#59               Vanderbilt               Commodores               
               It               wasn't               quite               the               breakthrough               Northwestern               experienced               in               1995               or               the               revival               witnessed               at               Rutgers               in               2006,               but               the               Vanderbilt               football               program               enjoyed               a               renaissance               of               its               own               last               fall.

The               Commodores               didn't               capture               a               league               title               (like               Northwestern               in               '95)               or               reach               double-figures               in               wins               (like               Rutgers               in               '06),               but               they               did               accomplish               something               that               hadn't               been               done               at               the               school               in               more               than               two               decades               -               win               more               games               than               they               lost.
               "It               was               huge.

We               can't               downplay               it,"               says               Vanderbilt               coach               Bobby               Johnson,               who               led               his               team               to               a               7-6               record               capped               off               by               a               win               in               the               Music               City               Bowl.

"It               was               big               for               the               program.

It               was               the               next               step               we               had               to               make               -               go               to               a               bowl               game               and               have               a               winning               record."
               The               Dores'               2008               season               featured               a               5-0               start,               an               appearance               on               campus               by               ESPN's               College               GameDay,               four               wins               in               league               play               -               the               most               since               1982               -               and               the               school's               first               bowl               victory               since               1955.

Before               you               dismiss               the               Commodores               as               a               one-hit               wonder               who               will               quietly               slip               back               to               the               bottom               of               the               SEC               food               chain,               keep               in               mind               that               Johnson               welcomes               back               17               starters               -               tied               for               most               in               the               league               -               including               nine               on               a               defense               that               ranked               21st               in               the               nation               in               scoring               (19.6               ppg).

"I               don't               think               we               will               ever               get               to               the               point               where               we               are               a               dominant               team               against               the               schedule               that               we               play,"               Johnson               says.

"But               I               like               where               we               are               and               what               we               have               coming               back."
               #58               Kentucky               Wildcats
               In               2006               and               2007,               Kentucky               football               shed               its               laughingstock               image               with               some               serious               offense.

Last               season,               the               Wildcats               continued               their               climb               with               a               decidedly               different               identity,               as               their               defense               led               the               way               to               a               third               straight               bowl               victory.
               In               2009,               the               Cats               hope               for               a               flashback.
               "We               want               to               get               back               to               that               offense               of               two               years               ago,"               says               Joker               Phillips,               UK's               head               coach-in-waiting,               whose               title               changed               in               the               offseason               from               offensive               coordinator               to               head               coach               of               the               offense.
               Though               Kentucky               hopes               to               maintain               its               upward               momentum               on               defense               -               where               two               key               seniors               return               after               having               considered               the               NFL               Draft               -               the               Wildcats               hope               to               improve               significantly               on               an               offensive               attack               that               averaged               22.6               points               per               game,               down               from               36.5               in               2007.
               "Defensively,               it               looks               like               we'll               be               an               improved               team               over               what               we               were               last               year,               which               was               a               marked               improvement               for               us               over               the               previous               years,"               UK               coach               Rich               Brooks               says.

"Offensively,               there               isn't               any               question               in               my               mind               that               we'll               be               better               than               we               were               last               year."
               #57               Missouri               Tigers
               
               Coming               off               the               most               successful               two-year               period               in               the               football               program's               history,               which               included               22               wins               and               two               Big               12               North               Division               titles,               the               Missouri               Tigers               might               just               enter               the               2009               season               with               more               questions               than               at               any               time               in               Gary               Pinkel's               nine               years               in               charge.

Gone               are               14               talented               starters               from               last               year's               Alamo               Bowl               champions,               who               solidified               a               winning               tradition               at               Missouri               with               their               fourth               straight               bowl               appearance.
               The               graduation               losses               included               two               All-Americans               (tight               end               Chase               Coffman               and               receiver/return               man               Jeremy               Maclin),               the               school's               all-time               leaders               in               passing               (quarterback               Chase               Daniel)               and               scoring               (kicker               Jeff               Wolfert)               and               other               stars               such               as               defensive               tackle               Ziggy               Hood,               defensive               end               Stryker               Sulak               and               safety               William               Moore.
               Even               Pinkel's               coaching               staff               took               a               couple               of               major               hits               after               last               year's               10-4               season.

