Revised Predictions

[BIG DAWG]

I originally said 6-6...I'm thinking conservatively 8-4...could run the table and go 9-3 though

[North Texas Shep]

I think I picked 7-5 but now it is looking like 8-4 or 9-3. This season is just what MEAN GREEN Nation needed.

[JesseMartin]

I voted 8-4 being cautious...but if we beat Rice I think we win out. And if Rice then beats the other green guys, I think our SOS will get us the highest BCS ranking to break the tie if we pull off all of the wins. That's a lot of if, though, so for now...beat Rice!

[FirefightnRick]

I EXPECT this team to win out because we have the defense to make it happen.

If BCS ranking is indeed the tiebreaker. There is some confusion surrounding that...

EDIT: This doesn't seem to be official. See post #11 for the official tiebreaker.

Tiebreaker

The following tiebreaker formula is recommended for the Conference USA Football Championship game:

Two-team tie to determine host

1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.

2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.

3. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking.

Two-team or multiple team tie for divisional champion

1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.

2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.

3. If still tied, highest winning percentage within division.

4. If still tied, compare records against divisional opponents in descending order of finish.

5. If still tied, compare records with common cross-divisional opponents.

6. If still tied, compare records against cross-divisional opponents in descending order of finish.

7. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking.

8. If still tied, the representative will be the team that has not participated in the championship game most recently.

9. If at any point the tie is broken in a multiple team tie, the remaining teams will begin the process again at #2.

If we end up in a 3 way tie.... we win.

NO one besides Georgia has beat us by more than a TD or FG

Margin of victory/defeat isn't anywhere in there. Unless it were to get down to BCS ranking. Then it would be a factor.

I couldn't tell if that was from an official site or not. If those are them Tulane wins the tiebreaker cause of their win over ECU.

Now that I look at it, I can see that it's not. These are "recommended," and I have no idea by whom.

Here is the real deal:

C-USA TIEBREAKER

Home field for the C-USA Championship Game will be awarded to the team that posts the highest regular season winning percentage against conference opposition. The first tiebreaker is the winner of a head-to-head match-up. If the two teams did not play during the regular season, the team with the highest BCS ranking would receive the nod.

[MeanGreenTexan]

UNT will beat UTSA & UTEP. Rice at home is going to be close, but I think Apogee gives us a chance to pull that one out. Tulsa will be tough too. On the road, I think UNT hiccups.

Final record: 8-4.

[meangreener]

I believe in this team because that Southern Miss game really was one of those games I think UNT would have lost before. I still think we'll let one slip. Likely to Tulsa.

[UNT Mean Green]

9-3 and hosting C-USA title game versus ECU at Apogee. Tulane runs out of luck and loses a road game and to Rice.

Tulsa may have nothing to play for that last game. They still have ecu and Marshall.
