As tempting as it is to try and find a cheap flight to Tampa to escape a little cold, I think I am refocusing my away game to Memphis this year. They are a really good team and I am excited to see how the teams match up on the field.

After a close call we do not move in the polls at #17. Other "G5" bowl contenders.

Memphis at 18

Boise St at 19/20

Smu #21

App St at 23/22

San Diego St. NR/25

Something super important happened in the CFP rankings. We're not the highest G5 team in the rankings anymore. We dropped two spots and Memphis passed us by a spot.

I am kind of surprised this didn't happen sooner. As much as I love our Cats, we haven't passed the "eye test" in a month. Obviously, there is more that goes into the determination, but we have looked awfully shaky for awhile though.

[swilsonsp4]

In the words of Al Davis, "Just win, baby!" If the Cats win all three remaining games (including the AAC championship), the ranking will take care of itself. Lose any of them and it wouldn't matter anyway, because UC would be out of the NY6 picture.

Honestly, the way we have been playing, I would rather UC be in the Liberty Bowl playing somebody like Pitt, versus being in the Cotton Bowl, playing somebody like Baylor.

If were in the Cotton Bowl it means we would have beaten Temple, Memphis and won the championship game so I would say bring on Baylor!

It's really irrelevant at this point as it will fix itself one way or the other.

Here's Mike Aresco yelling at the CFP committee.

Under Luke Fickell this program has always found the way to rise to the occasion. It is AAC champions and Cotton Bowl or the season is a bust. For those who say we lost to Ohio State and didn't rise to the occasion I say OSU is the best team I've seen this year, and you wont win them all.

[Lobot]

Looking at last nights results, I expect us to get jumped in polls and the CFP rankings by Boise St on Tuesday.

Boise St. played on the road at Utah St and clobbered them. They close the season at Colorado St on Friday and then play Hawaii on Dec. 7 in the Mountain West Championship Game which is at Boise St. Boise St previously defeated Hawaii this season 59-37 and that game was also in Boise. If the Broncos lose either of those game, they are effectively out of the Cotton Bowl picture.

If UC wins out and Boise St loses one or more, the only Cotton Bowl contender to worry about would be Appalachian St. who has to Two P5 wins but a loss to Georgia St.

[Lobot]

And I was wrongggg. Boise St did not jump us. We dropped 1 spot in the Coaches poll to #18 and traded places with Memphis. Still holding at #17 in the AP . CFP comes out tonight.
