Agreed. UM/OSU loser and TAMU probably waiting in the wings at 5 and 6, respectively.

On another note, don't look now but here comes BSU after the "best of the rest" bowl spot. Houston has the tougher schedule but it's conceivable that BSU could run the table here.

Boise St. still has BYU and Air Force away so I would be somewhat surprised if they won out.

They definitely need to lose one of those two, maybe both. Houston has 3 tough games left vs UL, @Memphis and probably the championship game. The option possibility we have is for someone like USF to run the table or lose 1, which would give the AAC champ a nice SOS bump and a second team that could jump BSU.

Spot goes to highest rated conference champ, so first Houston needs Navy to lose. Possibly twice depending American tiebreaker.

There's another scenario (for us). If we win out (which would require winning the USF game especially, BC not important for CCG) and USF loses once more, we go to the CCG. I doubt we go to the NY6 game, but if W. Michigan and Boise St. both lose twice, we could get in at 10-3 (a pipe dream I realize).

Well USF is getting punched in the mouth next week. Sorry AAC!

There is some bad late game coaching in college football. NC State just showed that again.

Should have made a 33 yard FG regardless.

The 1st down play wtf were they thinking run the ball up the middle if they stop you kick the field goal, 4 yard difference on the road is huge psychologically for a college kicker.

If you have a bad kicker, which they do, a 33 yarder on the road is a lot harder than a 29 yarder that he would have taken had they not gone for a pass play on 1st down. They were moving the ball on the ground. They had time for 2 more run plays. They'd be looking at around a 25 yard FG if they simply ran the ball. Huge difference.
 
N.C. State lost for the second time.
20 teams remain.
 
So, when does Tennessee adjust to Hurts being able to run?

130 yards and 2 TD's with 1 1/2 quarters to go.

Wake Forest lost for the second time.
19 teams remain.
 
Miami, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech lost for the second time.

Ohio St still has Penn St, while Wash is comfortably ahead.

Looks like no changes this week, other than TAMU losing its first.
