Things I'd like to see (or not see) happen in 2009:
Down on the Tigers: Stop voting Clemson in the Top 10 (or even 15) only to see them disappoint less than halfway through the season. Preseason -- No. 9 in both AP and USA Today polls. Postseason -- no votes in either.
Give the non-majors a shot: Highest-ranked team outside the BCS conferences preseason -- BYU at 16/17. Highest postseason -- Utah at 2/4. There are some good teams outside the six big conferences. TCU is perennially strong, and as Ted asked last week...why isn't Gary Patterson being tapped for something better?
Not-so-Big 12: Despite the offensive numbers earlier, the Big 12 proved itself inferior this bowl season. Coaches need to remember that defense, paired with a manimal named Tim Tebow, wins championships.
Set up SEC-USC matchups: I know the nonconference schedules are set through like 2015, but I would absolutely love to see a September pairing of USC and a Florida, Alabama or rebuilt LSU. Jerry Jones, if you're listening, there's a blockbuster you could schedule at the new Arlington stadium.

How 'bout SC just handles its business and gets to the national championship game? We wouldn't have to worry about scheduling a potentially damaging game (for either team) in September if that was the case.
Learn how to beat Stanford and Oregon State. Then we'll see in January.
