Hoping we finish regular season higher than 15. Then if we win our bowl game potentially finishing the entire season in the Top 10 would be great.

No way we don't finish in the Top 10 if we win our bowl game undefeated. At worst that would mean we just beat another Top 10 team in a NYD Bowl Game even if we get no credit for the rest of our schedule. I know the CFP playoff is a long shot, but not being in the Top 10 would be equally as unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we went undefeated with a margin of victory of 30 ppg and everyone in the "P5" had 2 losses then I put our odds at 5%. So no chance. Truth, so now's the time to play those odds and get rich off the Bulls, fellas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have at one team from the east only have one loss (to us) Play an undefeated team in the AACCG And lots of other things happen to the P5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis rolls the rest of the time going 11-1 (only tough OOC is UCLA and they avoid USF, Temple and Cincy) and win the west when Navy beats Houston in the last week. They come to the conference championship game ranked #18-22 This would give us 2 late season wins over ranked teams, but even with that absolutely best case scenario (where even a single extra loss by Houston or Memphis destroys it), still likely wouldn't be enough to jump into the top 4.

A one-loss UCF (to Memphis) wouldn't hurt. They have Georgia Tech and Maryland on their schedule. They could possibly be ranked as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably need at least two wins over ranked teams and be undefeated. Some SEC teams are going to have wins over 4 and 5 ranked opponents. USF having zero is ranked wins will not be in a playoff. We have to first just win win each game. It doesn't matter if we aren't undefeated. Edited August 14, 2017 by Gismo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
