Greenville C-USA Championship Game Scenario

The experts at Pirate Booty have crunched the numbers, and we've discovered a scenario in which ECU would host the C-USA championship game in Greenville. It's a pretty unlikely scenario.

First here are the rules:

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.

Tulsa has a better BCS record than ECU, and Houston's already beaten us. So, Rice is our best hope.

This whole scenario assumes that ECU wins out (@Southern Miss, @UAB, UTEP). Although we can still win the C-USA East with one more loss, we need to win out so we have a higher BCS ranking than our C-USA West opponent.

Then, Rice needs to beat Houston on its last game of the season. A Rice loss vs. Marshall is preferable to help keep to their BCS ranking lower than ours. ECU should have a higher ranking regardless because of two wins over Top 25 teams.

Meanwhile, Tulsa (@Houston, Tulane, @Marshall) needs to lose 2 of its last 3. So, it's a slim chance.

Houston needs to beat Tulsa at home, but lose to UTEP at home or to Rice on the road.

Recap for this weekend:

ECU wins at Southern Miss
Tulsa loses at Houston
Rice does not play
