The Athlon Sports 2011 Big East College Football Annual presents all the great preseason analysis and predictions you've come to expect from Athlon Sports.

Look for regional features on Charlie Strong's impressive debut at Louisville, the rise of quarterback Zach Collaros at Cincinnati and the Backyard Brawl taking it up a notch with Pitt coach Todd Graham and West Virginia offensive coordinator/coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen — noted rivals — arriving in the Big East.

This year's edition also includes war stories from life on the hyper-competitive recruiting trail, an examination of whether or not there is a method to the madness of the NCAA's enforcement policies, a look behind the scenes in the life of a redshirt transitioning from high school superstar to the scout team and a look at what happened to the top 40 recruits from 2006.

As always, Athlon's 2011 annual provides in-depth team-by-team previews, along with our preseason Top 25, All-America teams, All-Big East teams and everything else you need to know about the upcoming season of Big East football.
