I’m bored and ready for the video game so I decided to look into this.

Before I post the list, there are some asterisks. I only counted wins that were over a Power team at the time the game was played - so you won’t see any of the new B12 teams or SMU here unless it was played in 2023. Also, once we go back far enough things get weird with conference alignments. For example, Umass has beaten B.C. a couple times but Boston College was an independent at that time. I’m sure I messed up a couple but I think these are pretty accurate:

Air Force - 2022 vs Baylor

Akron - 2018 vs Northwestern

Appalachian State - 2022 vs Texas A&M

Arkansas State - 2020 vs Kansas State

Army - 2021 vs Missouri

Boise State - 2019 vs Florida State

Bowling Green - 2023 vs Georgia Tech

Buffalo - 2018 vs Rutgers

Central Michigan - 2021 vs Washington State

Charlotte - 2021 vs Duke

Coastal Carolina - 2021 vs Kansas

Western Michigan - 2021 vs Pittsburgh

Wyoming - 2023 vs Texas Tech

Surprised by anything on here?

Personally, I think 54% of teams having a P5 win in the last 4 years is a pretty good stat for the G5
