How does everyone see this shaking out? As the season goes along, I'll be polling with the CFB subreddit in their weekly G5 Top Ten thread.
My Top 10 at this point:
My Top 10 at this point:
- Houston - Undisputed. That is, until Cincinnati.
- San Diego State - A five point win over a Pac 12 team is reasonably impressive.
- Boise State - A 3 point win over a Pac 12 team is also impressive. The pre-season polls had Wazzu ahead of Cal in the preseason polls, but not by much. I figure it's more or less a wash between them, so the nod goes to SDSU.
- Cincinnati - Put up some points against Purdue. Purdue sucks, but Cincinnati is a good team to beat them by more than 2 scores.
- Central Michigan - Say what you want about the play that shouldn't have happened. They went toe-to-toe with the #22 team in the country and came out with a W. They may make the top 10 if they narrowly lost.
- East Carolina - Beat in-state rival and ACC bottom-feeder by 3. Good enough for top 10 status, anyway.
- Southern Mississippi - Beat an SEC team, but it's UK in egg-ball season. Very impressive win though. Our game this year is going to be tough.
- Western Michigan - Squeaked by a B1G team and then trounced a little guy. Good start to the season.
- South Florida - That they're not listed in anyone else's top 10 after soundly beating Northern Illinois is concerning for a G5 Summit. Anyone who follows MACtion knows how difficult NIU can be, and USF made short work of them.
- Appy State - The only team in the top 10 with a loss. They took the "#9 team in the country" to overtime and should have won the game. They then took out their frustration on Old Dominion who should just be better than that... but they aren't.
