Having an argument with my friends about who the best G5 team of all time is and was hoping the comments could settle it. In my opinion I think it’s 2021 Cincy with 2008 Utah right behind them. Cincy was the only team considered with a bowl loss, but considering it was Bama and in the playoffs, along with them having the highest amount of draft picks by a large margin, still makes me think they were the best overall team
1998 Tulane (12-0) in Conference USA Liberty Bowl win vs BYU, 1 draft pick
2008 Utah (13-0) in MWC Sugar Bowl win vs Alabama, 4 draft picks
2009 Boise St (14-0) in WAC Fiesta Bowl win vs TCU, 1 draft pick
2010 TCU (13-0) in MWC Rose Bowl win vs Wisconsin, 5 draft picks
2017 UCF (13-0) in AAC Peach Bowl win vs Auburn, 4 draft picks
2021 Cincy (13-1) in AAC CFP Semi loss vs Alabama, 9 draft picks
HM: 1999 Marshall, 2004 Utah, 2006 Boise st, 2009 Cincy, 2013 UCF
Edit: *Meant to put during BCS and CFP Era
