GRAPEVINE, Texas - Welcome to the College Football Playoff, Tulane.
The No. 20 Green Wave dismantled No. 24 North Texas, providing the selection committee with its first answer of conference championship weekend.
The committee gathered on Friday night at its headquarters in the Gaylord Texan resort to watch Group of 5 conference championship games that will impact their final ranking on Selection Day. It was only the beginning of conference championship weekend, but how these games unfolded with the committee watching will determine their five highest-ranked conference champions -- and how that order will impact the contenders around them.
