From Grant in this morning's HD...
In Conference USA’s format for this season, teams with the same number of losses that are within one win of each other are tied, meaning the host would go to the top-ranked team among the college football computer rankings.
There are five rankings in use this season: Colley Matrix, Anderson & Hester, Wolfe, Sagarin and Billingsley.
Marshall was ahead in all of those rankings by double-digit margins heading into this weekend’s play, making it a virtual lock for the Herd to be host if UAB wins....
...With one loss in league play, Marshall would host the two-loss Roadrunners.
