On Sully’s College Football Page (SCFP) we do not rank the G5’s  with the Power 5 (P5). In fact we have advocated for a playoff for the G5’s similar to what is being done with the the P5’s! We think that the Football Bowl Subdivision is headed towards a format already used by the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

However, that is not today’s discussion, today we are looking at SCFP Top 20 G5 programs and who they ‘take on’ in week Zero & week 1. All times are Central and unless otherwise indicated, the game is being played on Saturday, 8/31!
