If this is any indication, new AAC could be in trouble with playoff committee. Outside of the P5s and soon-to-be P5s, only ranked teams in G5 are both from the MWC (Fresno State and San Diego State). I think most suspected the Mountain West would be elevated to best G5 conference, but this may confirm it.

What about UTSA and SMU? Aren’t they both ranked?

Not in the CFP, no sir.   And that is most-definitely on purpose.

AP & Coaches polls have both ranked.
