I saw where someone posted the McMurphy tweet about San Diego State (and Memphis) being a leader for the G5 NY6 Bowl Spot.  I thought that deserved its own thread.  

Anyway, I see a scenario where San Diego State will be ranked this week, not too far behind us.  It is reasonable that SDSU will run the table.  They play Boise State at home in 4 weeks and play at Air Force this weekend.  The rest of the schedule should be fairly easy SDSU wins.  

SDSU has two P5 conference wins (Stanford and at Arizona State). The Mountain West is arguably more top heavy than the AAC. SDSU's division is garbage (even worse than the AAC East) and the play only Boise among decent teams in the other division.  

So, has USF lost the ability to control it's own destiny?  If SDSU and USF both run the table which G5 Conference Champion will be ranked higher?  Style points will mean everything from here going forward and USF has no margin for error.

Too bad we didn't play the 1st 2 games the way we were supposed to. We could be close to top 15 at this point and might not even be brought up.

I honestly don't think USF had much control over its own destiny to begin with. All they can do is win, but their fate isn't really up to them.

I think Houston will be a ranked team when we play rhem and if the chips fall the right way, there's a chance we could meet a ranked team if we make the conference championship game. Still a lot of football left though

If both teams indeed go undefeated (slim to none chances there though), how we played two cupcakes vs SDSU beating two solid P5 programs wouldn't matter.  Our schedule just sucks, so you can say this about quite a few other G5 teams.  It's all fantasy at this point...as Apis said, lots of football still to be played.  We control our own destiny with the conference championship--THAT should be the goal.

Can't take anything Bozo McMurp says with a spec of credibility.

Winning the conference championship is more important than going to a NY6 bowl, in my opinion.

Last year a good San Diego State team lost to South Alabama, they could always trip up to one of their "fairly easy wins".
