KICKING OFF 2007: PREVIEWING WEEK ONE
August 30, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
Although the initial week of the season always has its share of lopsided matchups, there remain numerous games on the schedule that should wet the appetite of any college football fan. The ultimate goal this season is a berth in the BCS national championship game on January 7th in New Orleans, and the quest begins on Thursday and goes straight through a long Labor Day weekend of action. Highlighting this week's slate....[MORE]

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL FOR ANOTHER YEAR
August 29, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Sitting down to watch the Little League World Series the past week, I realized that what is so compelling about watching 12-year-olds play baseball is the same thing that makes college football so compelling. When push comes to shove, college football is still one of the purest sports out there. In this summer alone: a home run record gets tainted by possible steroid use, pro football reels from superstars running dogfights....[MORE]

PREVIEW REWIND: WHAT THE STAFF HAS TO SAY
August 27, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
Game week, at last, is here. The start of the 2007 college football season is now just hours away, and the SCS.com staff has weighed in one last time on what to look for this upcoming season. Which teams and players will surprise, and which ones will disappoint? Which national title contenders will fall on their faces, and which ones will come out of nowhere to make a run at the BCS? Which early-season matchups are the biggest....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: PRESEASON FAB 15
August 24, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
Like many others, the SCS.com staff has placed the USC Trojans atop its preseason poll. Pete Carroll's squad was voted the best team in America, with Texas and Michigan following closely behind. LSU and Wisconsin round out the Preseason Fab 15's top five. Big East rivals Louisville and West Virginia are next in line, followed by former Big East power Virginia Tech. Oklahoma and defending national champion Florida complete....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: PRESEASON ALL-AMERICANS
August 22, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
Over the past six weeks or so, the SCS.com staff has filled you in on where each and every team will finish in the conference standings this fall. We then let you know where to make your postseason reservations - if necessary - for 2007's holiday season. But why are certain teams projected to fare better than others? In many cases, the reason is simple; they have better players. And with that in mind, the SCS.com....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: BOWL PROJECTIONS
August 20, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
The conferences have been previewed. The teams have been broken down. Predictions have been made. So where will all of this lead? To the postseason of course, which means it's time to take a look at where our projections have placed teams among this year's 32-game bowl field. Like a season ago, there are a total of 10 BCS slots available, eight to the four regular BCS games and the final two to the BCS Title Game....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: POTENTIALLY HUGE UPSETS
August 17, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
Every season brings upsets. Some are not so surprising, and some come out of nowhere. There�s no question that the 2007 season will bring its share of upsets, so we�re breaking down the ones that have the most potential to happen, while also going out on a limb with a couple. The list is in no particular order, but it goes up until the halfway point of the season. These are the early-season, earth-shaking possibilities....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: SEC
August 15, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
The SEC continues to establish itself as the best league in all of college football, claiming another national title in 2006 with the Florida Gators dismantling of Ohio State in the national championship game. The league sent 9 of its 12 programs into the postseason last year, winning 6, including 2 BCS games. Further demonstrating how good this league is, the SEC has won 7 of its 8 BCS games since the 2001 season, and every....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: CHANGES FOR 2007
August 13, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
Last season the NCAA implemented numerous changes in clock management in an effort to speed up the overall pace of the game. After a year that was full of complaints, the committee spent the off-season reviewing the rules and focusing on addressing areas that will not reduce the number of plays in the game, an area that was the major concern last season. Also during the off-season, the BCS formula was....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: ACC
August 10, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
Yes, the ACC is a basketball conference. However, it is still a strong football league with perennial contenders such as Miami, Florid State, and Virginia Tech that dominate the conference every year. Out of the blue in 2006, Wake Forest shocked the college football world. The Deacons were an ACC bottom dweller, but last fall Wake Forest won the hearts of millions with an improbable run to the ACC title game. To put the....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: TOP NON-CONFERENCE GAMES
August 8, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
The past two years, college football has been blessed with amazing games between the Texas Longhorns and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Both seasons the road team won a tough battle and went on to an undefeated regular season. While 2007 may not have another �#1 vs. #2� titanic September battle, the slate of non-conference games does not lack in level of prestige and excitement. These games may define a season....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: BIG TEN
August 6, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
Nine. That is the number of times Ohio State or Michigan has won or shared the Big Ten Title since 1996. The Big Two, I mean the Big Ten, has been blasted in recent years due to the lack of depth in the conference. Wisconsin, though, is making a run at prominence in the conference after going 11-1 last year, and they return a strong 16 starters on offense and defense, as well as their talented special teams duo....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: IMPACT NEWCOMERS
August 3, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
College football is all about new beginnings. Out with the old and in with new(comers). Florida, last year�s national champion, had a 2nd year coach in Urban Meyer, and talented freshmen such as Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin, who were recruited by the 2nd year coach in his first year. Stud receiver Andre Caldwell returned for a successful senior season after being hurt all of 2006. Florida needed everyone to contribute....[MORE]

2007 PREVIEW: BIG XII
August 1, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Big XII has been nothing if not consistent in recent years. The South division has been dominant, and Texas and Oklahoma have dominated the scene. After UT brought home the national championship on the legs of Vince Young in 2005, the 2006 season was a disappointment on the national stage. While the SEC, Big Ten, and Big East were celebrating legitimate national title contenders and huge November battles....[MORE]
