Here's part of a Mountain West preview...I'm no Phil Steele, but I do know the Cougars >>> Utes!

Top three:

1. BYU
2. Utah
3. New Mexico

Lindy's gives the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER to Max Hall QB BYU, and yet the offensive player of the coming year was given to BJ the yewt...hmmm...i'd like to think that the mvp IS the offensive player of the year if it's Max

My Early Predictions


Kwitt gets coach of the year after a 12-1 season and Las Vegas Bowl win somehow edging Bronco Mendenhall who finishes undefeated with a Rose Bowl win. Then Kwitt lands the Florida Job after Urban Myers goes 6-6 and loses to Steve Spurrier.

SMU goes up in smoke and their new headcoach returns to Hawaii as an un-paid assistant while he works off the half million or so UH claims he owes them.

Rick Newweasel gets fired after a record five scandals in one season and Norm Chow finally lands a head coaching job at UCLA when the only UCLA loss is to BYU 63-62.

UW gives BYU all BYU can handle before going down 34-31 in overtime.

BYU beats the horned frogs 6-3 on the road.

BYU 45 Utah 44 on a blocked extra point with 1 second left in OT

Can't wait

That's too many close games. I want BYU by at least 7 points in every game. And 6 to 3 in Fort Worth? Did the entire offense get suspended for missing a practice? Wow.
