If neither team is ranked does it go to best conference record?

Head to head; it’s all on the conference website.

Best conference record, then head-to-head.

Tiebreakers

UL hosts Southern if they finish with same record
App hosts UL
UL/GSU don’t play this year so that tiebreaker is likely to be very messy. My hunch is GSU hosts because they likely would have to beat App/Southern to get there which would be a huge boost in computer rankings

Right now UL is very far ahead of GSU In computer rankings. I doubt that close wins over App and GS would move the needle enough to get them past the Cajuns.

Do computer rankings matter? I thought only being in top 25 mattered. If neither team is ranked in top 25 I thought it went to conference record then if that is tied head to head

Agreed. It’s a long shot but if either of the ga teams win out they will be playing the championship game in Cajun field.

Computer rankings matter only if conference record is the same and the teams did not play head to head.

If Georgia southern and Louisiana both win out, Louisiana Hosts.
If App wins out and Georgia Southern loses to Georgia State,App hosts.
If Louisiana and Georgia State win out, the computers decide.
The only way Georgia Southern can host is if Louisiana loses another conference game and Southern wins out.

As far as getting into the Championsnip game, Louisiana, Georgia Southern and Georgia State control their own destiny. App needs Southern to lose a game and the Neers must win out.

In the West, Louisiana and ULM control their own destiny. The Warhawks have a tougher row to hoe, as they still have Coastal, Georgia Southern and Georgia State left before playing the Cajuns; while Louisiana has Coastal, USA and Troy left.

Oops. If stAte wins out and ULM wins out, and Louisiana loses to Coastal, USA or Troy, then stAte wins the tiebreaker with ULM.
If stAte and ULM win out and Louisiana loses only to ULM, the computers will decide, likely in favor of Louisiana.

Things will clear up a little more each week.

Thanks. I got it now. A lot of football left and in this league the unexpected often happens

In this league, the unexpected almost always happens.lol

Only matters if the teams have identical league records and didn’t meet in regular season

If the unexpected always happens, should it still be unexpected?

You are correct a 3 team 6-2 tie between UL/ULM/AState would come down to computers provided UL's loss was to ULM. There are 7 tiebreaks before it, but none apply

1. head to head (In this scenario 1-1 for all three)
2. Record against Texas State/South Alabama combined
3. Record Against Texas State individually
4. Record Against South Alabama individually
5. Combined record against Eastern Division considering all opponents.
6. CF Playoff rankings
7. Results of last weekend of season (If Multiple teams are ranked)
8. Combined Computer Rankings
9. Best Nonconference record against FBS teams
10. Karaoke contest
11. Naked Mud Wrestling
12. Coin Flip.

I may have made a couple of those up, but the tiebreakers aren't exactly the clearest things to read.

AState needs to win out and hope UL loses to Coastal and ULM (Troy and South are pretty much freebies) ULM needs to win out and hope AState loses to Coastal or Southern (With South being a freebie)

My Panthers need to forget that field even exists for the next couple of years. It brought us only pain.
