Last season was a bonanza for schools from outside the Power Five conferences. A record seven were ranked in the final AP Top 25. Can the so-called Group of Five carry that momentum into 2021? On the latest AP Top 25 College Football Podcast, Chris Vannini of The Athletic joins AP’s Ralph Russo to preview the non-Power Five leagues from the American Athletic Conference, where Cincinnati hopes to make a playoff push, to the Sun Belt. Then Pete Sampson of The Athletic joins the show to preview Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have a new quarterback and new defensive coordinator coming off a playoff appearance. Plus, a tribute to Bobby Bowden.
