Bowden would love to see that happen, of course. But the winningest coach in major college football history knows it's hardly going to be an easy road.

"We've been in the conference, what, 14 years? It's twice as hard to win now as it was when we got in," Bowden said. "Twice as hard ... The conference has gotten tough. We had four first-rounders and lost five ballgames. You can get beat every Saturday, or any Saturday you walk out there, in this conference."

POWER RANKING: 3

Conference favorite: Florida State

Surprise team: Georgia Tech

Overrated: Miami

Best game: Florida State at Miami (Sept. 4)

Heisman hype: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
