After ranking each of the Power Five conferences from its best team through its worst, USA TODAY Sports is getting ready for college football by evaluating the best of the best in the Group of Five.

It’s a landscape recently dominated by Central Florida, which has claimed back-to-back New Year’s Six bowl berths and lost just once across the past two seasons.
