Football cascades across the seasons from the hot tail end of August to the blizzards of late November. And O O ON AND OFF THE FIELD. just as a season can begin so hot and end in such chillaciousness, there is that amazing element to how things progress on the field.

Formerly the Big East, the AAC retains six teams from last year and adds four newcomers from Conference USA. Five teams in the new AAC played in bowl games last year, going 4-1 overall. This season should be an exciting one, as the new AAC will provide both new and familiar rivalries to enjoy. Cincinnati (10-3,5-2 Big East) Set your soul free. The all-new CLA. Starting at ®29,90i The Bearcats begin the season with a new head coach in Tommy Tuberville, and look to build on their successful 2012 season that ended with a 48-34 victory over Duke in the Belk Bowl. Unofficial Theme Song: "Cincinnati Kid" by Prince Buster Connecticut (5-7,2-6 Big East) After two straight 5-7 seasons, head coach Paul Pasqualoni looks to get his Huskies over the hump and back to the winning ways that saw Connecticut reach five bowl games between 2004 and 2010. Unofficial Theme Song: "Paul Revere" by Beastie Boys Houston (5-7,4-4 ConFerence USA) The Cougars are just two years removed from a 13-1 season, but they will need to see vast improvements on the defensive side of the ball — after giving up 36 points per game last year — if they want to make an impact in the AAC in 2013. Unofficial Theme Song: "Hurt So Good" by John “Cougar" Mellencamp Louisviile (11-2,5-2 Big East) Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looks to continue his success, as many peg him a preseason favorite for the Heisman Trophy after leading the Cardinals to a 33-23 victory over the heavily favored Florida Gators in last year's Allstate Sugar Bowl. Unofficial Theme Song: “Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel Memphis (4-8,4-4 ConFerence USA) South Florida (3-9,1-6 Big East) The Tigers are hoping a change of scenery in the AAC can help continue pushing the team in the right direction, after jumping from two wins in 2011 to four in 2012 under first year head coach Justin Fuente.

New head coach Matt Rhule gets his first crack at leading a team, after previously spending six years as an assistant coach for Temple from 2006-2011. Upgrading the passing game will be crucial, as the Owls gained only 121 yards/ game by air in 2012.

ACC In 2012, Florida State took home the ACC title, their first since 2005 and twelfth overall. The Seminoles will look to defend their title against foes both old and new, as Syracuse and Pittsburgh join the ACC this season from the now-defunct Big East. Look for Clemson to make a strong run at the ACC title and a BCS berth in 2013. ATLANTIC DIVISION COASTAL DIVISION Boston College (2-10.1-7 ACC) Dui^e ■ (6-7,3-5 ACC) The 2012 season saw Boston College bottom out, and they now put the rebuilding process in the hands of former Temple head coach Steve Addazio to dig themselves out of the Despite finishing under ,5(X), the 2012 season was an overall success, as Duke made a bowl for the first time since 1994.

Unofficial Theme Song: "Higher Power" by Boston Unofficial Theme Song: "Dukes Up" by Modest Mouse Clemson (11-2,7-1 ACC) With QB Tajh Boyd back for his senior year, after throwing for over 3,800 yards and 36 TDs in 2012, many are predicting Boyd to be a legit Heisman Trophy candidate, and for Clemson to be the front runner to win the ACC heading in to the season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor C«3rgiaTech (7-7,5-3 ACC) Georgia Tech finished the 2012 season on a high note, beating DSC 21-7 in the Hyundai Sun Bowl. The option-based offense should continue to grind out yards, but it is the defense under new assistant Ted Roof that will be key to the Yellow Jackets success in 2013. Florida State (12-2.7-1 ACC) Unofficial Theme Song: "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake After winning the ACC for the first time since 2005, the Seminoles bring in another top 10 recruiting class as they look to make a national title run. Their biggest question mark heading in to the year will be who takes over behind center now that EJ Manuel has graduated. North Carolina (8-4,5-3 ACC) Unofficial Theme Song: "Seminole Bingo" by Warren Zevon The Tar Heels faced NCAA violations in 2012, but enjoyed success under first year coach Larry Fedora that should only continue in year two, as senior QB Bryn Renner (3356 yards, 28 TD) leads a potent offense. Unofficial Theme Song: "Tar-Heel Boy" by The Magnetic Fields Maryland (4-8,2-6 ACC) Sophomore wide receiver Stefon Diggs' {54 catches, 848 yards) stock should only continue to rise this year as Maryland's quarterbacks are on the mend after being riddled with injuries lastyear. Unofficial Theme Song: "Shell Shock" by Gym Class Heroes Pittsburgh (6-7,3-4 Big East) Pittsburgh held teams last year to only 330.54 yards/game, 17th best in the nation, and that strength should continue with the move to the ACC, as DT Aaron Donald and safety Jason Hendricks, both seniors, are potential All-conference players. Unofficial Theme Song: "Black Panther" by Crystal Castles North Carolina State (7-6.4-4 ACC) Dave Doeren takes over the Wolfpack after a successful run at Northern Illinois and will look to emphasize cutting down turnovers, as NC State was 113th in the country in that department last season.

