2009 SEC (East) Preview
The SEC has long been considered the toughest conference in football and rightfully so. It has produced the last three National Champions, Florida twice with LSU sandwiched in-between. The SEC leads all conferences in all-time titles with 17 and there will be teams looking to add to that this season and with legitimate shots in doing so. The leader ... read more

2009 Big XII (North) Conference Preview
As strong as the Big XII South is, the North is just the opposite. There are good teams within the division no doubt but it is unlikely that any team will be able to challenge the top teams in the South as the top team in this division would finish either fourth or fifth in the other division. It looks as though it may be a two-team race in the North ... read more

2009 Big Ten Conference Preview
Many say that the Big Ten was in a down year in 2008 considering only five teams finished the season ranked in the top 50 in the national power ratings. Sure that is an argument but the rebuttal to that is that it was a very balanced conference full of parity. Five teams did finish with nine wins and no team registered fewer than three so that is a ... read more

2009 ACC Coastal Preview
Like the ACC Atlantic, the ACC Coastal Division was up for grabs heading into the final weeks of the regular season. Virginia Tech, thanks to a favorable backend schedule won its final two games against Duke and Virginia to claim the division and then took out Boston College in the ACC Championship for a second straight season and thus the overall ... read more

2009 ACC Atlantic Preview
Last year the ACC Atlantic was as congested as Boston rush hour with all six teams finishing with a game of each other. Boston College ended up in the ACC Championship where it lost to Virginia Tech and eventually lost its first bowl game in nine years. The Eagles may take a fall this season but it looks as though it might be another tight race as ... read more

2009 Pac Ten Conference Preview
There have been a lot of talented teams coming out of the Pac Ten in recent years but they get no notoriety because USC is always taking center stage. The Trojans have won seven consecutive Pac Ten Championships and that says a lot for the program considering all of the good teams that have come out that conference. This year it will be no different ... read more

2009 Big East Conference Preview
The Big East Conference used to be one of the top leagues in the nation with national powerhouses including Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Boston College and Miami, Florida. The latter three defected to the ACC while the Orange have turned into one of the worst teams in the country. As far as a BCS conference, the Big East is clearly the weakest of the six ... read more

2009 Conference USA (West) Preview
Conference USA has seen five ten-win teams over the least three seasons and there are five teams with the potential to win double-digit games this year. Three of those come out of the West Division which is slightly stronger than its counterpart from the East. Last year it was Tulsa that won the division title with a 7-1 record which earned a trip ... read more

2009 Conference USA (East) Preview
Conference USA is another non-BCS conference that does not get the respect it deserves. There have been five ten-win teams over the least three seasons and there are five teams with the potential to win double-digit games this year. Not all five can do it but there is a lot of power at the top. In the East Division, the title will most likely come ... read more

2009 Mid American Conference Preview (East)
The MAC is a conference that parity reigns supreme. Sure there are the perennial doormats but even those teams make a surprise run or at the very least, pull off an upset or two along the way. Starting with the MAC East, it wasn’t too long ago that Miami was always near the top and fighting it out for the division championship. That is no longer ... read more

2009 Western Athletic Conference Preview
Like the Mountain West Conference, the WAC does not get a whole lot of respect. From top to bottom, it is far from a strong conference but it has had its share of top caliber teams in recent years. In 2006, Boise St. went undefeated culminating with a historic and unforgettable win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. In 2007, it was Hawaii that crashed ... read more

2009 Mountain West Conference Preview
It is tough for a non-BCS conference to compete with the big boys but don’t tell that to the Mountain West Conference. It can in fact compete but it just does not get the respect it deserves. Utah was the only undefeated team in the nation last season following a shellacking of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl but Florida was given the National Championship. ... read more

2009 Sun Belt Conference Preview
The Sun Belt Conference has always been the weakest of the 11 conference across the nation and that will be the case again this season. However, it could be one of the more improved in the country as many teams bring back significant returning starters. This may not equate to more non-conference wins but the parity could mean a chance for teams to ... read more

AT&T National Preview
The tour heads to Bethesda, MD and Congressional Country Club for the AT&T National which is hosted by none other than Tiger Woods. Tiger missed his own tournament last season because of the knee surgery that sidelined him for nearly 10 months. He is back and is the big favorite this week in what is a healthy but not overly impressive field. Only ... read more
