I am a senior in college and am looking to possibly find a place/program somewhere in Asia that is credible where I could possibly spend a year, post graduation, teaching/teaching English!
Any help or direction would be fabulous!

Teaching English in Asia is the thing to do right now! i-to-i TEFL certifications are pretty handy, but what I've been telling everyone is to just GO ...and something will come to you, guaranteed. If you're looking for something more stringent, Taiwan/Japan/South Korea have higher working and living standards. If you want a more unpredictable ride, China/Vietnam/Thailand is the way to go. But definitely DO IT, it's fun, it's a learning experience; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
There's also threads about this on Travel Blog Exchange, on a group I started called "Teaching English in Asia", you could ask questions there- http://www.travelblogexchange.com/group/teachingenglishinasia
i-to-i (they're a UK company) also has an internship program, where you get your contract through them, and they have a networking site called "Chalkboard" where everyone can ask questions and start discussions.
