In order of importance:

1) Beat UTEP

2) Beat UTSA

3) Beat Tulsa

4) Tulane loses at least 1 more

5) ECU gets upset at least once before Marshall; if only once, then Marshall beats ECU

5a) Marshall gets upset at least once before ECU; if only once, then either ECU must be upset at least once and lose to Marshall, or upset twice and beat Marshall

This would give us home field advantage for a title game! No counting chickens before they're hatched, but this is the road to pack Apogee and have home-field advantage. I suspect that if we are tied with the East leader that they will still have a higher BCS ranking for us (that's the tiebreaker for the title game home field, right?).

Does conference USA have a game where East vs West play for CUSA championship? I believe some other conferences have games like this. Kinda would like to have a game like this, would bring in extra monies for the conference as well.

What? Of course it does.

The syllabus clearly stated that would be on the test!

BCS, before this week:

47 Rice

51 ECU

60 UNT

70 MUTS

80 Marshall

Where do you find the overall BCS rankings? Everywhere I looked, even when I clicked on "complete standings" or "complete rankings" all I got was expanded information on the Top 25.

We win out, Tulane loses once more and we are in the C-USA Championship game.

Need ECU to lose once to host Championship at Apogee.

Thanks UNT Mean Green for the info

I found rankings for all teams on CBS Sportsline.

Thanks...can't wait to see what they look like tomorrow. If we win out then one more loss by ECU might be enough to cement it but if not my original scenario is still what we would need. We all hoped this team would be good enough to go after the division, but I don't think any expected the East to be about even with the West with the possibility of us hosting the title game.

Although unlikely, it is possible both ECU and NT win out and we still pass them...a lot can happen in these computer rankings.

That's what we would hope/expect after the Rice win. But if we win 3 by only 1 point each, and they win 3 by 30 each, who knows...all I care about for now is that we keep winning. The rest is what needs to fall into place for the added benefit of hosting, but winwinwinwinwinwinwin is the most important thing right now.

I think if ECU gets upset at least once, we'd then want ECU to beat Marshall.

Then if we win out and Tulane loses to Rice, we're division champs we're guaranteed to host.

Woot, you're right because ECU already has one loss to Tulane. As long as Tulane loses again and both ECU and Marshall have at least 2 losses in the conference, winning out will give us the hosting opportunity. I think I may have been thinking of their overall record and not conference record when I wrote that.

Marshall should win out, host ECU last game of season. ECU should also win remaining conference games with game against The Herd for division title.

Guys, If ECU loses either to Marshal or NCST we should host the title game. We are too close to not pass them up if they lose a game from here on out.

Worry about us winning out and Tulan losing at this point. The rest will fall in line..

Bigger fear is that just one vote for either poll for ECU will slant the entire process.. Be afraid that they will try and call in some favors.

whoa. Conference championship a possibility AT apogee!?!?

Very possible, giving us seven home games. Ticket office should be preparing for that possibility.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.

      Just how out of whack is college football?

      Speaking of out of whack, I saw this story today. Might be old news or old data, but it was new to me. https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2024/12/11/where-do-big-12-college-football-teams-rank-in-nil-spending/ It included links to estimates for most of the NIL collectives. https://nil-ncaa.com/collectives/
