When you think about the Dabo Swinney era at Clemson, the first thing you'll think about will be the annual trips to the College Football Playoff, the multiple national championships, and the countless conference championships. And as you could imagine, the play of the quarterback during that time is the main reason for all that success. While Tajh Boyd never won a national championship, he's the QB that helped get Dabo's program back into the national spotlight, taking the Tigers to back-to-back BCS bowl games. Following Boyd, was Deshaun Watson, one of the highest-rated recruits to ever commit to Clemson, and he didn't disappoint, taking the team to the College Football Playoff in consecutive seasons, winning one national title, and losing in another. After Watson, comes Trevor Lawrence, an even higher-rated recruit, who didn't disappoint either, losing only one game as a starter, while taking the Tigers to a third national title, and losing in another.

When you look back at the 2022 college football season, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better story in the sport, than what happened in Durham, NC. Mike Elko was inheriting a Duke program that had slipped in recent years under David Cutcliffe after he had taken the program to heights they hadn't seen since the Steve Spurrier days. Every coach sells a program with a vision of winning games on a regular basis and competing for division titles, and conference championships. Even though Elko would never admit it, he didn't that would be possible in the first season, and yet he led Duke to a 9-4 record, with a bowl win, as they exceeded every expectation and then some.

The 2023 college football season is upon us, with multiple conferences having already conducted their media days, and others hosting theirs this week, including the AAC. Earlier this month, Charlotte officially joined the American conference, as they set to take the next step as an athletic department. Another move made by Charlotte this off-season, was to hire Biff Poggi, who served as the assistant head coach at Michigan and was credited for helping return the Wolverines to among the nation's elite. The hiring of Poggi was unique in many ways, as he's a former high school coach, in addition to being a self-made millionaire, making a living on Wall Street. It didn't take long for Poggi to make his presence felt, stating boldly that the 49ers would be among the top 15 defenses in all of college football, and making it known that he was not happy with the current financial state of the program.
