The road is too tough this year. Games in Fresno, Ruston, Tulsa, and Honolulu provide too many chances to lose to a good team on the road. The Ducks, if their young O-Line doesn’t do them in, will be a stern test on opening night, as well. I’d guess Boise at about 9 wins.

With your prediction of Boise State going 9-4 this year, it seems like you haven’t really paid too much attention to Bronco football over the past decade… and that’s fine. We understand that the Big Ten thinks they are the most talented conference in the world of college football and we don’t fault your ignorance.

The last time Boise State lost 4 games in the regular season was 2001. Chris Petersen has only lost 4 games in his three years as head coach. This year’s squad has the talent to be, perhaps, one of its best teams ever. They have the schedule to go undefeated and will most likely do so. Hopefully, the Big Ten can field a decent team that will finally put up a fight in its BCS game.

My prediction is Kellen Moore trouncing Ohio State’s secondary in the Fiesta Bowl.