Offensive               coordinator               Dave               Christensen               was               hired               as               the               head               coach               at               Wyoming,               and               defensive               coordinator               Matt               Eberflus               accepted               an               assistant               position               in               the               NFL               with               the               Cleveland               Browns.

The               coaching               changes               were               the               first               Pinkel               has               had               to               deal               with               since               coming               to               Missouri               in               2001,               and               he               filled               both               coordinator               positions               from               within               by               promoting               quarterbacks               coach               David               Yost               to               offensive               coordinator               and               putting               linebackers               coach               Dave               Steckel               in               charge               of               the               defense.

Pinkel               hopes               the               players               in               his               program               will               also               offer               suitable               replacements               from               within               but               there               are               few               guarantees.

Only               nine               starters               return               from               last               year,               but               Pinkel               believes               his               program               will               continue               to               produce               pleasant               surprises.
               "We               lost               more               starters               this               year               than               we               have               in               the               past,               but               that's               also               exciting,"               Pinkel               says.

"That               happened               to               us               a               few               years               ago,               and               a               lot               of               those               guys               became               great               players."
               #56               Kansas               State               Wildcats
               
               He               couldn't               stay               away.

Bill               Snyder               thought               he               was               finished               at               Kansas               State,               retiring               following               the               2005               season.

But               he               never               really               left,               quietly               watching               as               Ron               Prince               took               over               and               guided               the               Wildcats               to               the               Texas               Bowl,               which               was               particularly               impressive               considering               K-State               had               gone               bowl-less               in               Snyder's               last               two               seasons.

But               Prince               couldn't               sustain               the               momentum,               failing               to               finish               with               a               winning               record               in               the               next               two               seasons               (5-7               in               each),               which               ultimately               would               signal               the               end               of               his               tenure.

And               who               better               to               fix               a               program               in               need               of               repair               than               Snyder               -               again?
               The               reclamation               won't               be               as               drastic               as               when               he               accepted               the               position               in               November               1988,               when               the               Wildcats               were               mired               in               a               0-26-1               rut,               but               his               approach               will               be               similar.

It's               how               he               won               136               games               in               17               seasons,               and               the               K-State               faithful               are               hopeful               he               can               tack               on               a               few               more,               at               least               a               half-dozen,               this               season.

It's               not               going               to               be               easy,               he               warns.
               "We               have               an               awful               long               ways               to               go,"               the               69-year-old               coach               says.
               #55               Tulsa               Hurricanes
               
               Tulsa               has               established               itself               as               one               of               Conference               USA's               top               programs               since               the               league               went               through               realignment               in               2005.

The               Golden               Hurricane               have               played               in               three               of               the               league's               four               conference               championship               games.

But               losses               in               the               past               two               title               contests,               including               a               27-24               home               setback               to               East               Carolina               last               season,               have               made               this               team               hungry.

The               offense               has               led               the               nation               in               total               yards               in               Todd               Graham's               first               two               seasons               as               head               coach.

This               year,               Graham               will               have               to               find               his               third               quarterback               in               three               seasons               and               is               looking               for               a               seamless               transition               after               co-offensive               coordinator               Gus               Malzahn               moved               to               Auburn.

The               defense               showed               slight               improvement               last               season               but               still               needs               to               shore               up               its               secondary.

Tulsa               has               won               21               games               in               the               past               two               seasons,               but               the               program               craves               a               league               title               and               trip               to               the               Liberty               Bowl.
               #54               Troy               Trojans
               
               It's               hard               to               find               a               chink               in               the               armor               of               the               Trojan               offense,               a               unit               that               ranked               second               in               the               Sun               Belt               in               scoring               last               year               by               averaging               32.8               points               per               game.

