AAC conference race

[Central Floridave]

Ok, that game sucked last night. Congrats to ECU for kicking our butts. I hate losing like everyone but ya gotta give it up to ECU. They played great.

AAC Conference Standings:

Tulane 4-0
Cinci 3-0
UCF 2-1
Houston 2-1
ECU 3-2
Memphis 2-3
Navy 2-3
SMU 1-2
Tulsa 1-2
Temple 0-3
Duh*Bulls 0-3

UCF has the opportunity to still be in the conference race. If we beat both Cinci and Tulane we would be in first place with tie breakers in our advantage.

Must win out. Forget the playoffs, forget rankings, forget all of that, just win.

Tall task, but doable.

Tie breaker being head to head is only used when its 2 teams. If 3 or 4 teams are tied it will go to composite rankings. If We beat Cincy and Tulane, those 2 and Houston win all other games, we could be 4th based on rankings.

 

[Boston.Knight]

Game was a blessing if we come with dub against Cincy. We need a solid week of practice and this will add focus and a sense of urgency.

 

[Central Floridave]

If we beat both cinci & Tulane I don’t think they would be ranked above us. But who knows. Forget rankings. Just win.

 

[PositYourself]

We ain't that good.

 

[Boston.Knight]

We ain't that good.

There is a lot of parity in the conference. It’s still entirely up for grabs. Gus schemes well in the big home games

I was thinking that this morning too. But after last night I have zero confidence we'll beat Tulane on the road.

Cincinnati has won 18 straight conference games with back to back conference titles.

They may not win pretty, but they win. UCF didn't win pretty in half their games in 2013.

 

[Central Floridave]

I watched a lot of the Cinci-SMU game yesterday. Cinci is beatable. SMU just barely lost. An SMU Misssed two point conversion would have tied it at the end. 29-27.

We have USF "on the road" to end the season. When they wax us we won't ever hear the end of it. Why can't UCF win on the road these days???

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

This week in American the road teams went 3-2. Not 0-5 or 1-4. Its sho the teams are. Not where its played.

 

[KnightNite]

There will be more UCF fans there than bulls fans, so this will be more like a neutral site game.

 

[Wings0fred]

I still think we are trending in the right direction but, should we lose to usf, it’s Gus bus hot seat time 😅

Their QB1 is done for the year and the QB2 is now on our roster. They also give up like 45 ppg. If they “wax” us in a glorified home game to knot up the series, lawd have mercy.

That can't happen because Cincy and Tulane will play each other.

The ties can. Just not how i described it i guess.

 

[beelit47]

If we won out then loser of tulane/cincy would have only 1 loss assuming they didnt lose another game. However, houston only has one loss and they miss us and cincy and have already lost to tulane

 

[hemightbejeremy]

If we win out we would play in and host the CCG game. We would have 1 conference loss. The loser of the Cincy/Tulane game would have 2 conference losses. Only potential for a 3 way tie would be if Houston and the winner of Cincy/Tulane wins out and we also win out. In that case it would eliminate houston first because they have 3 losses and would rank below the other 2 teams. Then the other remaining team we would win the head to head tiebreaker over.

Jwb! Although i have no idea what team to expect week in, week out

[beelit47]

All we need is our defense to finally learn to force turnovers, JRP to play rest of season like he did at temple, gus not to make dumb play calls, the oline to start blocking for a change and no more receiver drops. Were effed

If we win out, the loser of Tulane/Cincinnati game will have at least two losses. They would have the loss from that game and also a loss to us.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

We ain't that good.

We're really not. ECU was an embarassing $hit show. We haven't beat anybody yet. Sorry

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

If we win out, the loser of Tulane/Cincinnati game will have at least two losses. They would have the loss from that game and also a loss to us.

If we win out, I'll buy all the beer at the bowl game

3 way tie for 2nd place. Houston, cinci, and UCF at 3-1. Chasing Tulane at 4-0.

 

[muckdawg24]

At least we get to play Tulare so we control our own destiny

 

[Central Floridave]

Yup. Gotta win out.
I like Gus’s post game interview where he said an ECU game will never happen again. (Paraphrasing)

 

[Central Floridave]

And, not worried about Strength of schedule at this point in time but Louisville beat/killed #10 Wake Forest yesterday.