With coach Doug Marrone jumping to the NFL, and senior QB Ryan Nassib graduating, there are a lot of question marks for Syracuse as they enter the tougher competition of the ACC. Unofficial Theme Song: "Orange Crush" byR.E.M. University oF Miami (7-5,5-3 ACC) NCAA investigations hang over the head of the Hurricanes' postseason chances, but head coach Al Golden has his team heading in the right direction, especially on offense, where breakout seasons by QB Stephen Morris and RB Duke Johnson are likely in. 2013. Unofficial Theme Song: "Behold the Hurricane" by The Horrible Crowes A^rginia (4-8,2-6 ACC) A six game losii^ streak last year caused a forgetful season in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers hope new offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild can breath some fresh life into a running game that ranked 96th in the nation last year. Unofficial Theme Song: "Cavalier Eternal" byAgainst Me! Wahe Forest (5-7.3-5 ACC) The Demon Deacons return most of their starters on offense and defense from a 2012 that just missed a bowl game, and if they can improve on their 117th ranking in total offense they should find themselves breaking above the .500 mark. Unofficial Theme Song: "Forest" by System of a Down Virginia Tech (7-6,4-4 ACC) The Hokies won their 2012 bowl game, but a 7-6 record Is a disappoint for a team that looks to vie for the ACC title every season. On offense, QB Logan Thomas' potential is limitless, but he has yet to put it together on the field. Defense should be a strength for Virginia Tech, as eight starters return, including five All-ACC players from a year ago. Unofficial Theme Song: "Birds of a Feather" by Joe South I Big Ten CDirZI I DP 1^* I I HAIIV CZ GALLERY* The Wisconsin Badgers were Big THIS SEASON’S HARDEST-WORKING LINEUP Ten champions for the third straight season in 2012, but only had the chance to play for the championship because of violations by Ohio State and Penn State. Versatile quarterbacks like Ohio State's Braxton is available at Lowe’s Miller and Nebraska's Taylor Martinez will dominate the Big Ten in 2013, and could find themselves clashing at Lucas Oil Stadium come December. Nebrasha QB Taylor Martinez LEGENDS DIVISION Iowa (4-8,2-6 Big Ten) COOK MULTIPLE DISHES AT MULTIPLE TEMPERATURES The Hawkeyes look to shake off a disappointing second half of the 2012 year that led to them missing a bowl game for the first time since the 2008 season. Returning nine starters on defense should help out that process greatly. Unofficial Theme Song: "Hawkeye" by The Alan Parsons Project Michigan (8-5.6-2 Big Ten) Denard Robinson may finally be gone, but Michigan should continue its success under coach Brady Hoke with QB Devin Gardner firmly in place. The nation's #1 running back recruit, Derrick Green, should make an immediate impact in Ann Arbor. 30” Electric Freestanding Range with Symmetry™ Double Ovens Unofficial Theme Song: "Especially in Michigan" by Red Hot Chili Peppers FGEF306TM F/W/B I lEfia itn^viNG Michigan State (7-6,3-5 Big Ten) Unofficial Theme Song: "Come On! Feel the lllinoise!" by Sufjan Stevens Indiana (4-8,2-6 Big Ten) The Hoosiers hope that returning 21 of 22 starters from last season, including senior RB Stephen Houston (749 yards, 12 TD in 2012), can help bring the consistency needed to reach a bowl game for the first time since 2007. Unofficial Theme Song: "Bloomington" by Old 97s Ohio State (12-0,8-0 Big Ten) A perfect season a year ago was dampened only by the fact that the Buckeyes could not participate in postseason play. This year. Urban Meyer's crew will be loaded again, with QB Braxton Miller a threat to lead the team to the national championship game. Minnesota (6-7,2-6 Big Ten) Penn State (8-4,6-2 Big Ten) Unofficial Theme Song: "Dig" by Incubus Unofficial Theme Song: "Carry Me Ohio" by Sun Kil Moon Coach Bill O'Brien deserved a lot of credit last year for taking over Penn State and leading them to a winning season amid national scrutiny. The Nittany Lions still have a long way before NCAA sanctions allow them to be back at full strength, but another winning season in 2013 is certainly plausible. Unofficial Theme Song: "Gold Lion" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs Nebrasha (10-4,7-1 Big Ten) Nebraska had arguably the best offense in the Big 10 last year, and that will likely be the case again in 2013, with senior QB Taylor, Martinez (2871 yards, 23 TD) and WR Kenny Bell (50 catches, 863 yards, 8 TD) leading the way.

Northwestern (10-3,5-3 Big Ten) Unofficial Theme Song: "Boilermaker" by The Jesus Lizard The 2012 season was a banner year for Northwestern football, as the program won their first bowl game since 1949 with a 34-20 win over Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl. With a large number of starters back in the fold, 2013 should continue the trajectory upwards for the Wildcats as they eye the Big 10 title.