Quarterback               Levi               Brown               returns               after               taking               over               at               midseason               and               leading               Troy               to               the               league               title               and               the               New               Orleans               Bowl;               wide               receiver               Jerrel               Jernigan               is               back               after               setting               a               Trojan               record               for               season               receptions;               and               DuJuan               Harris               is               coming               off               a               1,077-yard               season.
               The               only               problem               is               in               the               offensive               front,               where               the               Trojans               have               to               replace               a               pair               of               all-league               tackles.

Starting               center               Danny               Franks               underwent               offseason               foot               surgery               and               missed               spring               practice.

Senior               Steven               Adams               moved               over               to               center               in               the               spring,               but               he               is               expected               to               slide               back               to               guard               -               assuming               Franks               is               healthy.

The               other               guard               is               Tyler               Clark,               while               a               mixture               of               junior               college               signees               and               returning               backups               will               fill               the               tackle               slots.
               Brown               wound               up               the               league's               Newcomer               of               the               Year,               stepping               in               for               the               injured               Jamie               Hampton               after               five               games               and               throwing               for               2,030               yards               and               15               touchdowns.

               Jernigan               set               a               school               record               with               77               receptions               last               year,               five               of               which               went               for               touchdowns.

Harris               had               36               catches               but               was               more               valuable               in               the               running               game               after               Hampton               was               sidelined,               and               wound               up               with               almost               half               of               Troy's               rushing               yards.

               #53               Colorado               Buffaloes
               
               Hopes               soared               at               Colorado               last               summer,               and               a               3-0               start               that               included               a               rousing,               nationally               televised               overtime               victory               over               West               Virginia               did               nothing               to               deflate               them.

Things               unraveled,               though,               and               if               the               Buffaloes               thought               they               were               snake-bitten,               they               had               ample               cause.

In               2008,               what               could               go               wrong,               did               go               wrong.
               By               season's               end,               the               battered               Buffaloes               started               a               safety               with               a               separated               shoulder               and               an               offensive               guard               who               needed               shoulder               surgery               so               badly               he               could               barely               move,               according               to               head               coach               Dan               Hawkins.

That               those               two               were               even               on               the               field               that               cold               night               in               Nebraska               epitomized               what               the               program               endured.
               The               Buffs               lost               a               total               of               121               player               games               due               to               injury               or               illness.

Six               players               were               arrested               or               cited               with               charges               including               off-campus               fights,               DUIs               and               first-degree               criminal               trespass.

And               receiver               Markques               Simas               and               offensive               linemen               Sione               Tau,               two               players               who               could               have               played               key               roles,               especially               considering               all               the               attrition,               were               academically               ineligible.
               When               spring               ball               commenced,               the               Buffaloes               were               a               jumpy               bunch.
               "We're               ready               to               go.

We               just               wish               it               was               September               or               August               instead               of               spring,"               offensive               lineman               Ryan               Miller               said.

"We               wish               we               could               strap               it               up               and               unleash               some               of               this               aggression."
               Hawkins               is               13-24               in               three               seasons.

He               received               an               extension               last               September,               so               it               would               take               a               colossal               collapse               in               2009               for               the               school               to               consider               a               change.

Patience               among               fans               is               starting               to               wear               thin,               though,               and               the               kind               of               collapse               that               would               prompt               change               might               not               be               out               of               the               question.
               The               Buffaloes               enter               2009               believing               they               have               the               talent               to               contend               in               the               Big               12,               yet               they               were               a               one-point               win               over               Kansas               State               and               a               goal               line               stand               against               Iowa               State               from               going               0-8               in               league               play.

To               contend,               they               need               better               performances               from               players               and               coaches               across               the               board.

Keeping               players               on               the               field               will               help,               too.

The               depth               is               better,               yet               still               lags.

A               manageable               schedule               helps,               but               only               13               seniors               on               scholarship               make               leadership               pivotal.
               After               trying               a               no-huddle               scheme               that               produced               the               Big               12's               worst               offense               in               2008,               coaches               in               spring               said               they               would               emphasize               a               power-running               attack               behind               a               physical               offensive               line               in               2009.

The               defense               is               expected               be               more               aggressive,               using               a               new               3-4               scheme.

Maybe               those               changes               will               work.
               That's               the               deal               with               Colorado.

