I am looking for any possibility of sneaking up in the ratings and becoming the G5 rep in the playoffs! We can always dream
Would need JMU and Tulane to both lose I think. Both ranked top 25ish.
JMU undefeated and Tulane 1 loss.

JMU isn't eligible... NCAA likely doesn't grant waiver despite the public pressure.
The best team JMU will have played this year is probably Utah State. They have a schedule that makes UNLV's look hard. Tulane is a different story, we need them to fall flat on their face! Unfortunately Tulane beat Tulsa 24-22
I just read that there is a two year waiting period. Maybe the stars will continue to line up for UNLV! I also read that ESPN game day is going to the JMU v Appalachian State game. We need them to come to UNLV!
Masked Rebel pointed out they aren't eligible I forgot about that. That still leaves Tulane.
Liberty, Toledo and Memphis currently rated higher than UNLV on NCAA rankings site.
There's still some teams to jump.
All we can do is play the games in front of us. Win out and we'll be close.
Correct...
I have to believe an 11-2 MWC Champion with a loss to Michigan gets bumped higher than any of those other teams
I think the fair way to handle it is to allow the team with the best record who lost to Michigan to replace Michigan in the playoff😁😁😁!
Lol, I love UNLV.. but we would get smashed in the playoff... Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, whomever makes it kill us by 40+
I am not crazy enough (yet) to think we could win, but if we could even keep the first game relatively close, how much do you think that would do on a national level for recruiting? Just make it to the MWC championship and a bowl game alone should be huge for recruiting, but that would take it to the next level!
Oh I know lol... just the fact that we are turning the corner though is an amazing feeling. Who knows where the ceiling is. This year.. conference championship is in sights.
Would be willing to bet no one would have picked our football team to win a conference championship before the basketball team would in the last ~20 years. Its crazy.
In Coach Barry Odom we trust!

We’d get fn smoked. I’m an advocate of taking on the best and giving it your best shot.
But I’d rather win out, get a good bowl against somebody we are a small dog to … win that … feel good off season … any players that might have been on the fence with buy in will be all in because you cannot question the results … will give for a better spring, even more focus, more purpose … start off next season as a lower level top 25 picked to finish 1st/2nd in conference … target on our back and fight all comers.
Yeah I think playoff is being interpreted literally not as NY6 bowl since the final playoff ranking is used to determine for G5s I believe
Takes the dude one freaking year to instill some confidence, discipline, accountability, and focus.
I like his style because he put up two middle fingers to the free pass/slow growth bullshit. He took the bull by the horns from the start.
SJSU no but Boise might be hard to say with the tiebreakers but they didn’t play us or AF they would have tiebreaker over FSU. I kind of wish AF had won knowing that FSU lost.
It all depends what computer rankings they use. I’ve seen Boise (5 losses) already ahead of us (2 losses) in one ranking. SJSU has a good strength of schedule as well so I believe they’re still in the mix as well.
I can’t find anything on what computer rankings the MWC will use for 3 way ties. It just says “selected computer rankings”.

Yeah, it's like banging your head against a brick wall. When you stop you say "it feels sooo good".
The composite rankings show them 20 something spots behind UNLV. Almost all of the ranking have them well behind UNLV, but there are some exceptions were some of the polls are obviously anti UNLV.
