Memphis State is gonna win in a blow out.

 

[Halph66]

Tulane is 0-94 when trailing by 17 point at the start of the 4th quarter.
Memphis State has the ball with 1:00 left

 

[Halph66]

State did it.

The stars are aligning. I hope this is so much of a cluster f*** for the committee they have no idea who to put in as the 5th conference champ.

That version of chaos can't help Bama.

What does Tulane need to happen to make the playoffs?

Time travel.

Sorry man, tough loss. College football is not for the faint of heart.

Thanks for kindness. I am not upset, so long as I end up like this tomorrow...

Tulane football being relevant during late November for the past few years is lagniappe on top of lagniappe.

Maybe they can hire Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy when he's let go?

Yeah, but think of the savings !

They just won their first home game of the year.

Big happy smiles all around too.

Someone asked about what if Army somehow was top ranked G5 team and what would happen if they lost to Navy? The answer is nothing because the CFP teams are selected before the Navy/Army game it will have no impact..

Last week ND stomped Army and Tulane stomped Navy, so the way-too-early Army-Navy winner talk was meaningless hype.

I think Army will host the AAC championship game against Tulane, but there are no playoff implications.

I saw one bowl projection that had Tulane playing W Virginia in the Independence Bowl. Too early to know.

But, setting that aside, I understand. I loved Tulane grad school, my profs, and crazy New Orleans. Tulane football didn't enter into my decision in any way. Lagniappe.

Here is a crazy thought the CFP probably didn’t think about: what happens whenever there are zero Group of 5 champions in the top 25? What if UNLV, Tulane, and Army all lose this week and Colorado State wins the Mountain West over Boise State, and Army wins the AAC but loses the Navy game?

So long as it does not become an excuse to sneak Bama (or Kiffin or Beamer) into the playoffs, I'm fine with it. Preserves our elite status in conference as one of only 3 playoff teams, and might result in a change that might help us one year.

I don't know the rules. Does the 5th highest ranked conference champion have to be in the top 25 to qualify for the guaranteed spot? Or is it merely the fifth highest ranked conference champion regardless? (And they didn't think that one out.)

I think it's safe to assume that guaranteeing spots for the 4th and 5th ranked conference winners was done to form a voting coalition to approve the playoffs.

State takes over with 11:40 left
