You cant lose to Georgia Southern then question can a sun belt team make it. I fully believe we would be the highest ranked G5 today if we were 11-0. We have 3 of the best wins between ourselves Memphis, Cincinnati and Boise (UNC, Louisiana, USC), but we also have what I would call tied with Boise for the worst loss. But Boise beat FSU and are THE big name in the G5. The system isnt fair for sure, but the sun belt provides a route if you take advantage.

I agree - if we would not have lost to Ga Southern we would be undefeated (of course) and almost certainly the highest rank with a 11-0 record. My guess is ranked 15.

With that loss I don't think we are able to make it to the NY6 - even if we get the win at Troy and win again against UL.

Step 3 however may hurt ... Boise didn’t have a problem with Utah State.

So Here’s what’s left:
1) App gets wins over an improving Troy team and a very talented and hot UL team. No easy task.
2) Winner of Memphis/Cincy must lose the AAC championship.
3) Boise needs to get upset by CSU or MWC game.

Still a strong possibility, but the Boise win about ensure they win out I think. Memphis looks very good as well. Fingers crossed.

Or you need Cincy to beat Memphis, Navy to beat Houston and then Navy win AAC

Then need a Boise loss.

You're obviously going to disagree with this, however, I believe Navy would get the nod if they win the AAC. Think about it. Their two losses would be to Notre Dame and Memphis, two top 20 teams. They would also have a win over a top 15 or so Cincinnati. App has no top 25 wins. None. We probably won't find out, but it would be really interesting if the committee put in Navy or App. Y'all obviously disagree, and that's fine. I just feel the committee would find a way to put Navy in the Cotton Bowl.

If ND makes the Cotton Bowl I don't see the committee putting Navy back up against them
