I just did a scroll for positioning, haven't read the summaries yet. But it's wild that in 2024 we are #10 on a CBS Sports G5 ranking, #2 in MWC. Just 4 years ago we would bottom 3. Even 2 years ago probably bottom 10.![]()

From the bottom 10 overall to top 10 in the G5! The culture is a changing at UNLV for football!I just did a scroll for positioning, haven't read the summaries yet. But it's wild that in 2024 we are #10 on a CBS Sports G5 ranking, #2 in MWC. Just 4 years ago we would bottom 3. Even 2 years ago probably bottom 10.
So I guess WSU and OSU aren't G5? Or neither of us is deemed to be as good as these 12 schools?![]()

Well, officially you aren't G5 until August 2nd I believe.So I guess WSU and OSU aren't G5? Or neither of us is deemed to be as good as these 12 schools?
I am too lazy to go find the fine print - but I believe it is the highest-ranked G5 team, not the highest ranked G5 conference champ that makes the CFP. So wouldn't that be funny if my Cougs went 12-0, beating uw and Texas Tech along with Boise Junior College and Trucking School (sorry donkeys, couldn't' resist) and the rest of our MW foes, thus maybe making us the top-ranked school? Wonder what the Vegas odds would be on that happening? Probably something with a lot of zeroes/1.Well, officially you aren't G5 until August 2nd I believe.
Seeing UNLV at 12 and SDSU at 9 makes me chuckle. Their reasoning is what Lewis did at Kent State (24-31) given the history of the program.CBS is nuts. Look at where they ranked these new MWC coaches
