One of the better teams to recruit out of Canada, it's not impossible for EMU to enjoy a decent season down the road, but climbing out of the MAC cellar won't be easy, especially with up-and-comers Temple and Buffalo.

Reason for Hope: ESPN continues to broadcast MAC games for Tuesday and Wednesday nights, so I guess EMU may have a chance at a national TV audience one of these days. In 2001 the Eagles lost to a 2-9 I-AA team, which is extremely embarrassing. Last year's 1-11 team was competitive but couldn't irk our a win, and prospects for '07 look bleak as the rest of the MAC (including Buffalo) appear ready to overtake the Eagles. While Central and Western Michigan have had recent success, The Eagles have done just enough not to gain national acclaim for how poorly they've played over the last twenty five years while doing almost nothing positive in terms of building a national reputation. It's Bad, Real Bad: Most people know the so called Michigan "directional schools" exist, but when it comes down to naming the three, many stumble to name them all. New coach Neil Callaway was a top coordinater at the SEC level and a solid recruiter. UAB played Oklahoma tough last season, so a decent upset one of these days isn't out of the question. Reason for Hope: The program has a solid base of talent to draw from in 'Bama, while the noncon scheduling has been beefy enough to give the Blazers an opportunity to garner at least some national attention. What is it from anyway? Are their dragons in Alabama?

The dragon logo seems more equipped for a "Create-A-Team" mode on a video game then an official representation of the team. Therein lies the obscurity, as the Blazers play a modest schedule in the middle of a fairly unrecognizable brand spanking new Conference-USA. UAB has actually been decent the past few seasons, but hasn't been either good or bad enough to attract much attention. It's Bad, Real Bad: UAB didn't even have a football team until 1991, while the acronym for the current Conference-USA team may be one of the most unrecognizable in America.
