WINNERS AND LOSERS WEEKS 1-2

TOLEDO PULLS UPSET WIN OVER ARKANSAS IN WEEK 2

G5 Blog original content

With two weeks under the College Football Belt, let's take a quick look at the Winners and Losers thus far among the Gang of 5 Schools

WINNERS

MAC AND AAC :  With conference wins against the SEC, B1G, and the ACC ; the MAC and AAC have had two  very good weeks. 

TEMPLE:  Temple Football is back. Well maybe its back. How ever you want to describe it, OWL Head Coach Matt Rhule has his team playing good ball right now. With wins over Penn State and Cincinnati, Temple looks to be the class of the G5 at the moment.

BYU:   Things initially looked disastrous  for BYU when their all world QB Taysom Hill was injured during the Cougars win over Nebraska. BYU however, went into the wood shed and found back up qb Tanner Magnum. Magnum threw  the game winning td last Saturday to beat Boise State.

Charlotte Football:  Don't look now but the 49ers are off to a 2-0 start in their first FBS season.


LOSERS:

BOISE STATE:  Turns out they are not the class of the G5

MARSHALL:   After a great game against Purdue, the Thundering Herd laid an egg against rival OHIO. Is there a QB controversy brewing in Huntington?

THE SUN BELT:  The Sun Belt has struggled during the first two weeks of the season. When Georgia State has the same won/loss record as ULL something is wrong in Belt land. 

UCF:  UCF has had a disastrous start to the 2015 season. Is O'Leary stretched to thin as both AD and Head Coach?

stay tuned

  1. In regards to your thoughts on the Sun Belt...
    Georgia State has hosted FBS newbs Charlotte and played at Las Cruces against a relatively young New Mexico State Aggies squad. They're 1-1. The Cajuns played AT Kentucky (and nearly won) and then thrashed Northwestern State; my point being is you switch the Panthers and Cajuns schedules around and I guarantee that LaLA would be 2-0 and Georgia State would be winless. If anything this goes to show once again how very lopsided the conference is in terms of talent and strength (the top 4-5 teams are solid the bottom half are very weak).
