FootballScoop, partnering with Athlon Sports, is proud to present the Group of 5 Coaches Poll.
The strength and quality of ball being played by teams from the Group of 5 conferences was seen nationwide this week: Northern Illinois' win at Notre Dame, Boise State playing Oregon straight up, Bowling Green battling Penn State in Happy Valley, South Florida fighting Alabama deep in to the fourth quarter, and the list goes on.
"The level of play across the country is fantastic and I'm proud to help celebrate these teams," FootballScoop President Scott Roussel said.
Each week, every head coach in the American, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt has the opportunity to vote his belief on the best teams among the Group of 5.
“Athlon Sports is excited to team up with FootballScoop on the Group of 5 Coaches Poll this season,” Athlon college football writer Dan Lyons said. “The top G5 programs could be in the running for multiple College Football Playoff spots this year.”
Also receiving votes: Bowling Green, San Jose State, East Carolina, Navy, North Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, UTSA, Western Michigan, Western Kentucky and Arkansas State.
During the season, coaches voting will remain anonymous.
