The Tulane Green Wave got their first look at the standing of the Group of 5 schools in the College Football Playoff rankings.
For the first time, the CFP will feature a 12-team playoff. The four-highest ranked conference champions — most likely the ACC, the Big Ten, the Big 12 and the SEC — will claim the top four seeds and a first-round bye in the playoff.
Then, the highest-ranked conference champion from the Group of 5 conferences will get an at-large berth in the expanded 12-team CFP. The remaining spots will be filled by at-large teams, most likely from the four power conferences. Tulane is competing for that Group of 5 spot and the Green Wave must win the American and be the highest-ranked champion of the five conferences. As of now, two hurdles are ahead — but only one the Green Wave can, potentially, do something about., which was ranked No. 12 . The Broncos’ only loss is to No. 1 Oregon and their quest for the Mountain West title is buoyed by running back Ashton Jeanty, who has emerged as one of the nation’s leading Heisman Trophy candidates..
Army has four games left, but only two in American action. The Black Knights have North Texas, Notre Dame, UTSA and Navy left. But, the Navy game will be after the AAC title game. If Army beats UNT and UTSA, the Black Knights will play in the AAC title game, regardless of what they do against Notre Dame and Navy.
Tulane has three games remaining against Temple, Navy and Memphis. Should the Green Wave win all three, they’ll play in the AAC title game. Win that game, and the Green Wave will need help from a loss by Boise State.