March 2012. v-' 2013 Lowe’s Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Lowe's, the gable design and Never Stop Improving are trademarks of LF, LLC, 2012 was certainly a low point for the Illinois program, but things can seemingly only get better for coach Tim Beckman's squad, especially on offense, where new coordinator Bill Cubit looks to improve a squad that finished last in the Big 10 in yards gained a season ago. Don't let the 7-6 record fool you, Michigan State is a dangerous, veteran team, who lost five games last year by four points or fewer. If the Spartans can find a solid replacement for RB Le'veon Bell, a stark improvement should be seen in their 2013 record. Unofficial Theme Song: "Spartan " by Five Iron Frenzy Minnesota lost a heartbreaker 34-31 against Texas Tech in the 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl, but there are reasons to be optimistic if you are a Gophers fan, the biggest one being the nine starters that are returning on offense, including ail five offensive linemen. . LEADERS DIVISION Illinois (2-10.0-8 Big Ten) Another year, another Big 10 championship. The Badgers will have a new leader in 2013 in head coach Gary Andersen, but should continue to produce similar results, as they excel year in and year out by rushing the ball effectively and playing tenacious defense. Unofficial Theme Song: "Wisconsin" by Whitehorse The Big 12 Last year, the Big 12 saw nine of its 10 teams reach a bowl game and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein finish third in Heisman voting. This looks to be a rebuilding year for many Big 12 teams, but Texas leads the nation with 19 returning starters, including junior quarterback David Ash, and TCU is not far behind with 15. Baylor (8-5.4-5 Big 12) Baylor was the fourth highest scoring team in 2012 with 44.5 points per game, and their offense should continue to shine with RBs Glasco Martin and Lache Seastrunk both potential 1,000 yard backs and Bryce Petty ready to step up and be the next star QB for the Bears. Unofficial Theme Song: "Cheerleader" by Grizzly Bear Iowa State (6-7,3-6 Big 12) Head coach Paul Rhoads has led the Cyclones to bowl games in three of his four seasons since taking over in 2009. Sam B. Richardson will have full reign as QB in 2013, after stepping in and throwing eight TD and only one INT in three games last season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Middle Cyclone" by Neko Case Kansas (1-11,0-9 Big 12) The Jayhawks 2012 season was a low point for the program, but better times are on the horizon, as five of their losses came in one possession games. QB Jake Heaps, now eligible after transferring from BYU the year prior, will bring a spark to an offense that should see great improvement in 2013. Unofficial Theme Song- "Waiting for the Sun" by The Jayhawks KansasState (n-2,8-1Big12) Kansas State nearly ran the table in 2012 behind a magical season from senior QB Collin Klein. A decline is likely with Klein gone, but the Wildcats should still be a factor in the Big 12 with RB John Hubert (947 yards, 15 TD) a potential conference Player of the Year candidate. Unofficial Theme Song: "Play The Game Tonight" by Kansas Oklahoma (10-3,8-1 Big 12) The 2013 Sooners are likely to play with a chip on their shoulder after narrowly missing winning the Big 12 title outright last season. QB Blake Bell, who has been known for his bulldozing running abilities (24 rushing TDs in first two seasons), will need to show off his arm now to keep up the passing prowess that Landry Jones was known for during his days in Norman. "Photo by Baylor Athletics-. Baylor RB Glasco Martin Texas (9-4,5-4 Big 12) Texas returns almost all of their starters on both sides of the ball from last year and, because of that veteran leadership, Mack Brown's squad should be right at the top of the Big 12 in 2013. QB David Ash is still only a junior, and should be in line for a breakout season, while safety Kenny Vaccarro will lead a defense looking to return to greatness after a mediocre 2012 season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Flava in Ya Ear" by Craig Mack z Texas Christian (7-6.4-5 Big 12) , TCU's first season in the Big 12 was a bit shaky at times, but the team did make a bowl game (a 17-16 heartbreaking loss against Michigan State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl) and led the Big 12 in overall defense, a category they should be strong in again in 2013, with nine starters returning. Unofficial Theme Song: "Peace Frog" by The Doors Texas Tech (8-5,4-5 Big 12) Former Red Raider star Kliff Kingsbury takes over the helm at his alma mater in 2013, and looks to improve an already impressive offensive attack, and, more importantly, bring back some of the excitement that makes Texas Tech football so fun to watch when they are firing on all cylinders. Unofficial Theme Song: "Say This Sooner" by The Almost Unofficial Theme Song: "The Red" by Chevelle Oklahoma State (8-5,5-4 Big 12) West Virginia (7-6,4-5 Big 12) The Cowboys won eight games in a rebuilding year, including a 58-14 beatdown of Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. OK State may not have a clear cut starter at quarterback, but whoever it is will have fun throwing to WR Josh Stewart, who caught 101 passes last year. Unofficial Theme Song: "Midnight Cowboy" by Faith No More At times in 2012, no team was more exciting to watch than West Virginia, with an offense that could score at will, led by QB Geno Smith and WRs Steadman Bailey and Tavon Austin. However, they are all off to the NFL, and it could be a long season for the Mountaineers if they don't find replacements quickly, as well as improve a defense that gave up 38.1 points per game (117th overall). Unofficial Theme Song: "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction CONFERENCE USA Conference USA gets a major facelift in 2013, with six new teams joining play in an always competitive conference. Louisiana Tech finished last year 9-3 and will likely play with a chip on their shoulder after not being invited to a bowl game. EAST DIVISION East Carolina (8-5.7-lC-USA) The Pirates lost a shootout to Louisiana-Lafayette in the 2012 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, but there is a lot to look forward to heading in to 2013, with the offensive trio of QB Shane Carden (3,113 passing yards, 23 TD), RB Vintavious Cooper (1,049 rushing yards, 7 TD), and WR Justin Hardy (88 catches, 11 TD) all back in the fold. Unofficial Theme Song: "Pirate Radio" by The Toasters Florida International (3-9,2-6 Sun Belt) FID has brought in Ron Turner to take over as head coach, after spending the last eight years in the NFL He inherits a team with some offensive promise, but a lot of time will need to be focused on shoring up a defense that gave up nearly 32 points per game. Unofficial Theme Song: "Wild International" by One Day as a Lion Florida Atlantic (3-9,2-6 Sun Belt) The Owls are hoping that a change of scenery can improve a team that struggled on both sides of the ball in 2012. One bright spot to watch will be the play of WR William Dukes (63 catches, 979 yards, 4 TD as a sophomore in 2012). Unofficial Theme Song: "Night Owls" by Bridge and Tunnel Marshall (5-7.4-AC-USA) Despite the 5-7 overall record, Marshall's offense was first in the nation in passing yards/game last year (365.1.) The junior duo of QB Rakeem Cato (4201 yards, 37 TD) and WR Tommy Shuler (110 catches, 1138 yards, 6TD) could be one of the most prolific in the nation, and if the Thundering Herd can play any defense, they should be Conference-USA contenders. Unofficial Theme Song: "Some Loud Thunder" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Middle Tennessee (8-4,6-2 Sun Belt) The Blue Raiders have something to prove as they enter Conference-USA, after not being invited to a bowl game despite finishing second in the Sun Belt in 2012. Jordan Parker's role at RB should only continue to expand after he rushed for 851 yards as a freshman. Unofficial Theme Song: "Ride the Lightning" by Metallica Southern Mississippi (0-12,0-8 C-USA) Southern Mississippi won the Conference-USA championship in 2011, so one would think that the winless season in 2012 was more of anomaly than a trend. With first-time head coach Todd Monken taking over. Golden Eagles fans hope that new blood means winning days are once again not far away. Unofficial Theme Song: "Golden " by My Morning Jacket UAB (3-9,2-6 C-USA) One bright spot of the 2012 season for UAB was that they seemed to find their QB of the future in freshman Austin Brown, who should continue to improve upon the 2,648 yards and 15 TD he put up a year ago. Unofficial Theme Song: "Hold On " by Alabama Shakes Louisiana Tech (9-3,4-2WAC) Running back Kenneth Dixon had 27 TDs last year as a true freshman after fellow RB Tevin King, who was average 9.4 yards per carry, went down. With both in the mix under new head coach Skip Holtz, the Bulldogs should be a force in C-USA. Unofficial Theme Song: "Bulldog Skin" by Guided by Voices North Texas (4-8,3-5 Sun Belt) North Texas fans hope that 2013 will be the season that ends the program's eight year bowl drought, and there is reason to believe that third-year head coach Dan McCarney can get them there if they learn to convert more frequently on redzone opportunities, where they were 103rd in the nation last year. Unofficial Theme Song: "Mean Green Season" by The 77s Rice (7-6,4-4 C-USA) Rice finished last year as one of the hottest teams in the country, winning their last five games, including a win over Air Force in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. When healthy, QB Taylor McHargue is a dual force who can beat you with his arm or his feet. Unofficial Theme Song: "Rice is Nice" by The Lemon Pipers Tulane (2-10 2-6 C-USA) 2013 marks the final season for Tulane in Conference USA, as they will move on to the AAC and a brand new stadium in 2014. They hope that transfer QB Nick Montana (son of Joe) can replicate some of his dad's magic on the field and end a 10-year losing streak in th^ process. Unofficial Theme Song: "Glimmer" by Pelican Tulsa (11-3,7-1 C-USA) The reigning C-USA champions have enough talent under head coach Bill Blankenship to vie for the title once again, although they will need unproven players, especially on the offensive line, to step up quickly as they have lost 18 seniors from last year's championship squad. Unofficial Theme Song: "Rock You Like A Hurricane " fay The Scorpions UTEP (3-9,2-6 C-USA) The Miners, who called the Sun Bowl home, are looking for brighter days in their future under new head coach Sean Kugler, who will look to rebuild a program that struggled to finish drives in 2012, putting up only 21.4 points per game. Unofficial Theme Song: "Here Comes the Sun " by The Beatles UTSA (8-4,3-3WAC) UTSA was beyond impressive in their FBS debut in 2012 under veteran head coach Larry Coker, but the fledgling team is likely to see some regression in the more competitive C-USA. The presence of senior QB Eric Soza (2085 yards, 20 TD, 3 INT) will be crucial to keeping the team together as they build towards becoming bowl eligible in 2014. Unofficial Theme Song: "Born to Run " by Bruce Springsteen LESS MESSY. MORE FRESHY. rr)| MAC The 2012 football season proved that the MAC deserves to be taken seriously, as Northern Illinois became the first team from the conference to advance to a BCS bowl game. The conference title should be a hard fought battle again, with the Huskies ' remaining a major player, and — with 19 returning starters — Bowling Green making a case for being the best of the bunch. EAST DIVISION Akron (1-11,0-8 MAG) The Zips return 15 starters from last year when, despite their record, they were actually one of the better passing teams in the nation with 312.8 yards/game. Coach Terry Bowden will need to improve the defense in his second year at the helm to see an increase in wins. Unofficial Theme Song: “Kangaroo Court" by Capital Cities Bowling Green (8-5,6-2 MAC) Bowling Green looks to continue to improve on last year's successful season, with almost their entire starting corps back on both sides of the ball. Anthon Samuel (998 yards, 11 TD) should continue to grow at RB and DB BooBoo Gates will help lead a defense that was best in the MAC last season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Green Theme" by Baroness BuFFalo (4-8,3-5 MAC) taansaoE^ Buffalo IS still looking for another bowl appearance, after the program's only trip in 2008. Senior WR Alex Neutz should have his hands full on offense as he tries to top the 1,(XX) yard mark for the second straight season. Unofficial Theme Song: “Buffalo, NY" by Into It. Over It KentState (11-3.8-0 MAC) Kent State had one of their program's best years ever in 2012, but will begin this year with a new head coach in Paul Haynes and with a lot of positions that will need to be filled. One that won't be an issue is running back, where Dri Archer will continue his onslaught on defensives after rushing for 9.0 yards per carry last year, scoring 16 times. Unofficial Theme Song: “It's No Accident" by Nidi DeFrange Massachusetts (1-11,1-7 MAC) Last season was UMass' first year in FBS, and it showed, winning only one game. Wins will continue to be hard to come by for this fledgling program, but they should be able to play a more competitive brand of football their second time around. Unofficial Theme Song: "Massachusetts" by Ra Ra Riot mni \ Miami (4-8,3-5 MAC) Miami struggled down the home stretch in 2012, but their pass happy offense attack did lead to nearly 300 yards/ game. The Redhawks must improve a run defense that gave up 35 scores last year. Bowling Green DB BooBoo Cates WEST DlVISION “ Bali State (9-4,6-2 MAC) " Ball State should continue to score this season (33rd in the nation last year in points per game), with QB Keith Wenning, RB Jawhan Edwards, WR Willie Snead and TE Zane Fakes all back in the mix for another year. Unofficial Theme Song: “Young Cardinals" by Alexisonfire Central Michigan (7-6.4-4 MAC) Central Michigan started off slowly last year, but ended the season on a four game winning streak, including a 24-21 win in the Little Ceasars Bowl over Western Kentucky. The Chippewas will have a big hole to fill with OT Eric Fisher graduating to the NFL as the 2013 #1 overall draft pick. Unofficial Theme Song: "Central Standard Time “by The Get Up Kids Eastern Michigan (2-10,1-7 MAC) Sophomore QB Tyler Benz got some important time under center last year and should nave full reign of a team that will need to improve upon the 171.2 passing yards per game from 2012 to see some more Ws in the standings. Unofficial Theme Song: "Fly Like An Eagle" by Steve Miller Band Northern Illinois (12-2.8-0 MAC) The Huskies were nation^il darlings a year ago, becoming the first MAC team to make a BCS bowl game (Orange Bowl). Rod Carey takes over as head coach of a team that should keep humming right along, with QB Jordan Lynch (3135 passing yards, 1815 rushing yards, 44 total TD) back for a senior year that could be Heisman worthy. Unofficial Theme Song: "Orange" by Ken Nordine - Toledo (9-4,6-2 MAC) Toledo's offense should be a blast to watch this year, with nine starters back in the mix, including WR Bernard Reedy who had 89 catches for over 1100 yards last season, but it will be Toledo's defense, which struggled against the pass last year, that will determine the Rockets' ultimate fate in 2013. Unofficial Theme Song: “Rok It To The Moon" by The Stranglers Unofficial Theme Song: "Swoop (I'm Yours)" by The Dazz Band Western Michigan (4-8.2-6 MAC) Ohio (9-4.4-4MAC) The Broncos 4-8 record from 2012 is a bit deceiving, as they lost four games by less than one score. If the defensive core that returns eight starters can generate a few more stops and turnovers. Western Michigan could be playing in a bowl game this year. Ohio punctuated a strong 2012 season with a blowout 45-14 victory over Louisiana-Monroe in the Advocare VI00 Independence Bowl, and with QB Tyler Tettelton and most of his offensive weapons back from last year, the Bobcats should be one of the stronger offensive teams in the MAC.

