CBS.SportsLine.com - NCAA Football Think Tank: Trio dissects upcoming season:

Darst: Speaking of coaches … which new coach is going to have the most success in his first season?

Dodd: Mike Price and Sylvester Croom. Not much talent at either school, but the fans, communities and players are so jacked about each new coach that at least one of those schools will go bowling. Price is a perfect fit for El Paso. He’ll win the WAC within three years. With some luck, Croom can win six games.

Darst: If Croom can bring Mississippi State back to a bowl, the SEC just got a whole lot tougher.

Dodd: His discipline is working wonders. I look at that schedule and can pick out six wins — Tulane, Maine, Vandy, UAB, Kentucky and Arkansas or Mississippi.

Mejia:: I think both of those rebuilding jobs have way too much work to be completed before either of those schools even thinks bowl. My choice, for the question posed, is Nebraska’s Bill Callahan. He’ll get the Huskers to a bowl and I’m not sure any of the other 13 guys will. I do see your point though. Mississippi State, Arizona, UTEP, UCF and Army have put their programs in the hands of the right men, so it’s only a matter of time.
