And so we come to the portion of the Power Five previews where we cover the conference that was looking in from the outside at the College Football Playoff last year. In 2015, three-quarters of the teams ended the year with winning records, but none ended them with fewer than two losses after conference champion Stanford fell at...
With the start of the 2016 college football season approaching rapidly, we are compiling conference previews here at Sports Unbiased to break down each of the FBS leagues as well as evaluating the four independent schools at the top level of the sport. We have already compiled our PRS Rankings for the preseason; be sure to check them...
Earlier this week, Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams, Jr. announced that he would transfer to Oregon after completing his final semester of undergraduate work in the spring. The decision offers a rare opportunity to see a standout FCS star making a leap up in competitive quality prior to the NFL. While plenty of...
Championship weekend provided plenty of opportunities for the half-dozen hopefuls for the four bids into the inaugural College Football Playoff at the FBS level. Oregon atoned for its only loss of the season, trouncing Arizona in the rematch at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara 51-13 to capture its first Pac-12 championship since 2011....
The Big Ten and Big 12 have more teams in the top 10 of this week's FBS Top 128 Power Rankings.

It is hardly in a position of weakness, but the league...
One team has been conspicuously absent from the leaders in the FBS Top 128 Power Rankings this season. The Oregon Ducks have become synonymous with high-flying offense over the past half-dozen years, consistently knocking off opponents by 10, 20, even 30 points per game. Yet in 2014 the Ducks have been mired in the second tier of...
Nebraska entered the weekend as the team best positioned to knock off Ohio State for the Big Ten championship. By the end of Saturday afternoon, the Cornhuskers had been exposed as pretenders to the throne.
Wisconsin spotted the visitors a two-touchdown lead after Nebraska scored less than a minute into the second quarter to go...
The SEC has slipped back a bit in the FBS Top 128 Rankings as teams in the West continue to beat up on one another. Alabama's overtime survival in Death Valley led to a two-spot drop; Ole Miss' shutout of FCS Presbyterian wasn't enough to keep it from being surpassed by a couple of teams; and Auburn's defeat yielded similar results....
Since bringing in Utah and Colorado in 2011, forming a couple of six-team divisions, and holding a championship game at the home site of the team with the better record, the Pac-12 has seen power shift completely toward the teams in the North. Essentially the conference has become a two-horse race, with the winner of the...
