If all hell breaks loose in the AAC, MWC and Sun Belt, it's also possible Louisiana Tech sneaks into the tail end of the CFP Top 25 and goes to the Cotton Bowl. The Bulldogs have not lost since the season opener at Texas, and they have averaged 52.0 points over their last four contests. If they can keep it rolling for four more games and end up being the only one-loss Group of Five champion, Skip Holtz and Co. could make history for Conference USA.
In my opinion, we should be listed above every G5 except Cincinnati. The fact that they think we need to "sneak" by the Sunbelt to be in the top 25 is a slap in the face. Only SMU and UCF have scored more points a game (slightly) than Tech, and only Navy and UCF have a larger scoring margin, but none of them are undefeated against the G5 except Cincinnati and Tech. Cincinnati and Tech lost to top 25 teams in the P5, so it's not like either of us were slacking.
If beating a P5 team is all this team ever has to do to get recognition, then we need to schedule Rutgers, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Vandy, and the plethora of terrible P5 teams. There's no reason to play the likes of Texas and LSU when a terrible team like Arkansas or UNC will get the same results.
