2014-15 Football Previews – (ACC) – Cardinals
Lots of change for Louisville this season as they enter the ACC and welcome back Bobby Petrino as coach. Under former coach Charlie Strong the Cardinals were beasts of the Big East but last year they fell short in their bid to capture an AAC title.
2014-15 Football Previews – (ACC) – Seminoles
It took a hell of a team to break the SEC’s stranglehold on the BCS trophy but that is what Florida State did last season. The Seminoles dominated on offense and defense last season and they look as good as any team of recent vintage in terms of the possibility of a repeat championship.
2014-15 Football Previews – (ACC) – Tigers
When the Tiger beat Georgia in an opening week thriller it looked like last season might be the year they break through on the promise they have been building over the years.
2014-15 Football Predictions – (SEC) – Rebels
The Ole Miss Rebels haven’t truly had a glory year since Eli Manning was calling the signals early in the last decade. Yet head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff has the personnel in 2014 for it to be memorable.
2014-15 Football Predictions – (SEC) – Aggies
I would have said that Florida’s Tim Tebow was the most celebrated college football player in a generation – that is, until Johnny Football came along.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Gators
The University of Florida, Gators fans and the team’s boosters are not accustomed to losing. Clearly, last year’s 4-8 effort went over like a lead zeppelin in Gainesville.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Gamecocks
It took a while for the publicized move to pay dividends, but having head coach Steve Spurrier – formerly of Florida Gators fame – patrolling the sideline for South Carolina has been fruitful.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Bulldogs
Similar to the 2014 South Carolina team, Georgia is in a situation where its starting QB for 2014 has been caddying for the past three years, patiently awaiting his chance for the spotlight.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Commodores
For years, when college pigskin fans thought of NCAA ball in the state of Tennessee, Vanderbilt’s program would not come to mind. Yet, the Commodores have undergone a remarkable ascension in the SEC under former head coach James Franklin.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Terrapins
Randy Edsall’s Maryland Terrapins are newcomers in the Big Ten Conference this year. Along with Rutgers, Maryland is taking a significant step up in competition this year.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Scarlet Knights
Rutgers makes the big jump from the AAC to the Big Ten this year. While no one can say the Big Ten is a strong football conference right now, it is a much better conference than the extremely weak AAC. The Scarlet Knights are likely to have their hands full this year.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Pac-12) – Bruins
Entering the 2014-15 college football season, it’s clear that the Pac-12 South Division is going to be top-heavy as it pertains to the top-tier competition.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Pac-12) – Cardinal
The Stanford Cardinal are the defending Pac-12 champions, and when looking at the north division of the conference, there’s really only one team standing in their way of making it back to the Pac-12 championship game in 2014.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Fighting Illini
Illinois put their faith in Tim Beckman a couple years ago, and so far it hasn’t worked out. Tim Beckman is definitely on the hot seat now. If Illinois doesn’t win at least six games this year to become bowl eligible, I would expect Beckman to be on his way out of Champaign.
2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Boilermakers
Purdue had the worst season in its 126 year football career last year. The Boilermakers went 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the Big Ten Conference. Purdue was one of the worst teams the Big Ten has ever seen.
