Prev. poster pretty much got it.
West:
Rice 6-1
Tulane, UTSA, North Texas are 5-2.
If Tulane beats Rice, we host no matter who wins the West, because the West winner would have two conference losses to our one. My understanding is the team visiting Herd Avenue could be Rice, Tulane, or UTSA, but not North Texas.
If Rice beats Tulane, they win the West. Since we would have the same conference record and we didn't play head to head, the tiebreaker is BCS ranking; better BCS ranking hosts. Word is Rice was #55 and we were #65 going into this week's games. Since we beat ECU handily, we stand to gain spots, but it is unclear whether we could/would overtake Rice. It would be tight.
Go Tulane!
