Boise State May Be Headed for Another Undefeated Season [15]

Will the Broncos finally get to the BCS Championship Game?

Boise State [28] won its third straight opener over a BCS team, and the Broncos did it in impressive fashion with their 35-21 dismantling of Georgia. Many college football [29] fans and media have questioned Boise’s credentials over the last few seasons when it came to the BCS Championship Game. Could the Broncos handle the attrition of a big-time conference?

By Jake Veyhl

Scan the list of the 2001 NFL Draft first-round selections below and you’ll probably recognize quite a few of the biggest names from college football [29]. There are future Hall of Famers, franchise staples who are still with the organizations that drafted them and guys who have bounced around the league. And of course, there are a few busts.

They're the teams within the team - those cohesive little units bound together by their shared responsibilities within the larger team context.

Whether it's the offensive linemen firing off time after time into those familiar blocking sleds, or the defensive linemen drilling repeatedly on how to shed blockers, or the defensive backs breaking on ball after ball - these teams in miniature hone their tasks on the practice field until those tasks become second nature.

Mark Richt [87]

The pressure is on Paul Wulff, Mark Richt and Dennis Erickson to win big in 2011.

The coaching carousel is usually one of the most intriguing elements of college football [29]'s regular season and has been in full effect since May with the departure of Jim Tressel at Ohio State and Bill Stewart at West Virginia.

Which coach will be the first to get fired? Athlon Sports ranks 10 coaches on the hot seat, along with a few others who are getting warm.

Trent Richardson looks to lead Alabama back to the national title.

by Steven Lassan (@AthlonSteven [32] on Twitter)

Can anyone knock the SEC from the top spot?

With the start of the 2011 just around the corner, it's time to revisit the conference power rankings. The SEC claims the last five national titles and should reign surpreme once again this year. However, the Big 12 should be in great shape this year, especially with three teams picked in the top 12 of Athlon's 2011 Top 25 [90].

If you are a free agent coach, which programs are the most attractive jobs in the nation?

We have ranked every college football [90] program in the country, based on the attractiveness of the position from a coaching perspective. We considered many factors — tradition, facilities, location, money — but in the end, we simply asked ourselves the following question: Where would we want to coach? Check back tomorrow for rankings 50-1.

(Note: Current or impending NCAA sanctions were not a factor in these rankings.)
