Utah State Aggies
WAC

 
Utah State has not made a bowl since 1997. They have been to two bowl games since 1961. They have won just one bowl game ever. This is a big accomplishment for Coach Gary Andersen and the Aggies. The momentum is heading in the right direction and maybe this could be a stepping stone to bigger things. ...

TCU Horned Frogs
Mountain West

 
TCU is leaving the Mountain West with a conference title and some may be happy to see them go. The Horned Frogs knocked off BCS hopeful Boise State on November 12th and that put an end to any hope the Broncos had of getting to the BCS National Championship game. And this was a TCU team that had ...

Pittsburgh Panthers
Big East

 
Pittsburgh did not have the big season they had hoped for under first year coach Todd Graham. Coach Graham orchestrated some high octane offenses during his time at Tulsa, but it has taken time for the Panthers to adapt to the style of play. A variety of injuries have not helped either. The ...

Nevada Wolf Pack
WAC

 
After a tough start to the season, Nevada has pulled together and had a pretty good year. Coach Chris Ault continues to do great things in the biggest little city and this has been one of his better coaching jobs during his 27 year tenure. The Wolf Pack were expected to be right in the middle of a wide ...

LSU Tigers
Southeastern Conference

 
Les Miles, Tyrann Mathieu and the Louisiana State Tigers are the high definition television of FBS football. They are crisper, more efficient, cleaner looking and just plain better than everything else. Sure there are 3D televisions in the Big 12 and Pac 12 that have more flash but less ...

Iowa State Cyclones
Big 12

 
Few expected much out of Iowa State this year. But if you look at the Cyclones schedule, they really did not have a bad loss the entire year. They lost to Texas, Baylor, Missouri, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Kansas State. And it is not like all the wins were against inferior opponents. Iowa State ...

Houston Cougars
Conference USA

 
For years, Houston has had incredible offenses.  Andre Ware, David Klingler, and Kevin Kolb have all been prior beneficiaries of the Cougar offense.  After last year’s disappointing 5-7 season, it’s Case Keenum’s turn running the high-flying show.  At face value, it would appear that ...

Cincinnati Bearcats
Big East

 
Cincinnati rebounded very nicely following a disappointing 2010 campaign. The Big East may not have had any great teams, but the Bearcats had a consistent season during Coach Butch Jones’ second year at the helm. This Cincinnati squad has faced some adversity and had a string of come from behind ...

Baylor Bears
Big 12

 
A shocking season opening win against TCU set the stage for an impressive Baylor team to jump onto the national scene. Led by quarterback Robert Griffin III, Baylor was able to liven the football scene in Waco, Texas. Bears fans stormed the field at Floyd Casey Stadium twice this season, once against TCU and ...

Utah Utes
Pacific-12 Conference

 
The lone standout for the Utah Utes has been running back John White IV. White ranks as the 11th most effective running back in the FBS with 117 yards per game and 14 touchdowns. In six games this season he rushed for over 150 yards, and twice hovered near 200. In five of the Utes 12 games, ...