This year, the Mountain West will be separated in to two divisions and will hold the conference's first championship game in December. Look for Boise State to be the cream of the crop in the Mountain Division, as Fresno State and San Diego State are likely to battle for supremacy out in the West. MOUNTAIN DIVISION Air Force Academy {6-7.5-3MWC) Air Force made their sixth straight bowl game last year on the strength of the #2 rushing team in yards/game, but will need to find replacements fast for RB Cody Getz and QB Connor Dietz to make it seven in a row. Unofficial Theme Song: "Hunters of the Sky" by Mastodon Boise State (11-2.7-1MWC) Some considered last year a "down" year for Boise State, but they only lost two games by a total of six points. QB Joe Southwick should be more comfortable in year two and if the Broncos can keep up their stingy defense (15.8 points/game) they should be looking at another 10+ win season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Tangled up in Blue" by Bob Dylan Colorado State (4-8,3-5 MWC) Colorado State won three of their last five games in 2012, and with 19 starters back, they should be one of the more experienced MWC teams. Now these starters need to mature and get better on both sides of the ball to lead the Rams to a bowl game for the first time since 2008. Unofficial Theme Song: "Rocky Mountain High " by John Denver New Mexico (4-9,1-7 MWC) Bob Davie coached for the first time in over a decade last year, and at times gave Lobos fans something to be excited about, with a rushing attack that averaged 300.8 yards/game. Davie will need to find a way to improve the passing game from 123rd in the country to continue the way up. Unofficial Theme Song: "New Mexico’s No Breeze" by Iron & Wine (9-4,7-1 MWC) Fresno State QB Derek Carr (brother of former Bulldog and NFL QB David Carr) is back for his senior year and after putting up over 4,000 yards and 37 TDs in 2012 it will be interesting to see what he does for an encore with arguably the most explosive offense in the MWC. Unofficial Theme Song: "Bulldog Front" by Fugazi Hawaii (3-9.1-7 MWC) Head coach Norm Chow's first year in Hawaii was a rough one, but with a season under his belt, and his entire offense back from a year ago, the Rainbow Warriors should begin to look more like the high powered offenses of years past. Unofficial Theme Song: "Rainbow in the Dark” by Dio Nevada (7-6,4-4 MWC) 2013 brings big changes for Nevada football, as head coach Chris Ault, innovator of the Pistol Offense, retired at the end of last year. Even without Ault, Nevada's offense should be in good shape, after averaging nearly 38 points per game in 2012. r Unofficial Theme Song: /'Wolf Like Me" by TV On The Radio Nevada-Las Vegas (2-n.2-6MWC) 2013 will likely bring another losing season for the Rebels, but with QB Nick Sherry only a sophomore and a legit RB in Tim Cornett (1232 yards, 7 TD), UNLV should be able to pick up a few more wins and move closer to their first bowl game since 2000. Unofficial Theme Song: "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol Utah State (11-2,6-0 WAC) Coming off a WAC championship and a win in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, The Aggies are riding a lot of momentum as they enter the MWC, and they should be one of the more exciting teams to watch in the conference, with an offense that averaged nearly 500 yards per game and a defense ranked seventh last year in points allowed per game. San Diego State (9-4,7-1 MWC) The Aztecs' strength in 2012 was their ground game, which averaged 220 yards/game, and that should continue this year as junior RB Adam Meuma looks to grow on his 16 TDs and nearly 1500 yards from a season ago. Unofficial Theme Song: "Aztec" by Bo Diddley Unofficial Theme Song: "Big Blue Wave" by Hey Ocean! Wyoming (4-8,3-5 MWC) San Jose State (11-2.5-1 WAC) The Cowboys won three out of their final four games last year, and with most of their starters back, including QB Brett Smith, who had a strong 27 TD to 6 INT ratio last year, Wyoming should be back in the bowl hunt in 2013. The Spartans dominated on both sides of the ball last season in the WAC, and should continue to do so in the MWC, with QB David Fales (4,193 yards, 33 TD) throwing to WR Noel Grigsby (82 catches, 1,307 yards) and All-WAC LB Keith Smith leading the way on defense with nearly 100 tackles last year.

