The G5 conference commissioners are meeting this week in Dallas to discuss their future Playoff hopes and, amongst other far-reaching topics, the idea of a G5 Playoff that feels like the NIT.
The move wouldn’t be executed PERFECTLY for the sport but is a move the leagues should pursue.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin predicts West Virginia’s record in 2024 after Neal Brown saved his job last season.
Can the Mountaineers repeat last year’s success with a daunting schedule?
Boise State surprised some by naming Maddux Madsen the starting QB over USC transfer and former 5-star Malachi Nelson.
Spencer talks about what that means for the Broncos, and other starting QBs significance as they were named starters this week. 21:40
