From Tom Fornelli at CBS Sports. He basically states that he doesn’t believe that anyone other than UH will take the top G5 spot, but it’s the offseason. If anything, it’s a look at our competition:
Of all these teams only Appalachian St has a slightly better OOC schedule than the others, but their Conference schedule is awful. The two American teams have one marquee OOC game and if the conference is comparable (or better) to last year there’s no way any other conference can compete.
I hear you, but I read on their website they would play in the San Diego bowl game if they did not make a bowl 6 game. I guess they interrupt the bowl 6 requirements a little differently. Maybe a BYU insider will share their interruption.
