There might be more intrigue surrounding the Group of Five<\/a> this year than any season in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From some of the best players in the country to coaches aiming to build on last season\u2019s magic, there\u2019s no doubt this will be an exciting season for the Group of Five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of the biggest G5 storylines in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n

G5 Year 2 Coaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There were a few coaches that exceeded expectations last year in their first season leading their respective programs. Some of these teams were pleasant surprises such as Barry Odom\u2019s UNLV squad and Texas State<\/a> with GJ Kinne. Then there were teams like Liberty, who had no problem living up to the hype in Jamey Chadwell\u2019s first season at the helm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Golesh is entering his second year at South Florida, and college football betting odds<\/a> currently have the Bulls at +700 to win the AAC<\/a>. Spencer Danielson is technically in his first season as head coach for Boise State but coached the final five games of the season in an interim role, resurrecting a Broncos squad that wasn\u2019t playing to its potential. Danielson guided Boise State to a Mountain West<\/a> title and is under a lot of pressure to lead the Broncos to not only another MW championship but to the College Football Playoff. Another second year coach to keep an eye on is Lance Taylor at Western Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are expected to be some of the best G5 programs this year are led by second-year coaches. If some of these guys have another strong season, Power Four programs are likely to be on the phones.<\/p>\n\n\n
