Media day was on Tuesday (July 21st) for the Mountain West Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada and sports radio was all about football all day long! I don't know about all of you, but I am getting tired of listening to all of the Jazz/Boozer drama that is being shoved down our throats. Get it over with and lets talk some pigskin! Preseason rankings are BYU, TCU, and Utah as 1,2, and 3 respectively. Normally I would like to argue this, but based off of what happened last year and who the teams lost I think that this is realistic. I actually would probably change TCU and BYU, but I am a little bit biased. I just know that BYU had a hard time making adjustments during the games last year and until they can show otherwise all the other teams will be running the spread offense against them because they can't stop it and don't have the one on one talent that TCU and Utah carry. For this reason I would put TCU in first. I would probably leave Utah in third because of how many people they lost to the NFL and graduation. It is yet to be decided on who will be the quarterback, but I am hearing that we will have a decision within the first week of camp. I would be ok if the Utes lost 3 games this year after coming off all of the changes. The pressure is definetely on for BYU and they better have a big year or they will just be made a mockery again.
Nevertheless.....It begins!!! What are your predictions for the season? What kind of season would you consider a success? Let the trash talking begin!

If Utah only loses three games I say that would be a very successful season for them. Also no matter what happens the whole season if they beat BYU at the end it will be a good year. It am interested in seeing BYU play the first couple of games, to see how Hall plays after those awful last two games from last season, against Utah and Arizona. I think he needs a couple big games otherwise I don't see BYU winning the conference championship. We will see what happens. I do that TCU will end up winning the conference.
