RE: The non-P5 FB teams are surpassing expectations to a greater and greater extent.

In most normal years, Coastal Carolina and Marshall would have played more P5's and would have had at least one loss by now (Coastal Carolina did play Kansas but come on, they're Kansas!) BYU normally plays Utah as well as one or more Pac-12 teams, what's the chance BYU goes undefeated in a "normal" year? The records are better but that's because they're not playing the P5's. And I'm not saying G5's never beat P5's but the odds are stacked against them, especially since most games are at the P5's. If Coastal Carolina and/or Marshall are undefeated in a year where they beat multiple legit P5's (Kansas doesn't count), I would be impressed. I'm not even sure Cincinnati would be undefeated if they played a "buy in" game, especially if that buy in game was in Columbus.
Interesting how Liberty is one of the lowest ranked G5s in the Top 25, yet they have two ACC wins out of two, which kinda pokes some holes in your theory.
Ah, but let me guess, Syracuse “doesn’t count” because they’re so weak but still a P5 like Kansas
