Hi I'm Jacob elliott 15 huge college football fan and humongous app state fan so let me get started on what's wrong with this list Well I am a college football stats man and looking at USF schedule they play no and I mean no power 5 schools and no I repeat no tough AAC teams so even if we loose 1 game and it's to Georgia and usf wins all or looses one I definitely think we are the clear favorite to go but we have to either beat or come close to gerorgia but AAC looking at there schedule those teams are not the same strength as us in schedule wise because of our 2 power 5 teams UCF toughest teams are Memphis navy and Georgia tech if they win all those games they have a argument but Memphis has UCLA navy Houston if they win out they have a bigger chance than USF and UCF and then we come to Wyoming which has the biggest argument if they win out with Oregon Iowa Boise state Hawaii Colorado state New Mexico San Jose state and Air Force wow powerful teams right yes so my feeling is if these teams went undefeated it would be in this order
1. Wyoming
2. Appalachian state
3. Memphis
4. UCF
5. USF
And those are the teams they chose no other teams so I could do a better list of the better G5 schools that if they went undetected could be in a new year 6 day bowl game

I'm not really getting all the Wyoming love I've seen over the past season or two (Nationally, Reddit, BBS, etc.) Sure, Bohl has turned them around, but are they really that good?


Also, love your enthusiasm...but you might want to invest in a couple of periods and commas. :lol:

Wyoming has a pretty tough schedule, probably harder than the other 4 of us, but USF is going to get the love because of Charlie Strong... totally unwarranted! I believe if all 5 go undefeated, which obviously can't happen because of teams playing each other, it would look like this, because the AAC is the darling of the G5 and perception is reality:
1. Memphis
2. USF
3. Wyoming
4. UCF
5. AppState
I wish we played Troy and/or ASU this season so that we wouldn't have to hear the "they haven't played anybody" chants, because we are going to be really good!

I don't buy the UCF hype, they get beat by 3 AAC teams this year.

If undefeated:

1. Troy - @ Boise, @ LSU, @ Ark St.
2. Boise - Troy, @ Wash St., UVA, @ BYU, Wyoming
3. Wyoming - @ Iowa, Oregon, @ Boise
4. Memphis - @ UCF, UCLA, @ Houston, Navy
5. App - @ UGA, Wake, GS
6. USF - Cincy, Houston, @ UCF

Best Odds:
1. USF - Cincy, Houston, @ UCF
2. Memphis - @ UCF, UCLA, @ Houston, Navy
3. Boise - Troy, @ Wash St., UVA, @ BYU, Wyoming
4. App - @ UGA, Wake, GS
5. Troy - @ Boise, @ LSU, @ Ark St.
6. Wyoming - @ Iowa, Oregon, @ Boise

The mighty ducks of Oregon at home...nice get for the Cowboys! Looks like they have 7 home games this season.

It would be a good look for the Sun Belt if TxSt could sneak in to Laramie and eek out a win like they did last year in Athens, OH.

We have to win the UGA to be considered for NY6. Don't think for one second that we will get a sniff of the NY6 after losing to UGA. Our only hope is to go 12-0 AND have some other luck with the rest of the G5 field. We could go 12-0 and still not go.

All things being equal (records), USF has the edge. They have a high powered offense, a QB with star power and a big television market.
