Unfortunately, when a G5 football program plays well—finishes with only a few losses, posts great stats, and has players gaining national recognition—the playoff committee and fans of Power 5 teams respond with an all too familiar phrase:
“But [insert any good G5 team] doesn’t play anyone!”
So, if a G5 team wants to turn heads in rankings and get recognition, a team needs to beat P5 teams. This coming football season, however, will showcase a bunch of good Mountain West vs. P5 (I am going to toss in BYU, Armed Forces, and a few other good G5 schools) matchups, and this post will rank each team on the caliber of their out-of-conference schedule, along with their ability to win these games.
