Since 2010, Kansas has cycled through five permanent head coaches and won just six Big 12 games. No FBS program has been as predictably pathetic.

USA TODAY Sports examines six teams that could have breakthrough seasons and be the next Coastal Carolina, from Nevada to Texas-San Antonio.

From some big college football programs in the FBS to coaches struggling to make ends meet in the Group of Five, these are the ones on the hot seat.

To get back into this year’s College Football Playoff championship game, OSU will have to get past Oregon, Penn State and the West division winner.

Clemson leads the way with six players, while Alabama and Ohio State each place four on annual preseason team.

A law firm hired to investigate gender disparities around NCAA championship events found that the organization “prioritizes men’s basketball.”

Defending national champion Alabama and longtime doormat Vanderbilt bookend the SEC, with the Sooners and Longhorns third and seventh, respectively.

The focus for the SEC now shifts to how quickly — and at what financial cost — the conference can add Texas and Oklahoma. The goal is July 1, 2025.

The schools did not specify which conference they intend to join, but all signs point to the Southeastern, which would swell to 16 teams.
