Boise gets smoked by Hawaii. Cincinnati beats Memphis in a scintillating 3-0 game filled with nothing of interest. And Appalachian State goes ballistic in their game and end up as the highest ranked G5 getting the auto bid to the NY6.

In a gesture of goodwill by the college football powers that be, they invite a second P12 team to the NY6 and Utah gets to play Appalachian State in whatever bowl they are relegated to.

As some icing on the cake, the Utes lose the game in spectacular fashion and drop entirely out of the final rankings.
