BCS and FCS teams included.

Clemson
Sure wins: The Citadel, N.C. State, S.C. State, Georgia Tech, Duke, at Virginia.
Sure losses: None.
Probable wins: Maryland, at Wake Forest, Boston College.
Probable losses: None.
Record: 12-0 going into the ACC Championship Game in Tampa against North Carolina or Virginia Tech.

South Carolina
Sure wins: Wofford, Alabama-Birmingham.
Sure losses: Georgia, at Florida.
Probable wins: N.C. State, at Vanderbilt, Arkansas.
Probable losses: LSU.
Record: 7-5 going into preparations for a bowl victory.

The Citadel
This looks like Kevin Higgins' best Citadel team, but improvement in the rough-and-tumble Southern Conference doesn't always show up in the won-loss record. Biggest shoes to fill? Radio voice Robbie Robinson's.
Record: 6-6.

Charleston Southern
No quibble with Tribble Reese, the former Clemson quarterback. But the schedule, starting at Miami on Aug. 28, is tougher than ever.
Record: 4-8.

S.C. State
The Bulldogs, featuring star running back Will Ford and former Burke High School wide receiver Tre Young, open at Central Florida and play at Clemson but should win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title.
Record: 9-3 on the way to the FCS playoffs.

Furman
New starting quarterback Jordan Sorrells, a junior lefty, is the son of offensive coordinator Tim Sorrells.
Record: 7-5.

Wofford
The Terriers, not three-time defending national champ Appalachian State, won the 2007 Southern Conference title. Now comes rebuilding.
Record: 6-5.

Coastal Carolina
Back in the Big South Conference title hunt. That first step, at Penn State, is a doozy.
Record: 10-2 and maybe an FCS playoff spot.

Big South's going to Liberty again.

Big South's going to Liberty again.

Are you talking about the Conference title? It's way to early to even guess, but the favorites are Liberty and Coastal Carolina. Like a homer, I hope it's CCU, and I think it honestly could be.