In               Year               4               of               Hawkins'               tenure,               the               search               for               a               successful               formula               continues.

               When               Boston               College               athletic               director               Gene               DeFilippo               fired               Jeff               Jagodzinski               after               two               seasons               for               lying               about               his               contact               with               the               New               York               Jets               and               defiantly               interviewing               with               the               NFL               team               against               the               school's               wishes,               DeFilippo               set               out               to               find               a               replacement               willing               to               making               a               long-term               commitment               to               the               Eagles.
               "I               want               a               person               who               wants               to               be               at               Boston               College               and               who               wants               to               stay               here               a               long,               long               time,"               DeFilippo               said               at               the               time.

"I               thought               I               had               that               person."
               DeFilippo               probably               didn't               realize               he               indeed               had               that               person               still               working               on               BC's               football               staff:               longtime               defensive               coordinator               Frank               Spaziani.

DeFilippo               had               made               Spaziani               the               interim               coach               for               the               Eagles'               bowl               victory               over               Navy               in               2006               after               Tom               O'Brien's               departure               to               NC               State.

Now,               after               12               years               as               a               Boston               College               assistant               -               the               last               10               as               defensive               coordinator               -               Spaziani               gets               the               full-time               gig.

For               the               first               time               in               his               40-year               coaching               career               other               than               that               one-game               stint               in               the               Meineke               Car               Care               Bowl,               he'll               occupy               the               big               chair.
               "Yeah,               the               job               has               obviously               changed,"               says               Spaziani,               the               Eagles'               third               head               coach               in               the               last               four               seasons.

"I               don't               think               I've               changed,               but               the               job               has               changed."
               Spaziani,               who               will               leave               the               coordination               of               the               defense               to               Bill               McGovern,               will               preside               over               myriad               changes               on               a               team               that               went               9-5               last               season               and               repeated               as               Atlantic               Coast               Conference               Atlantic               Division               champion.
               Offensively,               Spaziani               must               select               a               new               quarterback               from               among               two               inexperienced               candidates               to               operate               a               new               spread               offense               installed               by               a               new               offensive               coordinator,               Gary               Tranquill.

The               defense               returns               some               talent,               but               Spaziani               must               plug               a               pair               of               gaping               holes               left               by               the               departure               of               mammoth               tackles               B.J.

Following               spring               practice,               Herzlich               was               diagnosed               with               a               form               of               cancer               known               as               Ewing's               sarcoma.

It               is               unlikely               he               will               ever               play               football               again.
               For               all               the               changes               the               Eagles               have               undergone               and               will               undergo               this               season,               Spaziani               remains               a               rock-solid               constant.
               "He's               the               guy               everybody               on               the               team               really               wanted,"               says               junior               free               safety               Wes               Davis.

"Everybody               really               respects               what               he's               done               for               us               and               what               he's               been               doing               and               the               way               he               talks               to               us               about               everybody               getting               their               opportunity.

               Entering               his               fifth               season               at               South               Carolina,               Steve               Spurrier               is               still               searching               for               the               right               formula               to               do               "what's               never               been               done               before"               -               bring               an               SEC               championship               home               to               Columbia.

The               coach               who               won               six               SEC               titles               and               a               national               championship               during               a               12-year               run               at               Florida               has               found               the               sledding               to               be               tougher               at               South               Carolina.
               The               64-year-old               Spurrier               is               28-22               with               the               Gamecocks,               including               a               15-17               SEC               record,               and               has               not               finished               above               .500               in               the               conference               since               his               first               season               in               2005.

After               South               Carolina               was               embarrassed               in               its               final               three               games               last               season               -               outscored               118-30               in               losses               to               Florida,               Clemson               and               Iowa               -               there               was               major               turnover               on               the               coaching               staff.

A               couple               of               assistants               were               fired               or               forced               out;               several               left               on               their               own.

Four               of               the               five               new               coaches               are               on               offense,               where               Spurrier               wants               to               improve               a               rushing               attack               that               was               the               SEC's               worst               the               past               two               seasons.
               Defensively,               there               are               big               holes               to               fill               on               a               unit               that               was               among               the               league's               best               in               2008.

