So, which G5 team gets the playoff spot?

[Grant Green]

A great start to the G5 race for the playoff spot. Frankly, this is just as exciting (more?) to me than the P4 teams.

Liberty and Boise State were the favorites coming into the season, and remain in the race. UNLV is my personal favorite and they are looking really good so far with 2 wins vs P4 teams (albeit Kansas and Houston). However, James Madison is also crushing it, including running up 70 points vs UNC.

And how about Army and Navy? Would be really cool to see one of them beat ND and make it in. They could play twice in a row if they both make the conf champ game. The Army-Navy game is a non-con game.

Maybe Bowling Green, their losses are to 25 Texas A&M 20-26 Kept it tight the entire game and Obviously the lost to us and gave us more than we wanted. It they run the table in the MAC and win the conference, I think they should be considered. I like the JMU call out too.

Bowling Green (1-3) lost to Old Dominion last week so there's that...

I thiink they should get the best 70 players from all the G5 teams and create one super team, and the #5 P5 team can play them. There would be enough for three deep at each position on both offense and defense. Add in four special teams guys.

yeah, not at 1-3. I think there is a good shot that a G5 teams goes undefeated. Even a team with 1 loss is getting in over BG.

Looking at their schedule, I'd have to say there's a very good chance it's JMU, even though they play in 1/4 of a stadium.

ugh, thought they were 2-2.

I really want it to be UNLV.

100%. I wanted PSU to hire their OC (Brennan Marion) but I think we did pretty well.

He was one of the names I was hoping for.

Didn’t he go rogue and offer Sluka their QB, $100K, without anyone else seemingly knowing about it?

Ha! No, that was Derrick Stevens, CEO of Circa Casino in Vegas.

I thought Sluka’s agent said the OC (Marion) offered him $100K to come to UNLV when he was in the portal and the collective stiffed him. That’s why he said he wasn’t playing anymore this year and was before the casino guy offered to pay the $ for him to come back. Marion was the subject of many discussions on SiriusXM saying he should come clean whether he offered the kid the $ or not. Judging by the results against Fresno, looks like UNLV doesn’t miss Sluka and his 43% completion rate.

Ah, gotcha. Not sure who originally offered him the cash, but doesn't seem like there is any concrete evidence. Yeah, they haven't missed him so far.
