Every college football team in the country is looking to improve from a year ago, whether it's 1-11 Kansas or 11-2 South Carolina. Heck, even Alabama is looking to fine-tune some things after winning a second straight national title. Unfortunately, not every team that had a great season last year is going to take that next step.
