Based on P5 tie-ins to NY6 games CCU would need both Florida and Iowa St to fall below them to get an at-large spot. Unfortunately their conservatism will likely prevent that.

They will now be the first or second team left out.

I still believe their resume is stronger than Cincy’s and would have certainly been if they had played and beaten ULL in the CCG.

I hope I’m wrong, but feels like a what could have been situation.

Watched Coastal play twice..They do not.have the D Line or O Line Cincy has. Coastal has really good skill positons but I think CC would have been overwhelmed by Cincy by mid 3rd quarter. Its the play and size of the lines that sets American apart at the moment imo. Great season for them however and somthing to build on going forward. Sun Belt will rival MwC as second best G5 going forward. T

You didn’t watch the CCU/BYU game I imagine, or you wouldn’t make such an ignorant comment.

Having positive COVID tests and a position group out due to contract testing isn’t “conservatism”.

Especially considering everyone was saying BYU's NFL caliber line was supposed to control the game completely. Cincy looked so much slower than any SBC team in the top 4 of the league

I say their ‘strategy’ (as unethical and chicken chit as it was) is a better way to state it.

You may want to review the Webster’s dictionary.
