College Sports Journal FBS Group of Five Power Poll Top 20 — Week 5

On By Kent Schmidt

Time is short again for me this week but here is my Top 20 poll for this week within the Group of Five. UCF, South Florida, and Cincinnati remain as the only undefeated teams and are within my Top 4.

The biggest game, however, is San Diego State at Boise State this week and should go a long way for the winner to be considered for that New Year’s Six Bowl game.

Here are my takes in the poll this week:
