| 70stang | 10 | Fresno State has beaten 2 P5 opponents, 1 G5 opponent, and 1 FCS opponent. They are second in this tier for beating their two P5 opponents in their own houses, but with a lower quality of opponent than Ohio State has faced. |

| Due_Connection179 | 24 | Last Week NR vs Kent State : Won 53 - 10. They have two wins vs bottom-tier P5 teams (39 - 35 win at Purdue and a 29 pt shutout at Arizona State). Add in a 2OT win at home vs Eastern Washington (little iffy but great FCS school) and a 43-pt beatdown of Kent State, and I felt pretty comfortable putting Fresno State into the top 25 for this week. Next Week vs Nevada - 24.5 pt favorites - Prediction : win and covers the spread |

| JetoGrov | 17 | Does your team have 2 P5 road wins??? Well Fresno State does. Only reason I have them below Cuse is bc of common opponent Purdue |
| youngs2309 | 17 | |
| mathmanhale | 18 | |
| SpursUpSoundsGudToMe | 18 | contender for best of the G5, my algo likes a shutout and they shut out a P5 that scored 28 on So Cal... I hate that they went to OT with an FCS, but love that they've beaten two P5s and annihilated a MAC team. I think the Mountain West is really strong this year, interested to see where this goes. |

| throwaway_6786 | 22 | I'm still a little skeptical about the Bulldogs (the Eastern Washington game mainly), but after watching ASU put up a good fight against #9 USC (the same ASU that Fresno State crushed 29-0) and watching Fresno State destroy Kent State with ease, I'm willing to forgo my doubts and rank Fresno State. |

| a_bit_of_a_misnomer_ | 25 | I really went back and forth as to whether #25 should be Fresno or Kentucky, but the Bulldogs get the advantage due to their schedule. Two Power 5 wins as a MWC school is nothing to sniff at no matter who they're playing. |
| AnAngryPanda1 | 25 | |
| big_thunder_man | 25 | Undefeated with a power 5 win over Arizona State. Between them and Air Force, Fresno State's schedule is tougher. |