A               pair               of               defensive               backs               (Captain               Munnerlyn               and               Emanuel               Cook)               left               early               for               the               NFL               Draft.

Fortunately               for               Gamecock               fans,               All-SEC               linebacker               Eric               Norwood               returns               for               his               senior               season               after               initially               announcing               he               was               leaving.
               Norwood               is               the               team's               best               player,               but               the               Gamecocks'               fortunes               will               be               tied               to               quarterback               Stephen               Garcia,               who               will               try               to               live               up               to               the               hype               that               accompanied               his               arrival               before               the               2007               season.

If               Garcia               gets               protection               and               a               couple               of               playmakers               emerge,               the               Gamecocks               could               be               a               factor               in               an               Eastern               division               that               looks               suspect               after               Florida.

If               South               Carolina               again               stumbles               down               the               stretch               and               finishes               5-7               or               6-6,               the               next               coach               to               leave               could               be               Spurrier.

Head               coach               Chris               Ault's               Pistol               offense               finished               third               in               the               nation               in               rushing               yards               per               game,               fifth               in               total               yards               and               tied               for               12th               in               scoring.

The               most               important               piece               is               junior               quarterback               Colin               Kaepernick,               the               2008               WAC               Offensive               Player               of               the               Year               who               will               be               in               his               third               year               as               a               starter.

The               dual-threat               Kaepernick               terrorized               the               WAC               with               2,849               passing               yards               and               22               touchdowns               last               year,               and               he               also               ran               for               1,130               yards               and               17               more               scores.
               Nevada               will               likely               add               a               few               wrinkles               to               the               Pistol               to               accommodate               a               pair               of               bruising               running               backs.

Vai               Taua,               the               defending               WAC               rushing               champion,               returns               for               his               junior               season.

And               the               return               of               Luke               Lippincott,               the               2007               conference               rushing               champ               who               was               granted               a               sixth               year               of               eligibility               this               spring               after               missing               most               of               2008,               will               add               to               the               WAC's               deepest               backfield.
               Nevada               wants               to               expand               its               passing               attack               this               year,               but               it               will               need               to               replace               its               top               two               pass-catchers               from               2008,               including               all-conference               selection               Marko               Mitchell.

But               the               team               has               enough               experience               returning,               including               three               of               five               starters               on               the               offensive               line,               and               enough               young               talent               at               receiver               to               maintain               its               position               as               one               of               the               nation's               elite               offenses.
               Nevada               has               played               in               a               bowl               game               for               four               consecutive               seasons,               but               fans               would               like               to               see               the               team               take               the               next               step               and               challenge               Boise               State               for               a               WAC               title.

Kaepernick               is               as               dynamic               a               player               as               there               is               in               the               West,               and               he               leads               an               offense               that               figures               to               be               among               the               most               potent               in               the               nation.

But               the               Wolf               Pack               defense,               which               allowed               an               average               of               45.5               points               in               its               six               losses               last               year               must               improve               dramatically               if               the               team               expects               to               have               a               chance               to               win               games               at               Notre               Dame,               at               home               against               Missouri,               and               the               season-finale               at               Boise               State.
               #49               East               Carolina               Pirates
               
               The               Pirates               didn't               always               sail               smooth               waters               last               season               but               in               the               end,               coach               Skip               Holtz's               team               collected               some               serious               booty               -               a               9-5               record               and               the               team's               first               conference               championship               in               32               years               -               and               did               it               by               plundering               and               pillaging               opposing               offenses.

East               Carolina               ranked               in               the               nation's               top               30               in               eight               different               statistical               categories,               including               scoring               defense               (21.1),               most               interceptions               (22)               and               turnovers               gained               (33).

The               Pirates               knocked               off               BCS               bad-boys               Virginia               Tech               and               West               Virginia               and               had               Kentucky               walking               the               plank               in               the               Liberty               Bowl               before               faltering.

