The College Football Playoff discussion is in full force, and the biggest question right now is: Who will be the Group of Five representative? Last season, Boise State cruised to a 12–1 regular-season record, with the only blemish being a three-point loss at Autzen against an Oregon team that was the consensus No. 1 for much of the year—leaving little doubt about who would represent the Group of Five.
This season is a completely different story. Tulane is currently the only Group of Five team ranked by the committee, coming in at No. 24. So who are the true contenders to go on the road in Round 1 and try to pull off what would have to be a historic upset?
