OPOY: Nathan Enderle
DPOY: New Mexico St.

Utah State was picked #2 by somebody? Was that just a ridiculous pick to show how stupid preseason polls are? (Like Steve Spurrier always voting Duke #25 in the first coach’s poll.)

1. Boise State
9. – tie – Nevada, Fresno State, Utah State, Hawaii, New Mexico State, Idaho, La Tech.

OPOY: Kellen Moore. Why? Because it’s obvious
DPOY: Kellen Moore. Why? Because he’s that good.

Reasoning: I’m Keith Hernandez THE Intern

My preseason guess would be the same as Southorn’s and Murphy’s. This is college football, so you can be sure it won’t turn out this way. Nothing is predictable.
 It’s great to see some WAC teams ( LaTech, Utah St,, Nevada ) actually improving.

If you make it in a Playboy magazine, you should be unanimous. I mean, I can understand Kapi in the OPOY, only because some of the media couldn’t see past stick-man’s head. But Kyle Wilson should be near unanimous, with honorable mention to Ihenacho, and no one else even close.

I think Boise State is, and still will be, head and shoulders above the rest. La. Tech gets second by virtue of Frenso and Nevada’s inconsistencies. San Jose has a lock down on 5th. 6, 7, and 8 are inter-changeable. I do believe Utah State could get to 6th place at 5-7. And Hawaii easily slips to 8th in a couple toss up games.

Nevada. One reason I wouldn’t pick them #1, even if I wasn’t a Boise State fan.

DEFENSE. The say it wins championships, even WAC versions. And Nevada doesn’t have one.

100th in scoring defense giving up 32.3 ppg
120th….yes…dead last in Passing Defense with a “leaks like a sieve” 311 ypg
Even being ranked 6th in Rushing Defense allowing 88 ypg on the ground, isn’t enough to raise the Total Defense any higher than 92nd. Allowing a total of over 400 yards per game. To put it plainly, they stink defensively overall. And that’s good for a loss or two in the score happy WAC. Sorry Wolf pack fans.
