Midseason All-Americans for Group of 5? What’s wrong with Mountain West? Mailbag

[Greenrex]

Every Group of 5 conference race is wide-open, and we’re a week away from seeing if any G5 teams are in the first College Football Playoff rankings. I asked for your G5 questions and got a lot of good ones. Let’s get into it.

Chris, last week The Athletic did midseason All-Americans for FBS overall, the transfer portal and freshmen. Can we get a quick G5 All-American team? — Louis S.

I think I made a midseason All-G5 team in our first year of college football coverage in 2017, but we never brought it back. I saw this question got a number of likes and requests, so here you go. Quarterback was the toughest choice. Debate away.

RB: DeWayne McBride (UAB)
RB: Khalan Laborn (Marshall)
WR: Ali Jennings III (Old Dominion)
WR: Rashee Rice (SMU)

I don’t get why he’d put Hebert in there when he missed last week and most of our game with them. He hasn’t register a catch since October 8.

what's wrong with the MWC west division?  They all didn't get to play us.
