It is a reality that the top teams in WAC football are separated from the lower tier teams.
Last year USU, SJSU, UI, and NMSU recorded zero wins against the WAC's top five teams.

Most of the pre-season mags state all four "B" League teams will be improved,
but that might not translate in to any more wins than in 2005.

So make the case for your team winning the "B" league.

Then make the case for the other three teams,
as far as you know them.

Will your team beat any of the top teams?

Which ones, and why?

Some mag I was looking at today had Tech finishing 7th ahead of NMSU and SJSU I believe. So, in honor of him, I'll respond to this post. I certainly hope that the coaches of your respected institutions see Tech as a B tier football team this year. This guy had our RB's ranked 7th. That's just ridiculous. We don't have one guy, so nobody's numbers are phenomenal, but our three put up Ryan Moats type numbers last year.

We not only will finish higher than 7th this year, I can see us going 6-2 again in the WAC. Hopefully that puts us at some sort of tie for second. We have to nut up when we go to the island...and against Fresno and Nevada at home. Boise better watch out because these boys will be coming off of games against Nebraska, Clemson, and A&M. The Boise mystique factor may not effect them this year (as it has seemed to effect them since 2001). If my boys can survive the first 5 games, they will compete for the Title. I honestely believe that.

USU plays the NewMags and Idaho at home and San Jose on the road.

Since all 3 games need to be considered tossups from a betting standpoint, go with the home team.

USU goes no worse than 2-1 and wins the "B" league.

SJSU - I like the "home" schedule. This is Tomey's second year so he's closer to where he wants to be as a program. But he's still a couple of years away from challenging for the WAC title.

NMSU - Hal is probably much closer to where he wants to be than Tomey is. Mumme released a lot of players from last year to make room for his guys. I'm looking for a very high powered "O". The "D" probably still needs a couple of years to catch up.

USU - They're definitely getting a gem here and there as far as recruiting goes. Guy is starting to bring in the players. But what will it take to bring in the fans.

Idaho - This is Erickson's first year at Idaho, so he'll be working with somebody elses players. I'm sure that once he starts recruiting his type players, Idaho will have never seen better talent than what Erickson will bring in.
