We need to win back to back to back to back to back to back to back (7 in a row if you're counting) to guarantee that we're the Conference Champs. Then a NY6 Bowl after that. Think big.

#29 in AP and #27 in coaches. A convincing win on Saturday combined with a few of those ahead of us losing should get us there. A matchup of 2 ranked teams for Cinci would be nice. If not, knocking off a ranked Cinci definitely gets us in.
 
We're right outside the top 25 in both polls this week. Beat ECU and we're ranked next Sunday. Tulane is 25 this week in both polls. Was 98 the last time they were ranked?

How tf is jmu getting any votes? They just lost to a 2-3 team

Georgia Southern is 4-3. Also it was a road loss. UCF has a home loss to a 3-3 team, has played a 109th ranked schedule thus far and is getting more votes. It’s the benefit of a 5-1 record.
 
James Madison is getting votes because they were undefeated and ranked 25 last week. They probably lost 110 votes so 6 isn't unreasonable. Besides, G5 is getting a bit more respect these years, a bit. They could have gone undefeated and probably would barely crack 20. Remember a few years ago towards the end of the season and Marshall was undefeated and only 15, of course they lost the rest of the season I think.

BTW how are we ranked behind 3 2 loss teams, especially S. Carolina?

South Carolina deserves to be there. Road win over a top 20 team. They have 2 losses, but one is to the #1 team. The other is a road loss to Arkansas which is probably seen a bit better than a home loss to Louisville.
 
Here's the schedule for the CFP top 25 announcements. All times ET:

  • 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1
  • 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8
  • 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15
  • 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22
  • 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 29
  • 12 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4 (Selection Day)

UCF currently getting votes in AP & coach poll, and 5-1, 2-0 in conference. Remaining Sched:

@ECU
#21 Cinci
@memphis
@ #25 Tulane
Navy
@usf
Conference Champ Game

If UCF wins out we will be 12-1. Will that get us in the playoffs, or just another New Year's Bowl?
I can't see any other G5 team with a 12-1 record leap frog UCF. The one loss probably keeps us out of CFP. Oh well. Damn You Loserville. :p.

A ton of football remaining. Still time to lay an egg and lose, or win out and all the way to the bank!

UCF was really clicking on all cylinders past couple games. It has me positive we can win out.

Go Knights.

12-1 guarantees us to the Cotton bowl.

11-2 gets us to Cotton Bowl but only if we win the AAC.

Nothing could have gotten us into the CFP this year.