Can Stanford repeat on the back of QB Kevin Hogan? How will Oregon react with head coach Chip Kelly jumping to the NFL? Can USC WR Marquis Lee beat the odds and win the Heisman Trophy? Only time will tell. 0 o NORTH DIVISION California (3-9.2-7Pac-12) New California coach Sonny Dykes will look to implement the same sort of high-octane offense he installed at Lousiana Tech, but it could be a year or two before the Golden Bears can truly compete in a stacked Pac-12. Unofficial Theme Song: “All the Gold in California" by Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers Arizona (8-5,4-5 Pac-12) Rich Rodriguezs sguad should be able to once again put up big points behind RB Ka'Deem Carey, who nearly broke the 2,000 yard rushing mark last year, but it is a defense that gave up over 35 points/game that will need to improve to make Arizona a true contender. Unofficial Theme Song: "Wildcat" by Ratatat OREGOn Oregon (12-1,8-1 PAC-12) Arizona State (8-5,5-4 Pac-12) Chip Kelly may be gone, but the weapons he recruited to Oregon are still in place to make another run for a Pac-12 title and possibly a BCS championship, including potential Heisman candidates in sophomore QB Marcus Mariota and the electric junior all-purpose back De'Anthony Thomas. Arizona State ended a successful 2012 campaign with a blowout 62-28 victory over Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and should continue to be on the rise in tne Pac-12 with senior DT Will Sutton and his 13 sacks from last year a big part of that ascent.

