Tulane has a chance to sneak into the 12-team College Football Playoff. It's a long shot, but it's possible as the No. 17 Green Wave (9-2, 7-0 American Athletic Conference) face Memphis (9-2, 5-2) on Thursday night in New Orleans. Tulane would have to beat the Tigers, top Army in the American title game on Dec. 6, and get some help. "I don't understand all the formulas and scenarios," Green Wave first-year head coach Jon Sumrall said, "but if you tell me this team losing helps Tulane, then I pull for them to lose." But Sumrall, who was 23-4 in two seasons as head coach at Troy before joining Tulane, knows nothing else matters if his team doesn't take care of its own business.
