Yeah I think 2-3 spots this week, beat unr they’ll be ranked 19-20th, beat Boise, ranked 14-16th.
BSU will be top 10 if they do not lose and we meet in the MWC championship. We could have a chance at 15-18 range. That game could put the winner into or keep them in the top 10. Great chance whomever wins can get one of the four spots above the Big12. Tulane is the wild card, but I think a BSU v UNLV game will jump UNLV past them if UNLV wins.
I wish few more teams lost just below Unlv. But most who lost wont fall enough for Unlv to jump. Army played #6 team will it drop them much?
Currently UNLV is #24 for the only ranking that counts anymore in regards to playoff chances!
Ya but outside of army no one lost. Will army fall to 24, 25 and behind Unlv or will 2 AAC teams remain ahead of Unlv. Tulane has 2 loses and hasnt really played anyone good but are still ahead of UNLV. Even beating not very good teams need to blow them out like they have
Rooting for Memphis to beat Tulane next week. Lets completely remove them from the board.
Tulane still plays 9-2 Memphis who only lost to UTSA (6-5) and Navy (7-3). Army still plays UTSA who is on a 3-game winning streak.
Army lost, byu lost, Texas A&M lost, Colorado lost.
ARMY will fall to 25 Colorado and Texas AM will most likely fall to 22, 23. Miz, Iowa state, Arizona state, south Carolina, and Clemson will move up. I wouldn't be suprised if Illinois jumps Unlv and Unlv is still sitting in 24th. In the next update. Personally have no faith in the ranking system
After the blowout loss of the only good team Army plays, I think they have dropped totally out of the top 25 rankings for the playoffs. The Kansas win was another feather for UNLV. The UNLV v BSU game could end up being between a top 10 and a 15-20 ranked team which would put the winner in a great position.
The NCAA may not like UNLV but the CFP committee love UNLV. Just beat Reno. We’ll see what happens
Don’t think so. The spot were fighting for is the highest ranked non-P4 conference champion.
Unlikely but the top 12 go and they are 9th right now I can see a scenario where they lose to us close and remain 12th depending on losses behind them.
No way.. they lose to us and they drop guaranteed 8 spots or more... yeah it'd be a ranked team loss, but they won't stay in top 12. The game is rigged against the G5s even with a guaranteed spot
They did. My point was that the ranked G5 non MWC teams are still "in the way" ... with Army probably falling out of the poll, they are basically a non factor. A Tulane loss to Memphis would be great for us. Losing to a team who could get ranked but can't make the title game basically locks up that BSU vs UNLV winner (if that's how it plays out....) is the G5 representative
A G5 loss to anyone is a death knell... BSU benefited by theirs being 3 months ago. Tulane, same deal - 2 months ago.
Fair point, but that's abnormal. The only people who don't respect that performance by BSU against Oregon are SEC shills trying to hate on both programs.
I like the thought, I'm just not convinced that #20ish UNLV beating #11ish BSU would jump #16ish Tulane beating theoretical 11-1 Army. Possible, just wouldn't want to bank on it
They say SOS matters, and most prognosticators value wins against other CFP teams. Army would drop out if Tulane beat them, Boise would not. Same record, with some similar losses. Though we would have the ability to revenge one of those losses.
