4 of the last 5 MWC seasons we finished top 25, haven’t finished top 25 since Indy. Went 10-3 as an Indy and no top 25 ranking yet 10 wins as a MWC team will always be top 25 for us especially if Boise and Utah State in the mix.
I’ve never said going undefeated as an Indy wouldn’t bring relevance. They most likely would have to invite us to a NY6 bowl. But undefeated G5 is an auto NY6 bowl, not a most likely depending on everyone else.
