NCAA GDT: Week 14: She’s Lost Control Again

[GKJ]

A win over Boise, who would be close to or in the top 10 by the time of the game, holds more weight than you think. It's also a far more impressive win, especially on thoad and for a conference title, than beating unranked Memphis and Army, who despite their 9 and 10 wins weren't even ranked. The committee realizes the AAC is weak this season, and in this scenario, UNLV would've had a better win against a ranked team, as well as 2 wins against power 4 conference teams (albeit Houston and Kansas, plus Oregon St. in a down year), while Tulane lost to both Oklahoma and K-State. UNLV would also have had the better loss. The fact that it's 17 vs 22 isn't as wide of a separation when debating teams, and so, while Tulane may have held on to the spot, there would have been a very realistic chance that UNLV ended as the 12 seed if both them and Tulane ended 11-2 and conference champs.

If they were that weak, Tulane wouldn’t be so far ahead of UNLV. 5 spots is a lot given how intentional they are about the rankings.

If the AAC was worth anything, an x-2 Memphis and x-1 Army would be ranked. The conference has done very badly out of conference against anyone of note this season. 5 spots really isn't the chasm you've made it out to be. As I said, UNLV would've had a very real chance to make it in, even with Tulane winning the American, although not guaranteed.

Wisky doesn’t even look they want to be out there

Arizona State beat a team ahead of them and needed 4 other teams to lose to move up 5. Tulane needed 6 teams to lose to go from 25 to 20 two weeks ago. You need a lot to happen to move up 5 spots, so yes it is something of a chasm. There was not a realistic scenario for UNLV to jump Tulane without Tulane losing.

Colorado scores twice in short order to go up 35-0. I’m guessing they’re gonna run up the stats in front of the home crowd.

Jeanty breaks off a big run to get to the red zone. Field goal goes to 27-10.

Yes there was. Most of those teams between them wouldn't even have been playing next week, and UNLV would have a far more impressive win and better wins and losses overall. There was very much a chance, despite you proclaiming there wasn't like it's fact or something.