GT got smoked by FSU too.

 

[Central Floridave]

Good win for FSU. they needed it.

Anybody know how they tag the top two teams with tie breakers for the AAC conference champ game?

Could we have a rematch with Cincy?

Houston remaining schedule: @smu, temple, @ecu, tulsa
Tulane remaining schedule: @tulsa, UCF, SMU, @cinci
Cinci remaining schedule: Navy, ECU, @temple, Tulane
UCF remaining schedule: @memphis, @tulane, navy, @duh*bulls

If its 2 teams its head to head. If multiple it goes to rankings.

Many scenarios read here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ame...e team with the highest,be used to break ties.

 

[Knight59]

Season begins Saturday at 3:30 in Memphis. Gus should start every practice this week by asking the team “Did you enjoy the flight home after the East Carolina game? No? Well keep that feeling every day this week. Let it sink in, then dedicate yourselves to not allowing that happen again!“ Drum it into their brains, constantly reminding them but also pointing out their play against Cincinnati has put a championship within reach, as long as everyone keeps focused. Charge On and JWB! Knight Nation believes!

Team selection​

The two teams with the best winning percentage in conference play will play in the Championship Game. If there's a two-team tie for first place, both teams will play in the Championship Game. In the event that two teams are tied for second place, head-to head result would break the tie. If the two teams did not play, the team with higher CFP Rankings will be in the Championship game. If a team or teams lose in the final weekend of the Conference play to create a tie, and there are subsequent CFP rankings, those subsequent rankings break ties.

If regular season ends and the Championship Game is scheduled for the next Saturday, the following tiebreakers are used:

1. if one of the tied teams wins in the final week it will be in the Championship. If that team loses, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.
2. If both teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings, the higher ranked team that wins in the final weekend will be in the Championship.
3. If neither of the tied teams ranked in the latest CFP Rankings win, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.
4. If no teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings rankings, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine participants.

The following procedures are used when there's a multiple team tie.

1. Conference Records of tied teams in a mini round-robin
2. The team with higher CFP Ranking; If a team or teams lose in the final weekend of the Conference season to create a tie, and there are subsequent CFP rankings, those subsequent rankings break ties.

If regular season ends and the Championship Game is scheduled for the next Saturday, the following tiebreakers are used to break multi-team ties:

1. if the highest ranked team in the latest CFP Rankings wins in the final week it will be in the Championship. If that team loses, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to break ties.
2. If there are multiple teams ranked in the latest CFP Rankings, the higher ranked team or teams that wins will be in the Championship.
3. If neither of the tied teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings win, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to break ties.
4. If no teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings ranked, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to break ties.

Site selection​

The team with the highest winning percentage in Conference play will host. If both participants are tied, Head-to-head is the tie breaker. If the two teams did not play, the team with the higher CFP Ranking will host. The latest CFP Rankings will be used to break ties. If a team or teams lose in the final weekend of the Conference season to create a tie, and there are subsequent CFP rankings, those subsequent rankings break ties.[7]

If regular season ends and the Championship Game is scheduled for the next Saturday, the following tiebreakers are used:

1. if one of the tied teams wins in the final week it will host. If that team loses, a composite average of selected computer rankings will be used to determine host.
2. If both teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings multiple, the higher ranked team that wins in the final weekend will host.
3. If neither of the tied teams ranked in the latest CFP Rankings win, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine host.
4. If no teams are ranked in the latest CFP Rankings rankings, a composite average of selected computer rankings are used to determine host.

*Note: If the number one seed is unable to host, the other team will host.

UC's AAC Title Path Following 25-21 Loss to UCF

Hope is not lost following the Bearcats first regular-season conference loss this decade.

www.si.com

 

[Central Floridave]

Main gist of above article:

The Green Wave and UCF have full control of the conference right now.

Tulane will host the AAC title game if they win out, or UCF will host by winning out (play Tulane on Nov. 12). That may seem like a two-team race, but UC has that final contest against Tulane looming.
