15. What conference other than your own should you care about this year?

The WAC. If the Fiesta Bowl didn't wake the nation up about how good and how exciting Boise State is, then nothing will. While BSU might be the WAC's marquee team, Hawaii will be the weekly must-see with Colt Brennan and the boys lighting up the NCAA record book like a Christmas tree. New Mexico State might not be all that great, but its offense, with Chase Holbrook returning at the helm, will be one of the five most productive in America. San Jose State has gone from near-extinction to dangerous under Dick Tomey, Fresno State will rebound, and Nevada is good enough to finish in the top three. Basically, you're going to want to stay up late watching these games.

They also list the WAC as the 8th best conference. The second best non-BCS conference behind...C-USA. Yah...we'll see... ;-)

From the WAC Conference Spring Preview on Hawaii:

Quote:Spring attitude... Get to the BCS. The one slightly difficult non-conference game, at the moment, should be Washington, and that's being played in Aloha. The official WAC schedule hasn't come out yet, but Boise State and Fresno State will likely have to come to Hawaii. With this offense, and just enough experience on defense to not be truly miserable, Hawaii has to shoot for one of the big five games.

No pressure there.
