Weekend Watch
#4 Boise State Broncos
Field Cred- W’s against #16 Oregon @ Fresno, @ Tulsa
This week @ Hawaii
The Broncos take the flight to the island to play the Warriors who are having a down season in year two post June Jones. Don’t take the Warriors lightly playing at home and the flight from Boise not your normal roady. The question for the Broncos is do they have to win with style points to stay at 4 or to move up?
#8 TCU Horned Frogs
Field Cred-W’s @UVA, @Clemson, against CSU (beat CU)
This week @ #9 BYU (beat #3 Oklahoma and CSU)
The Frogs and Cougars meet in this weekend’s biggest match-up shinning some much earned light on the non AQ schools and the Mnt West. The Frogs embarrassed the Cougars last season knocking them from the ranks of the unbeaten and BCS consideration. Now that the rolls are completely flipped the question is will the Cougars be able to handle the Frogs speed?
#16 BYU Cougars
Field Cred-W’s against Oklahoma, CSU
This week vs. #8 TCU (beat Clemson, UVA, and CSU)
The Coug’s have revenge on their minds. Not only for the beat-down received last year in Ft Worth but the embarrassment handed out by FSU earlier this season at the Mountain. BYU wants to prove that they can play with and beat teams built on good/great speed which has always been the knock. With some help BYU still has a chance to avoid a third straight trip to Vegas in Dec. but a second straight loss to the Frogs ends those chances.
#17 Houston Cougars
Field Cred-W’s @ # 5 Okie St, against Texas Tech now ranked, @ Miss. St
This Week against SMU
The other Coug’s welcome in the Ponies from up state and aren’t to be taken lightly just ask TCU. June Jones has a team with some bad losses however is 2-0 in conference and always plays hard and could catch the Cats looking ahead with games against USM, Tulsa, and UCF traditional conference powers coming up the next three weeks. Don’t fall asleep again UH!!!
#18 Utah Utes
Field Cred- W’s against Louisville, @CSU
This week against Air Force
Utah continues to play even more under the radar if possible and start a stretch of three straight home games against very beatable opponents UW and UNM to follow. However the Falcons tend to have the Utes number being the only MWC team with a winning record against Utah 14-11. And just like there I-15 brother they still have an outside chance of cracking the BCS, but all starts with winning out.
NR Central Michigan Chippewa’s
Field Cred-W’s @ #23 Michigan St.
This Week @ Bowling Green
Central is now in the driver seat to win the MAC for the second time in three years and travels to take on a Bowling Green squad with a sub par record but who has played a brutal schedule. This becomes a comparison game, BSU traveled cross country and hung near half a hundred on the Falcons, so again winning with style become almost as important as winning itself. P.S. CMU’s one loss on the road at Tucson, AZ now looks even better as the Cats moved into the top 25.
** Looking to make their way onto the watch list**
Idaho Vandals
Record 6-1
Field Cred W’s @ Northern Illinois (beat Purdue (beat Ohio State)) beat CSU
This week @ Nevada
The Vandals are historically one of the worst FBS programs but this year have found what it takes to come away with some much needed W’s. They only played one AQ school and lost but, have games upcoming with conference powers Fresno and national power Boise so the Vandals could still be heard from.
