SB Nation's Bill Connelly is doing his 128-team college football countdown and he has wrapped up the schools on the outside of the power conferences. Along the way he has ranked each conference but now that he has upped that level to rank the 63 teams that are not in a power conference.
For those who follow Bill C.'s work he is extremely into advanced stats, but these rankings are not based on that but rather his football knowledge.
At the top of the list it is no shock to see the Houston Cougars there but in the top five the Mountain West has a pair of schools in Boise State and San Diego State.
