Friday night was a fever dream for North Texas fans. The first sellout delivered in every way imaginable, result aside.
More on an unforgettable night in Denton, TX, where the Mean Green were the main character of the college football world:
UCF went undefeated for the 2nd straight season. They have won 25 straight games. The Knights are nowhere in the conversation for the CFP. The charade is over. No G5 team will ever make the playoff no matter what they accomplish.
I have zero connection to the NMSU program but I still have goosebumps watching the NMSU fans celebrate with the team on the field. What a monumental victory for a fanbase that needed it so sorely.
With Akron's win over Northwestern, every G5 conference has now earned a win over the P5 today.
AAC: Temple over Maryland & USF over Illinois
C-USA: North Texas over Arkansas
MWC: Nevada over Oregon State
MAC: Akron over Northwestern
Sun Belt: Troy over Nebraska
Disappointing Navy at North Texas is a noon ET kickoff. College GameDay could still go but a primetime feature game in Denton would have been perfect.
Undefeated 7-0 Navy vs. 6-1 North Texas. Blake Horvath vs. Drew Mestemaker.
That’s your perfect site.
