5 top G5 teams in top 25 a record?

When was the last time 5 non P5 teams were ranked? I only remember ever having two or three. Wonder what the record is for having the most teams ranked.

Here’s 3…or 4 if you consider the old Big East a G5.

Here is one with 5 (or 6 if you consider Army G5):

Here is 6…

TCU was in the MWC and WVU was in the Big East also.

Thanks! I was surprised that there were that many instances where several G5 ended up the season ranked in the Top 25. I just remember 2011 being the peak of C-USA.

I really wasn’t sure how to treat the Big East. It was a BCS auto-bid league until UH and the others were able to join.

And, sorry not sorry that I did not go through each week of each season to do the research.

At one point in either 2015 or 2016, there were 4 ranked teams in the AAC

2020 had six teams in the G5 finish.

Well done, good Coogfan (although I counted more than that especially if you include BYU):
