Ault now has a field named after him and is still coaching. The Wolf Pack won seven games last season and should be a factor once again this season in the Mountain West. UNLV, on the other hand, has not been nearly as good, only winning two games a season ago.
The Hokies still managed seven wins and a bowl victory. The return of quarterback Logan Thomas should help immensely, particularly if he can have the season he did as a sophomore. Virginia, however, struggled mightily on the offensive side of the ball.
Look for that to continue this season, but there should be enough on defense to improve from the four wins it posted a season ago. The combination of the Wildcats and Jayhawks virtually even out as they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Kansas only won one game a season ago, and even though there is an influx of junior-college players coming in, it is hard to imagine this squad winning more than a couple of games.
Kansas State was excellent last season, playing in the Fiesta Bowl, but the loss of quarterback Collin Klein is going to hurt in Even though there is only one team from the state of Nebraska, it ranks so high due to the potential of the Cornhuskers this season.
Nebraska has some explosive players on the offensive side of the ball, and quarterback Taylor Martinez is returning for his senior season. This team should be a factor in the Big Ten and one of the top 25 teams in the country this season.
Wisconsin is also the only team in its state, but this is a squad that has a chance to contend for the Big Ten title in Even though Boise State has been one of the best teams in the country in recent years, Idaho is a little lower on the list than some might think because of the Vandals. The success of the Broncos has been offset by the Vandals, as Idaho only won one game last season.
It should be another top year and a double-digit win season for Boise State in and another double-digit loss season for Idaho. This is a state that might be much higher on the list a few years from now, but as it stands, Mississippi is just outside of the top Southern Miss went last season, so that does not help.
Needless to say, it couldn't get any worse. Ole Miss, on the other hand, is a team on the rise. The Rebels won seven games last season and put together quite a recruiting class. Mississippi State is another squad that appears headed in the right direction.
The Bulldogs won eight games last season under head coach Dan Mullen. Pittsburgh is likely to take a step back from the bowl team it featured in The Panthers lost a lot of skill position players and might be rebuilding in Temple did win four games last year, but the Owls also have some question marks surrounding the running game.
Penn State managed to win eight games last season, and it is hard to imagine the Nittany Lions duplicating that feat in Arkansas had a down year in but should return to bowl form as early as this season. What helps this state reach the top 20 is the fact that Arkansas State has been excellent in recent years, including The Red Wolves won 10 games a year ago and should be a factor once again in the Sun Belt.
They will both likely be middle of the pack in the Pac, but both programs are headed in the right direction. Many people might have expected this state to be higher, but with the exception of the Crimson Tide, this state is as bad as it gets.
A few years from now, if Auburn can recover it might be a different story, but as of right now, this is a state that has some teams with room to improve. The state of North Carolina is a combination of five teams that are average to slightly above average. No team from the state lost more than seven games last season, but no team won more than eight games. North Carolina should be solid once again in , but it is hard to imagine Duke winning as many games as it did last year. This state could be a lot higher if Indiana and Purdue ever get their acts together, but as it stands right now, it is just inside the top Notre Dame is certainly the class of this state, and Ball State is another team to keep an eye on in Notre Dame should be one of the top 20 teams in the country this season, and Purdue is also a squad that will be improved from a year ago.
The Cougars won eight games last season, but that total was topped by a Utah State team that went , led by quarterback Chuckie Keeton. Utah, meanwhile, has had a few down seasons, but the Utes should be a little better in if they can stay healthy. Georgia is likely to be one of the top teams in the country this season, and the Bulldogs should once again be a factor in the SEC.
The Panthers will be entering their first season playing with the big boys. This is a state that is without question on the rise.
