    I think we may need to be worried about getting to 7-5.

    If the prediction of 9-3 is correct, does CUSA use overall record or conference record for the CG location?

    Here is tiebreaker from 2015 - doubt anything has changed

    http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/...reakers-15.pdf
    CONFERENCE USA


    FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HOSTING CRITERIA
    The teams with the highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play are regular-season division champions and meet for the Conference Championship at the site of the team with the best regular-season Conference record. The following tie-breaker formula is used for the Conference USA Football Championship game:


    Two-team tie to determine host
    1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.
    2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.
    3. If still tied, team with the highest College Football Playoff (CFP) ranking going into final weekend of regular season and wins.
    4. If still tied, highest average computer ranking.


    Two-team or multiple team tie for divisional champion


    [Principle: If at any point the tie is broken in a multiple team tie, the remaining teams
    will begin the process again at #2.]


    1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.


    2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.


    3. If still tied, highest winning percentage within division.


    4. If still tied, compare records against divisional opponents in descending order of finish.


    5. If still tied, compare records with common cross-divisional opponents.


    6. If still tied, compare records against cross-divisional opponents in descending order of finish.


    7. If still tied, team with highest CFP ranking.


    8. If still tied, the representative will be the team that has not participated in the championship game most recently.

    If we are 9-3 we host if WKU were the opponent. If Marshall, itd depend on rankings if conference records end the same.

    That's why my sunshine pumping post has WKU winning East.

    If Marshall is (10-2, 7-1) they would probably be ranked higher in CFP polls and/or computers than Tech (9-3, 7-1)

    Im think Marshall will drop one or more to WKU, USM, or FAU.

    Re: C-USA Bowl Eligibility Outlook

    I just don't see what the predictor is seeing in Tech.

    If we were averaging 10 more points per game, I'd be a believer. But our offense just has not gotten enough traction to feel confident about any game.

    Football Study Hall has updated to show 4 more losses and a 5-7 finish. I feel like that's closer to where this team will be, IF we can stop the bleeding. If we can't I don't know if we have a sure win left.

    We are 2 routine plays from being 5-1.

    We get home field advantage for all 4 of our remaining “challenging” games.

    We are the only C-USA team that hasn’t played a single conference home game.

    And Sagarin doesn’t think the rest of our conference is as good as some of our fans think. It’s not that Sagarin thinks we are good. It’s that Sagarin thinks C-USA is weak.

    None of our C-USA opponents have had a single legit OOC win. Baylor is winless trash.