Unofficial Theme Song: "Vampire Beavers" by Joe Hall Stanford (12-2,8-1 Pac-12) Colorado had arguably their worst season in the program's history in 2012, but things should be looking up with new head coach Mike MacIntyre coming over from a successful run at San Jose State.

QB Kevin Hogan took a stranglehold on the signal caller job late in the season, but it is Stanford's smashmouth defense that will keep the Cardinal in any game they play. Unofficial Theme Song: "Cardinal Rules" by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Washington (7-6,5-4 Pac-12) The Huskies lost a nail biter to Boise State in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas 28-26, but fortunately for Huskies fans that team was filled with underclassmen that will continue to grow in 2013, and should be particularly strong on D, where they gave up only 24.2 points/game in 2012.

They should once again be players to win the Pac-12 especially as QB Brett Hundley (3745 yards, 29 TD) continuk Mike Leach's first year with the Cougars was a tough one, but the team was able to put up big passing yards with the Air Raid offensive scheme.

Freshman QB Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M brought the Heisman Trophy back to the SEC.

WEST DIVISION Alabama (13-1,7-1 SEC) Nick Saban's championship squad will once again be led by quarterback AJ.

Unofficial Theme Song: "One for the Razorbacks" by Green Day Auburn (3-9,0-8 SEC) Auburn had a tough year in 2012, but now it is time for some of the youngsters to step up and turn this team around. With nine offensive starters returning, an emphasis must be made to improve upon the 18.7 points/game scored last season. Unofficial Theme Song: "Paper Tigers" by Thrice Louisiana State (10-3.6-2 SEC) With Les Miles at the helm for his 10th season, LSD has continually been a national championship contender year in and year out. In 2013, the team's chances ride heavily on QB Zach Mettenberger, who, for all his talent, must put up better numbers than the 12 TDs and 7 INTs from a year ago. Unofficial Theme Song: "I Can See For Miles" by The Who Mississippi (7-6,3-5 SEC) The Rebels had one of the best recruiting classes in college football this offseason and with the majority of their starters back from a season ago, should be a deep team with a bright future in the ever challenging SEC. § , :■ Unofficial Theme Song: "Rebel, Rebel" by David Bowie ' Mississippi State (8-5,4-4 SEC) The Bulldogs came out swinging last season, winning their first seven games before stumbling down the stretch.

For Florida to be true national contenders, they must stabilize an ineffective passing game that ranked near last in the nation in 2012. Unofficial Theme Song: "Swamp" by Talking Heads Georgia (11-2,7-1 SEC) The Bulldogs had Alabama on the ropes in the SEC title game a year ago but fell just short.

It's become old hat to conjure up memories of the Three-in-a-Row For the Bison? 1'. j" fl: , ByJoshShrechengost p 2013 Football Championship Subdivision Preview I I those around the country who follow college football time where the little FCS school walked into the home and in particular, the FCS, could very well be in for a stadium of a bigger, stronger and faster FBS opponent magical and historic ride. Only one other team in FCS and walked out of town with an "upset" victory. Why? history has won three straight national championships Well, because it's no longer that much of a surprise, if -the aforementioned Appalachian State Mountaineers it's even a surprise at all. For the past several years - upended Delaware in the last championship game since Appalachian State walked into the Big House in legendary head coach Jerry Moore had a chance to call Michigan six years ago an unknown and walked out a from the sideline - and while NDSU is surely facing an household name - even the most casual observer of uphill battle on the way to championship number three, college football has begun to note the rapidly shrinking rest assured head coach Craig Bohl will have his Bison gap between the FBS big boys and the scrappers from squad mentally and physically prepared for the task at three straight titles between 2005-07. The two-time defending Missouri Valley the Football Championship Subdivision. Football Conference champions face an even tougher task in 2013 should they hope to win a third straight FCS title, as the nation's most thrilling postseason hand. And while North Dakota State is - at the moment, at teams upending their more established "Division After a string of five straight different national champions from 2007-11, North Dakota State became the first repeat FCS champion since Appalachian State won playoff format expands from 20 to 24 teams this season.

