Holmoe has done a good job recognizing the reality of what the committee values and trying to schedule for it.

This year we should do whatever it takes to get another high-quality win. If that means being the backup for the PAC12 to take any game at the last minute at their home with their refs on their network, then that's the price to pay.

If it means calling up Marshall and pointing out that they need to beat us to get into the NY6 (gives them an argument even if Cincy wins out, but particularly important if Cincy loses to Tulsa. In that case, both Cincy and CC are likely still ahead of Marshall), then we make Marshall an offer they can't refuse. No half measures, have to push all-in here.
