Justice (@Justice_2318) and Luke (@ProbascoLuke) are back with another action-packed episode covering everything in the world of G5 College Football! 🏈

The G5 Hive is back and ready to dive deep into the chaos of the offseason! This week, we close out The G5 Shuffle: Sun Belt Conference Edition — spotlighting the Sun Belt (SBC) as teams gear up for the 2026 season. The Sun Belt got hit hard by the coaching carousel after a strong 2025 showing. Several standout head coaches were poached by other programs. This led to a wave of new hires and promotions to stabilize those programs. These moves shake up the conference hierarchy big time — some teams are rebuilding, while others aim to capitalize on the turnover.

On the roster side, the transfer portal has been wild for Sun Belt squads. The window closed recently, with teams loading up on additions to offset losses and position for 2026 contention. Standouts include heavy portal activity at places like App State (adding QB's Malachi Singleton from Purdue, Tommy Ulatowski from Kennesaw State and Henry Hasselback from UCLA and others), and broader churn across the league as programs chase talent to fill gaps from coaching changes and NFL departures. Expect discussions on top portal winners/losers in the Sun Belt, key additions that could make an immediate impact (like QBs, defensive linemen, and playmakers), subtractions that hurt, and how these shifts set up the conference race. Tune in for breakdowns, hot takes, and predictions on who rises and who rebuilds in the Sun Belt Conference for 2026!

What are your thoughts on the Sun Belt coaching raid and portal frenzy? Drop predictions below — who wins the conference next year?
