Coming Soon...

Over the course of the next week and a half I will be posting my "mid-major" top ten. I plan on updating this every week of the season. I will also be posting a preview of the Mountain West Conference. As I can tell by discussions with friends and comments on here about my Sun Belt analysis, not everybody was thrilled about the time dedicated to them. Let me know how you feel about my spending time on, in my opinion, the best (top-to-bottom) non-BCS conference. I will give as much detail as you guys indicate you want on the MWC teams. NOTE: I do believe the WAC has quality teams, but the bottom feeders there would struggle in any conference, even the "Suck" Belt. For example, Utah State was in the Sun Belt for two seasons from '03 to '04, compiling a 5-9 conference record. So the WAC brought in a team that couldn't get to .500 in the Sun Belt. I'd take UNLV or SDSU any day.
After posting the rankings and MWC preview, I plan on highlighting the 10 "statement" games for 2008 for mid-major teams, where teams from the smaller conferences play BCS foes in a chance to make a statement about their quality. I will also highlight the 10 "pecking order" games for 2008, where mid-majors clash in a chance to establish the order of superiority of these "inferior" conferences. Basically, I plan on highlighting the stuff ESPN forgot about/didn't care to tell you.

  3. I don't want to see any bias. I want true, straight forward analysis.

  4. I want to see bias. I want you to say that my team is the best ever and they will crush the BCS. Why else would I read it. If I wanted a "realistic" analysis, I would go and read ESPN.
