25. East Carolina: The defending Conference USA champs return 15 starters, including quarterback Patrick Pinkney, who threw for 2,675 yards and 13 touchdowns for a 9-5 team. The offensive line returns intact. Non-conference trips to West Virginia and North Carolina, plus a home game with Virginia Tech, means ECU won't be a BCS-buster. But the Pirates are capable of winning C-USA again.
