Tulane has a simple task: beat 1–10 Charlotte for the right to host the American championship game against North Texas. That puts the Green Wave on the doorstep of the playoff no matter what head coach Jon Sumrall decides to do on Sunday. The Ducks have a tricky one in Seattle against Washington but will be virtually assured with the easiest first-round game in Autzen Stadium on top of a potentially excellent path through the bracket if they do so convincingly.
