With the 2010-2011 College Football season close on the horizon and team depth charts getting more and more season-ready, we'll be breaking down each conference and what the outlook will be.

In the Big East, there are at least four teams that have a legit chance to win the conference, with the two usual powerhouses from the last five years taking the cake as usual.

It's no easy task handicapping the Heisman trophy winners. In 2007, Tebow was a first year starting sophomore who wasn't viewed as a legit passer to start the year, and he went on to win the award.

With a stacked returning group, Tebow was the clear cut favorite to win the award in 2008. But after a miraculous 50 touchdown season, Sam Bradford won one of the closest Heisman voting years in recent fan memory.

And in 2009, with the three top returning vote-getters all returning for what would be their final season as college football greats, a running back from a school without a Heisman trophy winner in Mark Ingram won it.

Some trends? The last three winners were all sophomores, and all played in a national championship at some point in their college careers. The 2009 winner is back, but a host of quarterbacks and running backs will attempt to immortalize there name.

Just about every season, there are some huge job openings that are once in a lifetime opportunities. And for every big name job, a coach had to not take advantage of that chance.

So for every season that a big name program has a sub-par record, the seat gets hotter and hotter. Here are a few names that are feeling the heat and need a good season to safe their job.

It’s a bit early to declare who are the future winners and BCS reps for the conferences across the country.

You’ll likely find a few regulars on this lists that the consensus would likely agree with. However, there are a few surprises from emerging teams that have a chance to not only win the conference, but have a chance at a BCS title.

Although I really dislike the idea of a Top 25 ranking for anything other than enjoyment, that’s an argument for another day.

This list’s ranking is based on the talent level of each team, and not where they are projected to finish at the end of the season.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide

-With the Heisman winner and a Heisman contending back-up, an undefeated quarterback, and a restocked defense, you can’t argue.

2. Texas Longhorns
-Even with Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley gone, the defense is still stocked and still have talented options on offense.

3. Boise State Broncos
-They only lost four seniors from last year’s team, and have a Heisman contending quarterback and an easy schedule. National Championship, dare I say?

4. Florida Gators
-With Tebow gone, they’re no locks to be a 10 win team, but with NFL level speed, depth, and overall talent, they won’t falter that much.

According to CollegeFootballTalk.com, Wisconsin A.D. Barry Alverez released some interesting insight on the Big Ten expansion talks.

Alverez first off dismissed Texas (as well as Notre Dame) as possiblilities for the expansion. Though that could change as time passes, Texas was not a part of the fifteen team initial list to be considered over the next 12-18 months.

While the final standings would indicate a lackluster, surprise-less season for the most part, the Heisman Trophy was anything but predictable. The top three from last season all returned, so it looked like a 3 way race form season’s start. But, after Sam Bradford got injured early on, the Gators didn’t look as dominating as usual, and Colt McCoy had an up and down season, especially down vs. Nebraska, things have been shaken up since the pre-season.

The BCS is a very imperfect system, that’s a definite. However, as much as every fan, including Barrack Obama, wants a playoff system, it won’t happen anytime soon. So, if we can tweak the system to give every team a fair shake as this process further evolves, at least we can remain intrigued with the college football season and the post-season play.

Not everyone of these ideas can all be influenced at the same time. However, hopefully some of these (especially the Top 3) concepts can find there way into the BCS system and help to put the best teams in their best possible fit by season's end.

With the five BCS games and 29 seemingly irrelevant bowl games the attention on college football now that the always exciting regular season is complete, I've compiled what I believe is a very accurate projection for the 2009-2010 bowl season. While I'd rather see TCU in the title game (see my other articles), I've kept my opinions and brash predictions out of this article.
