Memphis made the strongest recent G6 statement by handling UNLV, with second-half trench dominance exposing limits in UNLV's early playoff case. The September 12 Memphis-Boise State matchup is the next major access test, with Boise State, Fresno State, Navy, New Mexico, and SMU among the relevant teams and the field still likely to include only one G6 team.
