I'd be down to add a G5 if it is a former WAC or MWC mate or a service academy. I'd love to play Wyoming, Colorado State, Air Force, or even UNLV. I'd just avoid the Tulsa's, Mid Tenn State, USF, etc. I just don't see value there unless we have to do it (which we do). But if we're talking about an ideal schedule, toss out G5's that aren't rivals and replace them with P5's that we can beat up. It's much more fun beating UCLA or Kansas than it is beating Northern Illinois or Southern Miss.
