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

As it stands, basically the G5 team that goes unbeaten will be in that slot, regardless if they played a crap schedule ala Liberty. Who will then go into a real game and get murdered. This needs to be fixed. Maybe a separate top 10 G5 ranking.
I think they got New Mexico State on their schedule this year? If they do, they won't go undefeated.

Addendum: They are playing UNMSU in NM. Las Cruces? Man, that is a sorry ass schedule....

OT: NFL Season 2024

I haven't watched a game yet but I've seen clips of kickoffs. Dick Butkus would be rolling over in his grave.

I don't want to hear "we are saving the players from themselves." What you're really doing is changing and destroying the game. MMA is wildly popular and the risk of injury is just as high (I'm guessing...). When the game becomes pulling flags versus tackling, and mandating squads that are all inclusive of every representation, then the game will wonder why the WNBA is beating it in ratings every Sunday.
True, but MMA has changed drastically from the early days too. Used to be pretty much anything goes. No weight classes, you could choke out with a gi, etc.

Even now that there are 12 playoff teams there will a lot complaints about a G5 getting a bid. For example last year Liberty was the righest rated G5 school and I think they were 21 and got their asses handed to them in the Fiesta Bowl by Oregon. So in reality the playoffs are top 11 plus one. Im ok with giving a G5 a bid, most years, really every year in CFB there arent 12 teams that have a shot to win the NC anyway so throw a bone to the G5. I think more times than not the 5 seed will boat race the 12 seed G5 school but every now and then a good game may happen.
