G5 Classified: Episode 11

Colton Denning -

On episode 11 of G5 Classified, Gabe Kuhn and Kyron Samuels discuss:

  • The first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings. Kyron makes an impassioned case that BYU got the short end of the stick from the committee and that Georgia should be ranked higher than Ohio State. Gabe believes Georgia is ranked too high, and that the committee engages in logo bias when it comes to ranking blue blood programs.
  • Breaking down the Ohio State-Penn State game, another big-stage loss for James Franklin, and why the guys' opinion of the Buckeyes hasn't changed despite their win.
  • Trying to make sense of Carson Beck's struggles, whether he can turn it around against Ole Miss, and Georgia's outlook for the rest of the year.
  • Clowning Mike Gundy for his comments about Oklahoma State fans being "broke," plus winners and losers from this past week.

Also, former Memphis/Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente joins the show to talk about what he's up to now, why he's not itching to get back into full-time coaching at the moment, Memphis needing to lean into making its football program a powerhouse, developing Paxton Lynch into a first-round pick, and his memories of coaching Gabe.

Lastly, they canvass the G5 landscape with thoughts on Boise State's CFP ranking, Memphis' bad loss to UTSA, and predictions for week 11!
