The Tulane Green Wave, despite being on bye last week, continued moving in the right direction in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Despite not being on the field to win another game, their standing actually improved because of how many teams around them lost., as they are set to face off against the Black Knights in the American Athletic Conference Championship Game on December 6. Had both teams been undefeated, it would have been an incredible chance to boost their resume before the final College Football Playoff rankings were released.
, who were unranked heading into play in Week 12, are now the highest-ranked team in the conference at No. 16 after defeating the previously No. 14 rankedand continued climbing the ranks. Now No. 11 in the AP Poll, and No. 11 in the College Football Playoff rankings, they are the highest-ranked G5 team and in the driver’s seat for the automatic bid and a potential bye in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
A victory of that magnitude, and winning the MWC over Boise State, could lead to them leapfrogging the Green Wave in the rankings down the road.
