Just wait 'til next season: What to expect in '08

An early look at the teams, players and coaches to watch in college football

Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl: BYU v UCLAGetty Images

Eight coaches under pressure

Bobby Bowden, Florida State.
It has come to this: Return to the top of the ACC or be forced out.

Kirk Ferentz, Iowa.
One of the top five highest-paid coaches shouldn't lose 18 games in three seasons.

Steve Kragthorpe, Louisville.
The new defensive staff better produce — especially with state rival Kentucky surging.

Greg Robinson, Syracuse.
Three seasons, 28 losses, the worst team in the Big East. Not a good combination.

Nick Saban, Alabama.
Lose six games again — and to Auburn, again — and see what that gets you in Tuscaloosa.

Bill Stewart, West Virginia.
Here comes the pressure of coaching a team capable of reaching the BCS title game. Camelot lasts only so long.

Charlie Weis, Notre Dame.
Buy him out at $4 million-plus? Another disaster like '07 and that's chump change.

Tyrone Willingham, Washington.
He and Weis will be forever linked. And both could be out of jobs by the end of '08.
