Clemson went 9-4 last year, but that record would be an extreme disappointment for this darkhorse national title contender. If there’s any year that Coach Bowden leads his program to an ACC title, this has to be the year. Clemson has several potential stars on defense including safety Michael Hamlin and defensive ends Ricky Sapp and DaQuan Bowers. The offense is stockpiled with talent at the skill positions as well.
On paper, Clemson seems to be the class of the ACC. In fact, if the Tigers have a mediocre season, things may get a little uneasy in Death Valley.
Are Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree able to duplicate their gaudy numbers from last year?
If Texas Tech wants to win the Big 12 this year, they may just have to.
Will Notre Dame make a bowl game this year?
As said earlier, Charlie Weis had better hope his team can make it over the hump and return to a bowl game or his job may be in serious jeopardy. The top 10 recruiting classes that Weis has accumulated should finally make their impact in the next year or two. These recruits must especially emerge on the offensive and defensive fronts, where the Fighting Irish were clearly overmatched in the majority of their contests. A somewhat competent running game would also help.
As far as their bowl chances go, Notre Dame has a good shot at going to some kind of bowl next year, but they must beat up-and-coming programs like North Carolina or Pittsburgh or another 3-9 season may be on the horizon.
How will new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp motivate an underachieving Texas defense?
I don’t have any specific reasoning or logic on how this will occur, but wouldn’t you be fired up if your coach got pumped up like this?
Who will assume the role of Glenn Dorsey as the preeminent defensive player in college football?
