The winner of the West is lucky

Whatever bowl gives us the most attendance. It's what we need right now. The wins are there we need the other pieces to come into place.

CWT said we just won the East as we never lost to a single team on that side of the conference.

Unfortunately, we have those two pesky loses to the west.  We are the best team in the east, but it won't matter if Temple wins.

this is how every conference does it. Why would AAC West games not count?

I'm talking about in deciding who represents the east shouldn't that be decided by who does the best in the east, all the other conferences do it that way. They count the ones against the other division for the overall record but they take the team with the best divisional record to represent the divisions

It is dumb since the cross division games are against different teams so its a luck of the draw. Have temple play Navy and give us Tulsa! Yet we crush Temple in the head to head. Gay. 

Been a while since i have openly read that level of homophobia anywhere... hopefully you will learn better if/when you make it into USF.

But your point that your record outside of your division is imprecise given playing different opponents is incosnsitent not only with any other college football division but also practically all professional sports. All football teams play a different mix of cross divisional games, but overall record and not division record is still first decider in position. Same in baseball or any other sport.

USF should have taken care of business against Memphis, should have won against Navy. They didn't and now have to hope for help against UCONN. That isn't "gay", it is sports!

I don't think that's true

It isn't ... we are just getting silly.. - here are rules for SEC but it is pretty common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEC_Championship_Game#Selection_criteria

 

Division record is actually the second tie breaker, after head to head!

all losses in the conference count as losses

What's your definition of homophobia?
