Liberty, which has won at least a share of the last four titles, is the Big South's preseason favorite for a fifth straight year. For their strong senior class, it's now or never for securing what has been an elusive playoff bid.

"I want this year's team to be fast and play physical football," said Flames head coach Danny Rocco, whose program is a combined 34-11 over the last four seasons, including 8-3 last season. It just missed on an at-large playoff bid as well as the Big South's automatic bid.
