I don't know exactly what the criteria is though, for determining this (by the college football playoff committee). Obviously, first thing is you have to be champion of your conference. So for UNLV to have a chance, we'd basically have to win out, including beating BSU in the MWC championship game. If UNLV doesn't win out, then we're out.
I don't think Army jumps Boise if Boise wins out. Though that would be an interesting national debate.
It really depends, IMO, on how the Army vs ND game goes. When Navy played Notre Dame, they were ranked 24th (1 spot behind Army), after starting 6-0. They lost 51-14 to Notre Dame and went from receiving 166 points in the AP poll to only getting 23 points the next week. I also wouldn't discount the fact that Navy could beat Army in the last game of the season. That's a huge rivalry game, at Navy's home field, so it's possible they could win that game, giving Army a possible 2nd loss.

Just found this link regarding the current top 25 CFP teams. Army is 25, Boise is 12. If somehow UNLV managed to win out and make the MWC title game and beats Boise at home, they'd have to be in the top 25 as well. So in that case, assuming Army loses to Notre Dame, they'll most likely drop out of that top 25 ranking.

If Army goes undefeated, including winning against Notre Dame, then they deserve the spot, but I really don't believe they have a chance in hell to beat Notre Dame.
yeah, if both Boise and Army run the table, I'd say there's a good chance they both get in. Army at #16 would then get a win over ND, and would probably jump into, or close to, the top 10. Then continue to win out, would likely finish the year in top 10. There are 12 spots, and in the case of both teams winning out, Notre Dame drops and I think they both would have a good chance to make it.
Call me skeptical, but I don't think a single non P4 team gets in as an at large.
