UCF went undefeated for the 2nd straight season. They have won 25 straight games. The Knights are nowhere in the conversation for the CFP. The charade is over. No G5 team will ever make the playoff no matter what they accomplish.
I have zero connection to the NMSU program but I still have goosebumps watching the NMSU fans celebrate with the team on the field. What a monumental victory for a fanbase that needed it so sorely.
With Akron's win over Northwestern, every G5 conference has now earned a win over the P5 today.
AAC: Temple over Maryland & USF over Illinois
C-USA: North Texas over Arkansas
MWC: Nevada over Oregon State
MAC: Akron over Northwestern
Sun Belt: Troy over Nebraska
From smack talk etched in the snow to ambulance grand theft auto, Georgia Southern and App State enjoy what might be the most heated rivalry in the G5. We take a look back at some of the most memorable games and moments in the rivalry’s history
Western Kentucky’s Bailey Zappe is 12 passing touchdowns shy of Joe Burrow’s NCAA single season record.
He could potentially break it if the Tops get to play three more games.
Is that enough to make him a serious Heisman candidate?
UTSA was the only school to send cheerleaders and a mascot to the draft, and are the first Texas school to have a player chosen in a draft hosted in Texas.
Good day

One of the greatest running backs in NMSU history is set to take his chances on playing in the NFL. I, for one, don’t think he’ll have any trouble finding a team!
FINAL: App State defeats Arkansas State 35-9. stAte is now 3-3 and 0-2 in conference play. App is now 4-1, 2-0. App's only loss is was in OT to No. 8 Penn State

The bar just keeps moving. Back-to-back undefeated seasons aren't good enough, eye test isn't good enough, nothing is good enough for G5 teams to get in. But that Houston team y'all, THAT team would've made it!
In the last two years, Troy is 20-5, beat LSU in Death Valley, has been ranked in the top 25, and now has a conference crown.
@CoachBrownTROY
is good at his job.
It's officially that time of the year where you wonder how lethal Otis Anderson would be if he saw a consistent 20-25 touches a game.
Arguably the most versatile player in the AAC.
App State just hit a 54-yard field goal in the final seconds to beat ULM 41-40.
It’s App’s first road win since they beat

Texas A&M in College Station last September.
For the first time since 1998, the Tulane Green Wave are ranked to end the season!

Tired: THIS GAME PROVES HOW BAD UCF IS
Wired: The AAC has an exciting brand of football and tonight was yet another showcase of how good Temple football is and how great UCF has become.
Byrum Brown exploded for 435 passing yards, 82 rushing yards, and 3 total touchdowns.
Naiem Simmons set a South Florida record with 272 receiving yards.
And USF is 1-0 in AAC play for the first time since 2018, snapping its 18-game skid vs. FBS teams:

If they keep talking, it's only a matter of time before the leaders in the G5 have the ammunition needed to bring a lawsuit to the table. And they really already have enough ammunition as it is.
Texas State OT Nash Jones waited an entire year for head coach GJ Kinne to call a play designed for him to score a touchdown.
It finally came to fruition in the Bobcats’ historic First Responder Bowl win. Story of the big man TD and the aftermath:
The CAA issued a controversial decree to
@JMUSports
on Wednesday: you can leave but it will come at a cost. Such a ruling spits in the face of everything the conference says it stands for.
Tulane. UTSA.
Both teams are reigning conference champs. Both are 7-0 in AAC play. Both haven’t lost since September. One will clinch the AAC Championship Game in a high-stakes Black Friday clash.

DOWN GOES APP!
Georgia Southern picks up its first win in Boone since 2007, and most likely knocks the Mountaineers out of the top 25 for the second consecutive year.
Incarnate Word put together the best season in school history last fall but said goodbye to a lot of talent this offseason.

Someone should go down on the field and tell the players and fans with tears rolling down their cheeks that there are too many bowl games and that this is meaningless
Incredible effort from Hawaii nose tackle Manly Williams to track down Khalil Tate 40 yards down the field for the game-saving tackle. This is why coaches rave about "motor" so often
