We're down to the Final Four. The choices are really tough now.



Boise St seems to never miss a beat. And their QB has a full year of experience after a "down" year in which the Broncos only won 11 game. It's Boise's first trip to Provo since dropping 50 in the snow on the Cougars and Matt Berry, John Beck, Jackson Brown and Todd Mortensen.



Notre Dame is in year four of Chip Kelly and should be as good on defense agan and could find that stability on defense they've been missing.



Wisconsin is hard, smash mouth football team that has been to what? three consecutive Rose Bowls? And we play late in the year in Madison.



Texas is one of the most athletic teams every year in the country, but Mack Brown is on the hot seat. Some people have them in the top 10 in pre-season polls and others have them picked fourth in the Big XII. So who knows.



Here's the schedule so far:

1. ???

2. ???

3. ???

4. ???

5. vs Utah (50%)

6. at Utah St (47%)

7. vs Georgia Tech (86%)

8. vs Middle Tennessee St (64%)

9. at Nevada (52%)

10. at Virginia (58%)

11. at Houston (38%)

12. vs Idaho St (92%)

Texas > BSU. UT has 19 returning starters, speed at WR, tough D, picked by some to win the Big XII, and a coach with one more shot at glory.

BSU won't be easy, but BYU feels recent pangs of Letting one slip away and will be hungry. Our Idaho QB has a big game vs the Donks. BYU wins.

And, bc Wisc and ND are away in very imposing stadiums, they are tougher games than either UT or BSU at home. And ND gets nod for toughest given returning coach, and depth. Wisc coming off tough year and trying to reload along with a new coach and staff.

I'll go with BSU. Based on home vs away and intimidation factor.

I argued this in the spring time that Wisc wouldnt be as tough as on paper. I kind of agree.

Texas. First home game. I voted for them last week too.

I went with Boise State on this one.They are a good team but I think if they were to play any of the other three probably have a pretty good shot at losing which in my mind makes them the weakest of the 4. Of course the not knowing for sure is what makes this fun and interesting.

Boise for sure based on last year. However, we'll all be surprised by at least a few of the results this season because it's impossible to really know how much these teams have improved/digressed.

Wiscy was the worst of those 4 last season, and has an all-new coaching staff. But BSU may have less physical size when it comes down to smash-mouth, and that game is in Provo.
