WAC Schedules

The Wacky-WAC is such a weird conference. It stretches from Honolulu to Ruston, LA, but over half of its members rest in three states: California, Nevada and Idaho. The top five conference teams(Boise State, Fresno State, Hawaii, Louisiana Tech and Nevada) will be some the top non-BCS teams for 2006, but the bottom four(Idaho, New Mexico State, San Jose State, and Utah State) some of the worse. As well, some of the best coaches, young and old, in the game call the WAC home. Dick Tomey chose to rebuild the San Jose State program at the tender age of 67 last year. This year Dennis Erickson returns to the college game as the head coach of Idaho. Boise State and Fresno State are still the teams to beat, and these knee-jerk preseason predictions will change as August approaches. (red=predicted loss)
