G5=p5, look at the g5 players drafted every year.

Nothing will change. We could win a natty and we’d still be a fluke G5 who won a natty.
p5 vs G5 is more about butts in the stands and money spent and donated (including political influence) than it is about performance on the field. I agree the best of the p5 would win most of the time but most of the p5 would struggle against the best of the g5 so the difference is all about the $.

Temple, UConn, and USF are on neither list. They would have to be on one or the other.
Red, Temple, UConn and USF are not P5 schools so that eliminates them from the first list. They also have never finished in the top 10 so that eliminates them from the second list.
South Florida has never finished in the AP Top 10…but in 2007, the year of College Football chaos…they did get as high as #2 in the nation because every top ten team below #1 lost every week. And for one week only, they were #2 until they lost as the others before…man, that was a crazy year that I haven’t seen repeated since…USF can “claim” that they know what #2 feel like…at least…

Oct. 18: No. 2 USF loses to Rutgers. We will never stop reminding you USF reached No. 2 in the country.
I found the article above…but I remember this like yesterday because it was an unusual year in College Football…

I rather like to think I know what it feels like to finish #4 like we did in '76, than to be #2 for a week in October and not finish in the top 10.
I can remember when UH was ranked #1 in the country.
and on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

To go with the list of P5s never to have finished in the AP Top 10, there are two schools on that list to have never made it to the Basketball Final Four (Tech and Vandy).
Being in Lubbock is a heck of a thing to overcome.
