Like many things in the history of the NCAA, the survival of the Yankee Conference a a football-only construct was an accident.
The 2023 college football season got started in what used to be a select few games on the week before most teams start over Labor Day weekend. This year, there were seven FBS games with all of those involving at least one Group of Five squad. There were also three FCS games in this week.
As we inch closer to the midway point of the 2021 season, some things are starting to get clearer, while others are very murky. What we know so far is that Cincinnati is very good. The Bearcats followed last week’s huge road win at Notre Dame with an easy AAC opening win Friday over Temple.
UMass finished ranked near the bottom of the country in total defense, with the Minutemen allowing more than 485 yards and 43 points per game in 2018 and would be the last season for Coach Mark Whipple, who was let go after a 4-8 finish.
The biggest game in the Group of Five in Week 6 was the Mountain West Conference showdown with San Diego State visiting Boise State. The Aztecs wen to Boise and pulled out a 19-13 defensive struggle game and now are positioned well to within the conference to win its division and host the MWC championship.