And               with               a               young,               deep               roster,               Holtz               hasn't               just               built               these               Pirates               for               a               short               raid               but               for               a               long               voyage.
               #48               Arizona               State               Sun               Devils
               
               Dennis               Erickson's               honeymoon               at               Arizona               State               lasted               one               season.

Erickson               could               have               run               for               mayor               of               Tempe               after               leading               the               Sun               Devils               to               a               10-3               record               in               the               2007               season.

Fans               were               enthralled               not               only               with               ASU's               record               but               also               Erickson's               openness               and               sense               of               humor,               a               refreshing               contrast               to               predecessor               Dirk               Koetter.
               But               the               applause               died               down               when               the               Sun               Devils               finished               5-7               last               season               and               failed               to               go               to               a               bowl               game               for               the               first               time               since               2003.

Now,               there's               some               question               as               to               whether               Erickson,               62,               can               turn               ASU               into               a               legitimate               contender               in               the               Pac-10.
               To               be               fair,               it's               taken               Erickson               two               full               recruiting               classes               (he               had               a               late               start               on               the               2007               class)               to               accumulate               the               kind               of               speed               he               wants               on               the               roster.

That               should               be               particularly               evident               this               fall               on               the               defensive               side               of               the               ball,               where               ASU               has               the               kind               of               talent,               depth               and               athleticism               it               hasn't               had               in               years.

The               days               of               giving               up               54               points               to               Oregon,               as               the               Sun               Devils               did               last               year,               should               be               over.
               Unfortunately,               the               offense               isn't               as               far               along.

ASU               doesn't               have               an               elite               running               back               on               the               roster,               its               offensive               line               is               a               patchwork               outfit               that               hasn't               performed               well               in               two               years,               and               the               two               candidates               for               the               starting               quarterback               job               -               Danny               Sullivan               and               Samson               Szakacsy               -               have               never               started               a               game.
               A               year               from               now,               Erickson               might               be               able               to               claim               the               Sun               Devils               are               legitimate               Rose               Bowl               contenders.

This               season,               the               defense               will               have               to               carry               the               way               and               hope               the               offense               does               enough               to               get               ASU               back               to               a               bowl               game.
               #47               Auburn               Tigers
               
               The               sight               of               irate               fans               heckling               Auburn               athletic               director               Jay               Jacobs               at               the               airport               may               have               been               the               enduring               national               image               of               Auburn's               surprising               decision               to               replace               Tommy               Tuberville               with               Iowa               State               coach               Gene               Chizik               last               December.

But               what               those               outside               Lee               County,               Alabama,               might               not               know               is               that               in               the               ensuing               months,               Chizik               has               made               huge               strides               in               winning               over               Auburn's               fan               base.
               Armed               with               a               $2.5               million               budget,               Chizik               hired               an               impressive               staff               that               includes               all-star               offensive               coordinator               Gus               Malzahn               and               recruiting               hotshots               like               assistant               head               coach               Trooper               Taylor,               running               backs               coach               Curtis               Luper               and               safeties               coach               Tommy               Thigpen.

Arriving               only               weeks               before               National               Signing               Day,               Chizik               bulked               up               Auburn's               class               by               chasing               national               blue-chip               talent               that               Auburn               had               rarely               pursued               under               Tuberville.
               Chizik               can               win               over               the               remaining               fans               still               skeptical               of               his               5-19               record               at               Iowa               State               by               getting               off               to               a               good               start               in               2009,               but               it               won't               be               easy.

Auburn               has               many               of               the               same               personnel               deficiencies               that               contributed               to               an               offensive               collapse               and               5-7               finish               in               2008,               Tuberville's               10th               and               final               year               on               the               Plains.
               In               many               respects,               the               storylines               are               the               same               as               they               were               a               year               ago:               "Bold,               innovative               coordinator               tries               to               install               his               system               on               a               team               lacking               a               proven               quarterback               or               offensive               playmakers.

Always-reliable               defense               must               pull               an               extra               load               in               the               interim."
               That's               not               to               say               Auburn               can't               turn               things               around               this               year.

But               many               of               the               things               that               went               wrong               in               2008               will               have               to               go               right.

