Nevada, San Jose, Hawaii, they are getting worse. No doubt about it. La Tech has some talent, so does Fresno State and both Idaho and Utah State have made some big gains.

The WAC is holding BSU down. It would be nice to go to the Mountain West, but it wouldn't be all peaches and cream. the Mountain West has VERY poor television coverage. Boise has at least SEVEN games on ESPN. Utah has none scheduled to date (outside the Oregon game). Boise State markets itself much better than both the Utes or BYU.

Also, the MW does have some good teams now, but they are not very consistant. Before 2004, where was the MW?

This is a rebuilding year for Utah, just like last year was a reloading year for BSU. BSU still did alright, losing a close game (one point) to the best the MW could offer, and BSU only playing their 2s and 3s on the D line to boot.
