1. MSU- defending champions, best offense in the BSC, can the defense hold teams when it counts? Probably.
2. IDAHO- could take another step forward, we will see. Beat a lack luster UM team on the road last year, will get MSU in the dome.
3. WSU- should be competitive on defense still, let’s see if they can score more points this fall.
4.UCD- they bring back a good QB, and Hawkins seems to have a competitive team as of late.
5. SS- co-defending champion. Let’s see what they can do. I’m not super “bullish” on them. But they’ve been on top for awhile now.
6. UM - definitely unpopular for the subjective fan here. But objectively, they lost a lot on defense and return a decent line with no stars around it to block for. New OC and QB.
7. NAU- they continue to recruit well and have great facilities. Will best someone this year they shouldn’t as most fans notice. Maybe they string a few BSC wins together.
Whoever else you wanna jumble in. Maybe you could flip flop SS and UM. We will see in October. Don’t let September cloud your judgment.
That is about how I see it as well. The only thing I would add is that weber gets MSU, UI, and Davis in Ogden this year. that could make all the difference in the world. Also, Weber gets MSU early on and that can also play into things. Weber's most difficult road game comes at EWU and as long as the Wildcats can keep from puking due to the pink turf, that one should be a win. ;-)
I would move UM ahead of Suc State. (Oh No, We Suck Again)
