SDSU pick to finish fourth: What!
Ahhhh, maybe there is a slight oversight on my part. Let see now; well, we have a top 5 running back in the Nation-Check; ahhhhh, a top 5 Quarterback in the Nation that will be a first round NFL draft pick-Check; four of five returning starters on the O-line-check; one of the premier tight ends in college football-check; a defensive scheme that rivals the top defenses in the nation, and a seasoned head coach that will helm this potent defense-Check!

Firstly, lets understand what it is that the MWC is seeking. Well, that’s an easy one: BCS acceptance and the automatic bid by satisfying the BCS AQ qualifications. From the Orlando Sentinel: BCS executive director Bill Hancock told the athletic directors and conference commissioners at the meetings they should keep an eye on the MWC. “If they meet the threshold, they’ll be the seventh,” he told reporters. So, what is needed … Read entire article »
