In a seven-part series beginning today, The Post will break down the 2009 college football season, leading up to the first full

Saturday of action on Sept. 5. A closer look:

TODAY: Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and the mighty Florida Gators shoot for their third national title in four years.

TOMORROW: Coach Randy Shannon and quarterback Jacory Harris (right) look to lead the once-proud Miami Hurricanes out of the throes of mediocrity.

TUESDAY:First-year head coach Frank Spaziani has an uphill climb as the Boston College Eagles rebuild on the fly.

WEDNESDAY:Will a new coach (Doug Marrone) and a new quarterback (Greg Paulus) ignite a Syracuse resurgence?

THURSDAY:The schedule is appealing, the stadium renovations are complete.

Is this the year Rutgers takes the next step and wins the Big East?

FRIDAY: Is it truly make or break for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis this season? Jimmy Clausen and the up-and-down Irish are coming off a bowl win, and this should be Weis’ best team.

SATURDAY:Call it “Beamer Ball” or “Boring Ball,” take your pick, but coach Frank Beamer has his Virginia Tech Hokies in position — once again — to contend for a national title.