Not only new, improved 24-team playoff format kicks off for the can a player be recognized at the FCS level by helping very first time. impact and propel a team that may be one piece away from a national championship to postseason glory, he THE FIRST FIVE North Dakota State - In 2011, the Bison ground can also travel a well-worn path to the NFL The talent out a hard-fought victory over Sam Houston State in gap between FBS and FCS has all but closed over the the national championship game by a score of 17-9. past decade and NFL scouts, coaches and general managers know this. When evaluating players with FCS backgrounds, NFL front office types no longer look at these players as having competed at a "lower" competitive level. The ultimate proving ground for FCS players comes in the form of the most exciting postseason format in all of college football. For years, 16 teams would line up in a bracket in a style very much similar to the NCAA Basketball Championship. Winner keeps playing, loser goes home. Rather than leave their national championship contenders to be determined by polls and computers, the FCS allows it be decided on the field. It's no surprise at all then that the popularity of the FCS playoffs has spurred changes on both the FCS and FBS level. Following the 2014 season, the FBS will institute a four-team playoff system to determine its national champion, while the FCS will expand from 20 to 24 teams in the playoffs this season. It certainly seems as if the best just got better, as fans will be treated to even more playoff action. As we wrote in this very preview last year, it would be difficult for North Dakota State to repeat as National Champions, but we here at Touchdown Illustrated thought that the Bison had the talent to make another run at the crown. Considering that NDSU's championship run last was powered by its junior class, ______ that record-setting wide receiver Brandon Kaufman departed for the NFL as a junior after last season. The defense will be solid, anchored by linebacker Ronnie Hamlin and cornerback T.J. Lee. Look for the Eagles to make a deep playoff run if they can survive a brutal regular season road schedule. Viltanova - The Wildcats are one of the most explosive offensive teams in the entire country if all cylinders are hitting in unison. Villanova also returns 18 starters, a huge number in college football, including Jerry Rice Award winner, quarterback John Robertson. Teaming up with Robertson in the backfield is 1,000yard running back Kevin Monangai, while defensive linemen Antoine Lewis and Rakim Cox anchor a stout front seven that will be very difficult for opposing offenses to run against this season. Towson - The Tigers boast one of, if not the top running back in the entire FCS in Terrance West. In two seasons as the Tigers' starting tailback. West has rushed for nearly 2,400 yards and has scored 43 total touchdowns - and he's only getting better. In 2013, West will be running behind a big, veteran - ail five starters return - offensive line and could put up even gaudier statistics should both he and his offensive line Butterball remain healthy during the season. South Dakota State - The Jackrabbits return the FCS' leading rusher from a year ago in running back Zach Zenner and he should have plenty of room to run II Last year, the two teams met again only this time the this season if he follows All-America left tackle Bryan Bison cruised, 39-13 in a game that was absolutely Witzmann. Though Zenner cracked the 2,000 rushing dominated by NDSU. While the Bearkats of SHSU yard plateau (2,044), both he and his teammates need suffered big personnel losses due to graduation quarterback Austin Sumner to play like he did in 2011 if after last season, NDSU's veteran-laden team merely the Jackrabbits are to have a successful regular season got stronger and gained even more championship and battle NDSU in the Missouri Valley Football experience.

The key offensively will be whether Conference, Klaphake gives St. Bears out of the playoffs last year, can grind D, which will try to match last year's total of 38 forced senior QB Mike Box can become more accurate. On Cloud a shot. with the best of them. C-N led the nation in turnovers. the other side of the ball, linebackers Alex Berdahl and Carl Fleming are stalwarts...It's three straight conference Shippensburg QB Zach Zulli titles for New Haven, but the Chargers have some big holes to fill offensively, includirtg QBs Ryan Osiecki and Ronnie Nelson, who combined to throw 34 TD passes, against just seven picks. It will be up to backs Mike DeCaro and Andy Tillman to carry the load until things settle down under center. NORTH The Best: Anybody who thought Minnesota State's record-setting 2012 season that featured a run to the national semis was a fluke is about to be proven wrong. The Mavericks are loaded for a repeat run at the ^ Northern Sun title, thanks to the returns of 17 starters. Expect MSU to rip through rivals on the ground again, thanks to backs Connor Thomas (912 yards, 10 TDs) and Andy Pfeiffer (816, 9) and QB Jon Wolf (695,10). ; The defense returns eight starters, including junior enc Chris Schaudt, who compiled 17.5 stops behind the ■ line last year.

