All information contained in these posts are extracted from the Sporting News 2006 College Football Edition. This one in particular is titled: “Peace in the Valley? No way, it’s Tigers vs. Gamecocks” with James David and Sydney Rice on the cover.

Conference Preview:
The publication ranks the conference at #5. This is behind, in order: SEC, PAC 10, Big 12 and Big 10.
Quarterbacks are the concentration by this publication for the conference. We have many teams with new QB’s and a few with QB’s with only a year under their belts. As stated: “Clemson will be the guinnea pig” with the senior “new” QB. Although the QB’s are in question, the publication states that 3 Atlantic Division teams could be fighting for the crown while 2 in the coastal do. FSU and Miami are quoted as having two of the nations best quarterbacks.