And               no               position               is               more               urgent               than               quarterback.

               Kevin               Sumlin's               first               season               with               the               Houston               Cougars               was               a               smash               hit.

With               quarterback               Case               Keenum               at               the               helm,               the               Cougars               had               one               of               the               nation's               most               potent               offenses               and               won               their               first               bowl               game               since               1980.

But               Sumlin               tends               to               look               at               what               the               Cougars               didn't               accomplish               -               the               West               Division               title               and               the               C-USA               championship.

Those               are               the               Cougars'               goals               this               season.

Divorce               isn't               imminent,               mind               you.

Bielema's               job               is               safe               as               long               as               Barry               Alvarez,               who               guided               the               program               for               16               seasons               and               tabbed               Bielema               in               2005               to               be               his               successor,               remains               the               director               of               athletics.

"Our               goal,"               Mangino               said,               "is               to               be               the               best               team               in               the               Big               12."               Back               then               it               was               easy               to               see               why               the               comment               made               a               few               folks               snicker.

Kansas               had               just               completed               its               sixth               straight               losing               season               and               had               appeared               in               only               eight               bowl               games               in               its               history.

Now               more               than               ever,               though,               Mangino               is               showing               that               it's               foolish               not               to               take               him               seriously.
               Kansas               might               not               be               the               best               team               in               the               conference               this               year,               but               the               Big               12               North?

That               notion               is               more               possible               than               laughable.
               Considering               where               the               program               was               just               a               short               time               ago,               a               berth               in               the               league               title               game               would               be               more               than               enough               to               appease               a               fan               base               that               has               long               yearned               for               success               in               something               other               than               basketball.

As               gratifying               as               last               season's               8-5               record               might               have               been,               2009               could               be               even               better.
               "It's               amazing               how               far               we've               come               in               the               last               few               years,"               quarterback               Todd               Reesing               says.

"We               don't               have               any               plans               to               stop               now."
               #43               Utah               Utes
               
               After               baffling               Alabama's               defense               with               a               no-huddle               scheme               in               the               early               stages               of               a               Sugar               Bowl               victory               that               completed               an               unbeaten               season,               Utah               will               try               to               keep               a               fast               tempo               going               this               season               with               a               new               leader.

Corbin               Louks,               who               was               used               mostly               as               a               runner               in               specialty               packages               the               past               two               seasons,               is               the               likely               replacement               for               quarterback               Brian               Johnson,               the               Mountain               West               Conference's               Offensive               Player               of               the               Year.

Junior               college               transfer               Terrance               Cain               was               "neck-and-neck"               with               Louks               after               spring               drills,               according               to               coach               Kyle               Whittingham.
               The               Utes               also               lost               their               top               three               receivers,               but               Whittingham               believes               a               group               that               features               David               Reed               and               Jereme               Brooks               will               be               "just               as               good               or               better."
               Utah's               passing               game               will               be               complemented               by               running               back               Matt               Asiata,               who               shared               the               position               last               season               and               still               gained               707               yards               and               scored               12               touchdowns.

Asiata               was               especially               effective               when               taking               a               direct               snap,               and               new               offensive               coordinator               Dave               Schramm,               formerly               Utah's               running               backs               coach,               is               sure               to               emphasize               that               formation               again.
               Up               front,               the               Utes               will               feature               left               tackle               Zane               Beadles               and               left               guard               Caleb               Schlauderaff.

In               spring               drills,               center               Zane               Taylor               moved               to               right               guard               to               shore               up               that               side               of               the               line.
               Utah               ranked               third               in               the               conference               in               total               offense               in               2008,               producing               400.9               yards               per               game.

The               Utes               were               opportunistic,               turning               those               yards               into               36.9               points               to               lead               the               league               and               rank               15th               nationally.
               Whittingham               has               some               experience               in               trying               to               follow               up               a               perfect               season.

He               took               over               for               Urban               Meyer               in               2005               -               when               Utah               was               coming               off               a               12-0               record               capped               off               by               a               Fiesta               Bowl               victory               -               and               lost               five               of               his               first               10               games               before               ending               up               7-5.

