The Group of Five race for a New Year’s Six bowl race is fairly clear if we are predicting a team at this moment. An undefeated Boise State still is in the drivers seat and ahead of Western Michigan who also have no losses, and the advanced stats show that the Broncos in the Mountain West have the edge.
Looking at those numbers from Football Study Hall, Houston has the highest at No. 20 with Boise State at 26. However, the Cougars have one league loss and need help from Navy to lose twice, or hope for a slew of one-loss teams and the Cougars win the tie-breaker.
