COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: SEC
August 26, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
It seems really hard to call 2008 a down year for the best conference in America when a third straight national championship entered the coffers, but that's exactly what happened. The offenses were mediocre at best, the defenses were not up to the normal caliber, and rebuilding programs littered the landscape. While Vanderbilt and Alabama were great stories, the poor years of Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee overshadowed....[MORE]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: ACC
August 24, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
To an even greater extent than the Big Ten and the Big East conferences, the ACC has been maligned during the BCS football decade for not showing up on the national stage. Last year the competitive parity of the race allowed a rebuilding Virginia Tech squad to take their second-straight conference crown, but the prospects looked poor to improve on the dreadful 1-9 BCS bowl record. However, the Hokies took care....[MORE]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: BIG TEN
August 21, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Ahh the maligned big boys of the Midwest, the Big (eleven) Ten. Whether it's Ohio State's recent BCS struggles or the entire league's problems with USC, the conference certainly has earned a poor reputation in recent seasons. It is relatively unfair to criticize a major conference for sturggling when they play up to high competition in the bowl game slate, but eventually the conference has to win some high profile games....[MORE]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: BIG 12
August 19, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Big XII Conference was definitely the most fun conference to watch week-in and week-out in 2008. Not only does the Big XII have the most compelling rivalry at the elite level of college football, but tons of star power and deep talent pools in even the weaker teams makes for one of the best conferences in college football. Oklahoma is again the defending champion, but it did not come without controvery as Texas....[MORE]

PREVIEW '09: WAC, MWC, CUSA
August 17, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
The WAC has been watching as a dominant dynasty Boise State has walked all over the conference this decade. However, Boise State needs everyone else to get better or else they will continue to be passed up like 2008, where an undefeated record and a win on the road at Oregon was not enough apparently to make the BCS. Still, the lower tier of programs have some fresh start coaches and appear to be headed in....[MORE]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: PAC-10
August 14, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Seven Years of dominance for the Men of Troy. Seven years of national title aspirations and beating on the poor Big Ten in the Rose Bowl. USC hopes that like most powerhouses, 2009 is just a reloading season on the path to 8 consecutive league titles, but the competition will be fierce as usual to dethrone them. Although Arizona and Washington programs leave a bit to be desired as they rebound, there's at least 5-6 threats....[MORE]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW '09: BIG EAST
August 12, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Welcome to the BCS conference version of the parity case study. While the Big East has been open to attacks on the conference crown since the ACC departures, West Virginia has been a steady favorite and national title contender. Now in year two post-Rich Rodriguez, the Mountaineers have fallen back to earth and made this conference a full on battle between six teams. Although there may not be much national title attention....[MORE]

PREVIEW '09: SUN BELT, INDEPENDENTS, MAC
August 10, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Sun Belt and Mid-American Conferences, history shows that you never know where the non-BCS contenders will emerge. The college football is just as passionate even if there's not 100,000 people in the stands, so look for these conferences to try and make a statement of improvement this year. The likes of Troy, Central Michigan, Navy, and Notre Dame are not to be taken lightly in 2009. Of course never discount the chances....[MORE]
