ESPN.com's college football writers and bloggers will be going conference by conference in the coming weeks to preview the season ahead, and we're looking for your rankings along the way. And while the big conferences get most of the time in the spotlight, and most of the BCS bids, there are plenty of other teams out there. In her preseason "non-AQ" rankings, Graham Watson had this to say about MAC contender Central Michigan.
"The Central Michigan defense is healthy after being ravaged by injury last season. The lack of a consistent starting lineup made for one of the worst defenses in the country and cost the Chippewas some games. If the defense can stay healthy and improve upon the awful numbers of the past two seasons, the Chippewas could win their third title in the past four seasons.
Check out Watson's complete non-AQ rankings.
