2007 PREVIEW: PAC-10
July 30, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
Southern Cal has dominated the conference in recent seasons, winning 5 consecutive championships and compiling a Pac-10 record of 37-4 during that timeframe. The Trojans have set the bar high and raised expectations across the entire league as teams focus on trying to keep pace with the USC juggernaut. There was a glimpse of hope for other programs last season as USC lost 2 games in the conference for the 1st time....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: COACHES ON THE HOT SEAT
July 27, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
After a tumultuous season two years ago, the coaching carousel was not all that active in the off-season this year. Sure, there were some awful coaching jobs that got rewarded with pink slips (John L. Smith, anyone?), and there was plenty of drama with the situation in Alabama. In all seriousness though, with only 13 firings last season, many of the coaches on the hottest of chairs got the job done and are now....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: BIG EAST
July 25, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
It was only three years ago that the future of the Big East as a BCS conference seemed bleak as the ACC ripped two of the best Big East football teams away in Miami and Virginia Tech, as well as a solid program in Boston College. The Big East was the joke major conference, what with needing to expand just to stay at eight teams while giving away their second place bowl berth to Notre Dame by agreement....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: CONFERENCE USA
July 23, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Houston Cougars continued their resurgence last season, winning the CUSA West division title and then defeating the flagship program of Conference USA, Southern Miss, in the league championship game. There have been two constants in this league since its inception: Southern Miss winning, and significant ups and downs with the remaining league programs. USM has recorded 13 consecutive winning seasons....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: HEISMAN FRONT-RUNNERS
July 20, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
The college football season is still more than a month away, but the 2007 Heisman watch is already in full swing. Many names are being tossed around as to who has what it takes to follow 2006 winner Troy Smith as the next man to hear his name called in New York in December. Quarterbacks have dominated the winners� list in the last several years, with Reggie Bush in 2005 being the only non-quarterback to win the award since....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: THE MAC
July 18, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Mid-American Conference was once a strong mid-major conference. The MAC used to be the smart pick for early season upset specials. Recently, the MAC has become one of the weakest conferences in college football. Teams from the past and present such as Utah, Boise State, Hawaii, Fresno State, BYU, and TCU have changed the role of a mid-major, and the MAC has been left behind with the likes of the Sun Belt....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: THE MOUNTAIN WEST
July 16, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
The programs in the Mountain West are looking to build upon a strong 2006 season that saw the league win three of its four bowl games in impressive fashion as TCU, BYU, and Utah all rolled to victories. The only loss for the league was New Mexico�s defeat to San Jose State, a game in which the Lobos dominated on the stat sheet, but lost 4 turnovers that they could not overcome. Brigham Young dominated league play in 2006....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: THE INDEPENDENTS
July 12, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
Four Independent squads - Army, Navy, Notre Dame, and newcomer Western Kentucky - are among the ranks of Division I college football this fall. It appears the Midshipmen could be the best of the bunch in 2007, as they return most of their offensive firepower following yet another successful season under coach Paul Johnson last year. Notre Dame, meanwhile, could be in a rebuilding mode after losing much of....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: THE WAC
July 9, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
I never thought I would see a WAC school make a BCS bowl game, much less win a BCS bowl game. Boise State shocked the world when they beat Big 12 champion Oklahoma in an overtime thriller in last year's Fiesta Bowl. You can�t prepare yourself for that type of Cinderella story. Flash-forward to the 2007 season, and the WAC is getting itself ready for another great season of football. The WAC has two contenders....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: THE SUN BELT
July 5, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Sun Belt Conference, once dominated by North Texas, has become an evenly balanced league in which numerous teams are capable of stepping up and claiming the conference title and earning the league�s automatic berth to the New Orleans Bowl. The new leader of the pack looks to be a surging Troy program that won the 2006 championship, needing a one point victory over Middle Tennessee State to claim the title....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: PROGRAMS ON THE REBOUND
July 3, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
As we begin to gear up for yet another exciting season of college football, it is always a good time to take a look at teams that look capable of changing their fortunes after a season of struggle and disappointment. When looking for teams that have the potential to make a huge turnaround from the prior season, the key is to find a roster full of experience and a favorable schedule that sparks a return to winning football....[MORE]
