The Cincinnati Bearcats are the darlings of college football. The G5 is getting more love in the polls than I can recall in recent memory. Out-of-conference games, for the most part, are behind us and we’ve entered the stage of the season where we have a good idea of how teams are operating.

If you’ve followed me over the past few seasons at Underdog Dynasty, I’ve compiled a 113-98-4 record (54%) with our sole focus on Group of Five teams. And while the games did go on (as did Vegas), I felt it was a time to lay off my picks.īut here we are again (albeit a few weeks late) to give you the top plays in G5 college football. Who’s in? Who’s out? It was a never-ending struggle to keep up.

As fall approached, no one knew whether college football would take place, and if it did, how COVID-19 would impact the landscape. I remember exactly where I was when the news broke of the NCAA Tournament being cancelled.

Then came 2020, a year none of us will ever forget. A 3-3 mark in those bowl games resulted in a 41-37-3 finish for the season. The last time I wrote this piece was just before the 2019-2020 bowl season.
