Remember when any article about UNLV was for the bottom 5.

It really depends. I don’t see a 3 or 4 loss MWC champ making it. Of course it depends on how the other G5 champs fare, but I’d be surprised if there aren’t some that only end up with 0-2 losses.

I could see a 2 loss team get in over a Liberty but when was the last 2 loss season by a MWC team? Not counting Covid 10 years? It won’t be easy.

UNLV lost at #1 Michigan 35-7 and Liberty lost to #6 Oregon on a neutral field 45-6. UNLV didn't even win the MWC tournament. I think 2 or 3 teams in the MWC were better than Liberty last season. I believe whomever wins the MWC championship game is very likely going to make it into the national championship tournament.

I tried with whatever came out in the late 90’s, maybe the Phantom Menace or whatever. It was super lame, could have been because I was 30 as opposed to 15 with Jedi, but even with Jedi, was losing its luster for me. But loved the first two. Then again, I was 9 and 12. Appropriate age for Star Wars. As an adult, I thought they were garbage.

Yupppow.com is the best free movie website of all time.

Currently watching Masters of the Air with my roommate. This series is god damn incredible.

At least that generation was hardcore. Flying in a B-17 while getting shot down by Germans.

At least that generation didn’t care about the participation trophies like some idiot physical therapist wannabe mod on Rebel-Net

Being undefeated does help with the polls, but the CFB ranking system is a bit more than that..

"Unlike other polls, the College Football Playoff rankings come out only until well into the season. And unlike other polls, it's the only one that really matters, as it's for the 12-team playoff. For a decade, the CFP was only a four-team playoff. Starting with the 2024 season, it moved up to 12 teams. The CFP Selection Committee ranks its own top 25, using factors like strength of schedule, results, championships won, common opponents and more."

I'm sure the 2 polls will influence these rankings, but I doubt that Liberty gets back in it this year if there is a 2 loss team from the MW, maybe even a 3 loss team. The fact that they got curbstomped probably hurt them from repeating.

Not to say that a MW team in the same situation wouldn't also be curbstomped, but it seems like top MW teams have faired a little better than that when they have played top schools in the past.

ESPN 2024 player sleeper picks - DE Antonio Doyle Jr.

www.espn.com

These 32 under-the-radar players could be poised to break out in 2024

We ranked the top 100 college football players, but which players aren't getting the headlines but might do big things this season?
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Forgot about this guy. I was really excited when he came over. Didn't realize he was originally recruited by Odom at Missouri. Love seeing our D, especially pass rush, getting stronger. I hope the young man has a break out year!



Antonio Doyle Jr., DE, UNLV Rebels​

i

Class: Senior

Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 255 pounds

2023 stats (Jackson State): 11 games (10 starts), 44 tackles (16 solo), 5.5 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery

ESPN recruiting snapshot: Four stars, No. 108 overall, No. 10 outside linebacker, No. 3 in Missouri (signed with Texas A&M)

Rebels coach Barry Odom reunites with Doyle, who had committed to him at Missouri before Odom was fired. Doyle instead went to Texas A&M, where he played sparingly before transferring to Jackson State. He finished second on the team in sacks last fall and could help a UNLV defense that didn't have anyone record more than three sacks last season.

Coach's take: "Pass rush, he can be a special guy," Odom told ESPN. "He's kind of flying under the radar, people have forgotten. He was a top-100 recruit, had some growing up to do, but he's seen the light and he looks special. He's got a six-month mission to make it work."

It's not what they do now. The G5s are ranked in with the Top25. And the only G5s that climb up the ladder are unbeatens. Once they get beaten, it's bye Felicia to the top 25 almost every time. I mentioned a separate G5 poll which would basically be what you addressed.
