The Group of 5 wants respect from the CFB Playoff Committee and the rest of the mainstream college football media. With how UCF was treated after their perfect season, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse for G5 hopefuls.
Since 2000, there have been six undefeated G5 times. In the table below, you can see how each team compares to each other. Every team, besides UCF this season, was at least in the AP top-8 going into their bowl game. Even Utah in 2004, who hadn’t beaten a single team with 10 wins, was ranked higher than UCF this year.