The Warhawks lost three games - three games! - in '12 and watched the proceedings from afar. After seven straight appearances in the national title game (and four championships), this was a seismic shift indeed. All was not lost in '12, since Mount Union won it all again, ruling the D-lll ranks for the fifth time since 2005 and restoring some of the order that evaporated when Wisconsin-Whitewater stayed home. So, are the Warhawks primed for a renaissance? Will they meet the Purple Raiders once again for it all? Linfield will sure have something to say about that. So will Mary Hardin-Baylor and Wesley. Same with St. Thomas. We will soon learn whether 2012 was the beginning of a trend or a mere hiccup. EAST The Best: While new quarterback Pat Conlan gets comfortable, expect Hobart to rely heavily on its defense, which was fifth overall in 2012 and has eight starters back, including end Tyre Coleman, who had a remarkable 30.5 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks last year. The Rest: The tables were turned on Widener in the D-lll quarters last year when Mount Union hung a 72-17 beating on the Pride. That satisfied some of the teams Widener skunked last year. Don't expect much mercy this season, but the Pride must first find a QB to get the ball to wideout Anthony Davis (64 catches, 16 TDs)...Washington & Jefferson has had 29 straight winning seasons, but last year the Presidents took a step forward with an 8-3 record and a playoff appearance. Expect more good things, thanks to a fine offense triggered by Matt Bliss...After a firstround playoff loss last year. Rowan has some holes to fill, most notably at QB, but at least it can count on ASUS recommends Windows 8. wideouts Ed Eisenhart (31 catches, 9 TDs) and Warren Oliver (27,4), while end Chris Alvarez (10.5 tackles for loss) and safety Kurt Kingett are defensive stalwarts... Safety Bryan Gary registered 69 tackles and picked off two passes, and end Brandon Fedorka had 10.5 sacks last year and they both return to help Waynesburg's defense stay stout. The Yellow Jackets hope junior QB Carter Hill can improve on the promise he showed last year, when he passed for 1,075 yards and 10 TDs, BRING HD TO YOUR TAILGATE against iust five picks. NORTH The Best: Wisconsin-Whitewater may have staggered last season, but Mount Union held up its part of the deal, rolling through its first two tourney games, holding off Mary Hardin-Baylor in a wild semi and then subduing St. Thomas for the crown. Those wanting an encore had better hope last year's second string is ready for action, because the Purple Raiders bring back a total of five starters, with only one on defense. But since when is reloading a problem for Mount Union? Oh, yeah, and the Raiders will have to do it without head coach Larry Kehres, who stepped down in May. His son, Vince, who was the defensive coordinator, takes over. Expect continued excellence, and don't be surprised if the second generation pulls off a title run in 2013. The Rest: Wittenberg scored 37.7 ppg last year en route to a 10-win season, and nine offensive starters return, guaranteeing more prosperity on that side of the ball. Leading the way is QB Reed Florence, who threw for 2,819 yards arpd 28 scores last year and rushed for 485 more and seyen TDs. If the defense, which has six regulars back, can be stingy again, the Tigers are going places... If football games are won along the lines. North Central (IL) should be in pretty good shape, because both forward walls are robust and stand out among the 16 returning starters. Safety Shane Dierking picked off four passes last year, while QB Spencer Stanekthrew 20 scoring strikes...Expect another aerial circus at Ohio Wesleyan, where QB Mason Espinosa averaged 49 attempts a game while throwing for 3,371 yards and 20 TDs. The Battling Bishops don't throw it too deep, but they have a passel of targets and put big pressure on opponents. t J , '' SOUTH The Best: You would be hard-pressed to find a ^i;better defensive player in the country than Wesley "Jinebacker Sosthene Kapepula, who made 120 tackles last year, including 13 for loss, broke up nine ^ ? ® © 2013 ASUS Computer International.

He's the stalwart of a stout unit that also features safety Jared Morris, who intercepted six passes last year. The Wolverines will stop people, but can they score enough to make a major impact in the playoffs? With openings at QB, running back and along the line, that is the big question. The Rest: The big off-season news regarding Johns Hopkins centered on lacrosse (the Blue Jays are joining the Big Ten in the sport), but the JHU gridiron outfit returns 15 starters from a team that reached the post­ season's second round. Expect strong defensive work from Hopkins, but QB Robbie Matey must cut back on the interceptions, and J.D. Abbott (539 yards, 8 TDs) must emerge as a front line back...Mary HardinBaylor reached the national semis last year and is a good bet to return, despite some big skill position losses on offense. Whoever emerges at QB will have the luxury of throwing to Caleb Moore and handing off to Elijah Hudson, while the defensive side of the ball can expect consistent production from CB Brodrick Crain and defensive end Korey Steward...Fans who attend Hardin-Simmons games never have to worry about excitement, but if the Cowboys want to improve on last year's 6-4 record, they'll have to do better than surrendering 35 ppg. Even when you score 47.5 each time out, that's too many. Running back Tevin Mitchell (663 yards, 9 TDs) could be poised for a breakout, particularly while a new quarterback gets settled. Corey Jones (54 catches, 5 TDs) and Trei Lewis (42, 10) will make that adjustment easier. WEST The Best: This could be the year Linfield gets its first-ever national title. The Wildcats have long been the scourge of the west, but with the entire defense back, led by Dom Forrest (79 tackles, four interceptions) and Brynnan Hyland (19 sacks), they are championship caliber. It could all come down to whether the quarterback position stabilizes. Josh Yoder (306 yards, 6 TDs, 0 interceptions) and Matt Yarbrough both saw reserve duty last year. One must emerge. The Rest: Quarterback Matt O'Connell is quite a weapon fpr St. Thomas. He rushed for 819 yards and five scores and threw for 2,771 and 22 TDs last year, but he must cut back on his total of 16 interceptions. Brenton Braddock's 1,132 yards and 16 touchdowns should help. Look out for linebacker Tremayne Williams, an all-around scourge on defense..

Longest n«ys The Cactus Bowl Trevor Harris continued the tradition of Edinboro Fighting Scots playing in the Cactus Bowl in January 2009. (NOTE: The 2007 contest was suspended.) The quarterback completed 10 of 13 passes for 97 yards and ran three times for 17 yards to help the West All-Stars to a 16-0 win over the East All-Stars. For a number of years Division II football teams had an all-star game named the Snow Bowl, which was played in Fargo, North Dakota. In 2000 the contest was moved to Kingsville, Texas and renamed the Cactus Bowl. The contest features the top small col­ lege seniors in the country. Edinboro had at least one representative in every Cactus Bowl (aka Snow Bowl) but one until last year, with a streak of nine straight years. Here's a complete list of the Fighting Scots who have performed in the Cactus Bowl DiviSion II All-Star Game.
