Group of 5 Teams in Contention for the 2024-25 FBS Playoffs

[Full Speed Ahead]

Who's going to make it to the playoffs? We have four teams from the AAC that will eventually crown a champion through their playoff, and I'm thinking one team from the MW (maybe Bosie State, but with two losses I think they're on out outside looking in). I'm picking Tulane to win the AAC and get the pick over and undefeated UNLV who hasn't played nearly as difficult of a schedule.

• South Florida (AAC) 7-2 record. Key wins are Florida and Boise State. Lost to Navy and Miami.
• Tulane (AAC) 6-1. Had the toughest non-conference schedule playing the B1G, ACC and SEC. Only loss is to 7th ranked Ole' Miss.
• Memphis (AAC) 7-1 Beat South Florida. Key game is Nov 7th vs Tulane.
• Navy (AAC) 6-1. Key game is vs Notre Dame on November 8, 2025
• UNLV (MW) 7-0. Key win is vs UCLA. Have had a really easy schedule, should go undefeated.

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

As of today, Tulane is the G5 rep and as the 12th seed would be playing 5th seed Texas Tech in the first round of the playoffs. Here's their coach talking about the his team, making sure they don't think they've already earned the spot.
