If Rice loses Thursday, we may know before the end of the UTSA game that we've punched our ticket to the Championship game.

Long shot, given the teams Rice/Tulane are playing. But it is possible.

I think Tulane and rice each have to lose for us to clinch. If we win on Saturday but lose to Tulsa and Tulane wins out, doesn't Tulane win the west?

If Rice wins on Thursday, which they should playing UAB, we'll be a half game out of first.

This post is incorrect.

We must win out to "clinch" CUSA West.

We are tied with Rice, but hold the tie breaker.

If we get in a 2 loss situation, Tulane holds the tie breaker with us.

But let's not get ahead of our selves. Lets meet UTSA and finish the season undefeated at home. Then Tulsa, the championship game, and then the bowl.

No, we can clinch Saturday. We would need us to win and Rice and Tulane to lose. That would put Tulane at three losses with one game to go. They wouldn't be able to catch us so the tie-breaker would be irrelevant. Then Rice with 2 losses and us at 1 going into the last week would be insurmountable for them as well, since we would hold the tie-breaker and all they would be able to do would be tie-us.

Highly unlikely, but mathematically we can clinch Saturday.

Just win the F'n last two scheduled games. That's all that matters.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      In terms of the Pac12/MWC tweet above and what they both started with (not the legacy Pac, the WSU and OSU Pac), the Pac12 came out way ahead of the MWC. They need 1 more right? Where do they get it or do they try to add more than one. In terms of the AAC, SMU out and Army In. Love having another service academy as a conference mate and it was probably the best move the conference could make...national recognition and following. The whole Army/Navy game piece is kind of a monkey wrench. Overall, with SMU's performance and getting into the CFP this year makes the loss of SMU a bit more that the addition of Army (at least this year). Let's see how the next couple years pan out.

      GFed ranks the AAC Stadiums...

      Like a lot of complaints, it’s probably a vocal few.
