Reflecting on this list brings up several interesting questions. My answers in bold face.

1. Which conference will be the first to have all teams selected? MAC
(This might be more of a challenge than you might first think.)

2. Which conference will be the last to have all teams selected? ACC...AAC ?
(Same comment as above applies here also.)

3. Which team will be next to be selected? UCF

4 Which team will be last to be selected? Navy

5. What will be the G5 order of the average ranks after all are selected?
AAC, C-USA, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt

6. Does anybody care? Not really.

Hey AGGIE, MY PICKS

1. Which conference will be the first to have all teams selected? MAC
I agree I think the MAC will have both Miami (Ohio), & Toledo before any other G5 conference is filled in.

2. Which conference will be the last to have all teams selected? ACC ...AAC ?
Yep....I agree AAC, I thing USF and Houston will be the last TWO (2) selected from the five conferences I think NAVY will need to have a good replacement for their QB they lost to have a great year..

3. Which team will be next to be selected? UCF
Maybe Tulsa, they need a QB just like ODU. It might be us.... IMO I think UCF will be really good this year. Last year they only lost to Temple by a point and almost beat Houston They had a fantastic recruiting class for 2017, the #1 class in the AAC. They picked up one of the top freshman running backs in the country with another RB that was a 4 star. The also snagged a local QB from Norview Darriel Mack out of Norfolk. He had an outstanding Sr. year. He may red shirt. The 2017 class had 20 3 stars and a 4 star gave them a monster recruiting class..

4 Which team will be last to be selected? Navy
USF AAC - They are returning almost every one from last years team that went 10 -3. Their only defeat in the AAC was to Temple. They also were very competitive against Florida St..

5. What will be the G5 order of the average ranks after all are selected?
AAC, C-USA, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt
Perfect.... AAC, C-USA, Mountain West, MAC..................SBC.

6. Does anybody care? Not really.
LOL, Care maybe not, but enjoy the off season chatter...YES. Thanks for all the work AGGIE..

Here is a possible FINISH for the remaining G5 conference teams.............maybe?
AAC
USF
Houston
Memphis
UCF - Navy (Pick One)
Tulsa

C-USA
Middle Tennessee
Western Kentucky ......Middle Tennessee may edge Western Kentucky out. WKU lost a lot on the offensive side of the ball along with bringing in a new coach????
LA Tech
Old Dominion

MAC
Toledo
Miami (Ohio)

Mountain West
Boise State
San Diego State
Wyoming

Sun Belt
Appalachian State