While               Whittingham               acknowledges               "a               lot               of               similarities"               to               the               situation               in               '05,               no               such               drop-off               is               anticipated               this               season,               even               with               the               loss               of               both               coordinators.

Whittingham               is               established               now,               and               the               Utes'               recruiting               success               has               maintained               a               high               level               of               talent.
               The               Utes'               Sept.

19               visit               to               Oregon               may               determine               whether               they               can               make               another               BCS               run.

Regardless,               they               will               challenge               for               another               Mountain               West               title.
               #42               Baylor               Bears
               
               Here's               a               scary               thought               for               Baylor               opponents               to               ponder:               Robert               Griffin               could               actually               be               better.

As               an               18-year-old               true               freshman               quarterback,               all               Griffin               did               was               pass               for               2,091               yards               and               15               touchdowns,               add               843               yards               and               13               TDs               rushing               and               transform               the               Bears               into               a               suddenly               competitive               team               that               took               UConn               and               Missouri               down               to               the               wire               and               had               seventh-ranked               Texas               Tech               on               the               ropes               with               a               two-touchdown               lead               in               the               second               half.
               And               now               he               has               a               year               of               experience               under               his               belt               and               another               eight               pounds               of               muscle               on               his               chiseled               6'3",               200-pound               frame.
               "With               every               step,               with               every               play,               with               every               day,               he               becomes               a               more               mature               product,"               second-year               coach               Art               Briles               says               of               Griffin,               who               earned               Freshman               All-America               and               Big               12               Freshman               of               the               Year               honors               last               season.

"He's               a               polished               quarterback               as               a               true               sophomore.

That's               where               he               is               right               now."
               But               while               Griffin               got               the               Bears               to               the               brink               last               year,               he               couldn't               get               them               over               the               hump.

They               finished               4-8               -               their               13th               consecutive               losing               season               since               joining               the               Big               12.
               "It's               not               about               talent               or               size.

We've               got               that.

We've               just               got               to               take               care               of               the               little               things,"               Griffin               says.

"The               close               games               we               lost               were               heartbreaking               because               we               were               right               there.

But               now               we've               got               to               push               a               little               harder               and               get               over               the               hump."
               The               difficult               part               is               doing               that               with               a               schedule               that               lists               eight               2008               bowl               teams,               including               non-conference               matchups               against               UConn               and               Wake               Forest               and               the               usual               murderers'               row               known               as               the               Big               12               South.
               "It's               not               like               we're               down               here               and               everybody               else               is               up               here,"               Briles               says               while               illustrating               the               gap               with               his               hands.

"We're               not               having               to               hitchhike               to               get               where               everybody               else               is.

We're               there.

We've               just               got               to               finish."
               #41               Southern               Miss               Golden               Eagles
               
               Larry               Fedora               said               it               would               take               time               for               the               spread               offense               to               take               root               at               Southern               Miss.

It               took               about               a               half               a               season.

Once               the               offensive               personnel               began               to               understand               the               new               concepts               and               principles,               the               Eagles               made               a               mad               dash               to               the               postseason,               winning               their               final               four               regular-season               games               before               defeating               Troy               in               the               New               Orleans               Bowl.

The               defense               also               shined               late.

The               Golden               Eagles               didn't               allow               more               than               100               rushing               yards               in               any               of               their               final               five               games               and               limited               four               of               their               final               five               opponents               to               fewer               than               260               total               yards.
               The               Golden               Eagles               should               be               able               to               sustain               the               momentum               generated               by               the               late               charge               behind               the               league's               most               exciting               offensive               player               (sophomore               receiver               DeAndre               Brown),               its               best               running               back               (senior               Damion               Fletcher),               a               promising               quarterback               (sophomore               Austin               Davis),               a               veteran               offensive               line,               and               a               traditionally               strong               defense.

Instead               of               battling               to               get               to               .500               in               2009,               the               Golden               Eagles               will               possess               the               talent               to               challenge               East               Carolina               for               the               Conference               USA               East               Division               title.
