Looking back: Georgia State had a respectable inaugural season of football in 2010, as the Panthers finished 6-5 overall.
Looking ahead: GSU is one of three schools whose football programs are competing as NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly NCAA Division I-AA) in 2011.
The other two institutions, South Alabama and Texas-San Antonio, will compete at the FCS level for just this season only, before moving up to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly NCAA Division I-A), within the next two seasons.
UTSA, whose Roadrunners program debuts this season, will join the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 2012, while South Alabama will move on to the Sun Belt Conference in 2013.
2010 overall record in parentheses
Georgia State (6-5): The Panthers will play one more season as an FCS independent before joining the Colonial Athletic Association in 2012.
South Alabama (10-0): The Jaguars were undefeated in 2010, but will face tougher tests in 2011.
Texas-San Antonio (n/a): Former Miami (Fla.) head coach Larry Coker will lead the first edition of the Roadrunners onto the field in 2011.
