    Re: So.... Access Bowl Possibilities!

    You wanna know the definition of weird?

    LA Tech and Marshall are both going into their 11th game of the 2014 season, and they've only played ONE (1) common opponent (USM), despite both having won 6 games in CUSA. And that one "comparison" is practically worthless, because USM folded its tent and quit after losing its fast start advantage against Marshall. When USM played Tech, they were motivated, because they were coming off a nice CUSA road win, and it was USM's Homecoming game. They really thought they had a chance for a turnaround season.

    First, doesn't the playoff committee select this team into access bowl. Secondly they make the top 25 ranking.

    I have kept seeing that the highest ranked G5 champ would be in. In my opinion the key word is ranked. Not even Marshall is ranked in the top 25 of the college football playoff poll which is made up of the committee. so let's just say they don't put anyone in top 25 at end of year, does that mean they have to put someone in access bowl?

    It's not like they release teams with their points outside of top 25 like coaches and AP. Could you see them putting a G5 champ outside of a possible but definitely not wanted undefeated Marshall team in my view. I just want tech to win out and that is all we can control
    The highest ranked G5 champion gets an access spot. Even if every P5 team is "ranked" ahead of every G5 team, the top G5 champion still gets in.

    I think he was asking which ranking is used since none of the G5 champions will be ranked by the committee. Is it the BCS computer rankings? Or does the committee just pick the team they believe is the best of the G5?

    The Committee picks the team. If no G5 team is ranked in their Top 25, they simply announce which G5 conference champion is highest ranked outside of their Top 25.

    I am just wondering, but have you seen something that confirms this? I find it weird that even an undefeated marshall who yes has a poor schedule is not ranked in the committee's rankings.

    I see no way that they can use the BCS computers because seems like they want to get away from that model. I'm just uncertain they would pick any team that is not ranked in their poll except a boise who would offer up a good attendance.

    call Bruce and let him figure it out. Wish some of you guys could have been with me monday night at Rottolos for BB game, sat with 3 time N la Tech alumni president and he personally negotiated with Brude on I-bowl fiasco. Every phone call about the invite went thru him--- this was guy who created group to raise money to send Lady Techsters to Hawaii ( think it was tournament) and one of about 10 people at Rotollos for BB game -- contributes to LTAC -- bottom line, when we get invite use the old Nike commercial--JUST DO IT--

    Reality, do you have the current rankings of all these teams? How do Memphis, Boise, Nevada, Toledo, and ULL stack up in the rankings compared to us?

    They don't rank the, as I call them, non-dinner table schools if they aren't in the top 25.

    Colorado St. Or Boise is going to get the magical ticket given out by the communist committee. The committee discount G5 so bad we are just above beating a high school team. I no longer care or will watch P5 games im so pissed. The only people worse than the P5 committee are the delusional AAC, they don't believe that we are their peers and we might as well call them P6 since they only have 4 of the worst teams in the country. All of the top half damn well better being bowl eligible considering they get 4 free wins in conference.

    There are some complete rankings of all FBS teams somewhere. I have seen it before. I was searching, but can't find it.

    There's the RPI, but the committee doesn't rank the other schools, or at least they don't announce them. They don't even announce who they think is the top non-dinner table school.
