We'll have to wait one more week. Tech has an off week and then plays ODU.

And in the meantime, Rice plays two games. If we split those two games 1-1 (@Marshall & home v. UTEP the following Friday) then LaTech can clinch against ODU.

Otherwise we settle this on the field in Ruston on the 29th.

Bulldogs' magic number is 2.
Owls' is 3.

Split your last two? I think a win on the road at Marshall will be tough.

That's right. My bad. I thought La Tech/ODU was this week.

That's why I'm pulling for a Rice win over Marshall this week. Playing the CUSA Championship game in Ruston drastically increases LA Tech's chances of knocking off Marshall in the CUSA championship game.
