5. Fresno State University
Just like last years battle against mighty USC, Pat Hill's take-on-anyone-anytime approach has the Bulldogs visiting LSU's Death Valley in the heart of the season. In order for FSU to crash the BCS party, they must beat LSU and Boise State. If they do, watch out. However, thats a big if.
4. Boise State University
The Broncos gotta to beat Pac-10 middling Oregon State if they hope to earn enough respect to reach the BCS. Getting Fresno State at home certainly helps. "They've got a schedule that gives them a chance to make a run," said Fresno State's Hill. However, they lack a hile profile game, which would give 'em the nod.
3. Texas Christian University
Because of the Frogs' preseason standing at 22, they could probably afford to lose a game early, though beating Texas Tech would really impress the voters, and beating BYU and Utah will be essential to winning their league.
2. University of Utah
Utah has a chance to put itself on the map right off the bat if it can knock off the less-experienced UCLA Bruins. Then, the season will likely swing on their rematch with TCU, which beat the Utes in overtime last season.
1. Northern Illinois University
It's actually quite simple. Northern Illinois must knock off one of the Big Ten heavyweights, Ohio State or Iowa, and win all its conference games. If they do, they'll be 12-1 with the big win neccessary. Led by All-American Tailback Garrett Wolfe, the Huskies could find themselves in a BCS game. Watch out Buckeyes, Garrett Wolfe might be running circles around you.
