These rankings are stupid. We know there will be at least one team for the AAC, CUSA, MAC, MWC, or , Sun Belt. Why don't they go ahead and tell us who they think it is now?
In this stupid poll none of the G5 teams are ranked, so we actually don't really know. Anything that is said now is merely speculation and assumption. All of these G5 teams have pathetic schedules and there are several teams that only have one loss. Memphis, Navy, North Texas, San Diego State, and James Madison all have one loss then there is a second tier with 2 losses that could sneak in as well. The committee did not list them, instead they give us a fake top 12 that doesn't mean anything.
They're literally pointless until Sunday, Dec 7.
The whole thing is just to give espn something to talk about.
You know, I realize it's not aTm's fault how the schedule falls, and they did schedule one with Notre Dame, but it's also proof of what Coach Bryant used to call "schedule luck". ATM managed to catch a year where Auburn AND Florida AND LSU AND Texas are.....well, not what they usually are at least most of the time. (Seriously - tell folks just 4-6 years ago that this is ATM's schedule and everyone would have said, "Man, that's brutal").
That being said, I'm not sold on them, either. Sure, they scored 41 on the Irish, but Purdue scored 30, well above their ppg/average of (excluding that game) 21.1.
Do I think they're good?
Yes.
Do I think they're "there" yet?
Not a chance.
And as programs like Alabama and Ohio State can tell you - getting up there for a week or two is one thing (even Mississippi State pulled that off, spending 4 weeks at #1).
It's quite another ONCE THE PRESSURE IS ON to sustain it.

James Madison and North texas are the only G5 teams left with just one loss. Whoever gets the G5 team will have the easiest game in the playoffs.
Also my younger brother's birthday. Mine is Dec. 17th -- anniversary of the Wright Brothers flying their plane. I'm 9 years older...something about this that is really spooky/eerie...LOL.
Hypothetically, we win out, aTm win out, the looser of the SECCG drop to five or six. Meanwhile, UGA moves up to #4 and is awarded a bye. Quite the nice holiday break for doing nothing.

Not sure about that...I get your logic, but a good close game between 3 and 4 may/should leave the loser in the same slot.
