Though these independents are technically not a conference we like to group them together as one. Several things each of these schools has in common is they've all won a national championship and they all have a Heisman Trophy winner. They were combined 4-0 last year in bowl games. Each of these programs is on a upward swing!

Late in the fourth quarter, with Army trailing by six and driving in Midshipmen territory, Warrick followed up a second-down sack with a tackle for loss on 4th-and-7 from the Navy 25-yard line, effectively ending the Black Knights’ hopes of a comeback. Warrick ended the day with a team-high nine tackles.
