Correct you are Charlie. This is a clear attempt by both ybU-p and CCU to game the system.
For ybU-p, they’ll get to play a “ranked” team…..who really only acquired their ranking the same way ybU-p did: by playing weak SOS, then backing in to the ranking above them when a REAL team played a REAL opponent, and lost. The tdS is looking for “relevance”, but doesn’t want to actually “earn” it by playing a “Washington” or a “Colorado” to prove their worth. So they’re looking for a weak team who’d been granted the illusion of “Top-25” caliber.
For CCU, they have no shot at a NY6 bowl, as that game will be going to Cincy. So by playing ybU-p, they have a chance at “upsetting a Top-15 team”….when in fact, all they’d REALLY done was beat a weak SOS midmajor who hadn’t played anyone either.
My prediction is that ybU-p wins this one. They’d been practicing for CCU since Tuesday, whereas all of CCU’s practices had been pointed toward Liberty. They’ll really only get today and tomorrow to prepare, and I don’t know how much “scheming” the CCU coaches would have prepared by this afternoon.
I also predict the zoobs will try to run up the score, because they think that gives them “style points”, but in reality, all it does is make them look classless, plus it makes their opponent look unworthy of a ranking, whereby they’ll fall all the way out of the polls, and all the tdS will have on their resume is another win over an unranked team.
