Early Predictions: Colorado State Rams

The Rams will look to build off their success from first year head coach Steve Fairchild, as the Rams will try to go bowling again in 2009.

The Rams will need replacements to get back to bowl eligiblity.

Nevada The Wolfpack run the odd pistol offense, and they return their top two running backs and quarterback.

Idaho The Vandals were one of the worst teams in FBS and 2009 looks to be the same.

Wyoming The 'Border War' is always a tough game.

Air Force Another in state rival, but Air Force will have the experience at the play making positions.

Utah The Utes have to replace most of their offensive production from 2008.

BYU The Cougar offense return freshman wide receiver sensation McKay Jacobson who will replace Austin Collie.

TCU Andy Dalton returns for his third year as a quarterback with significant playing time.
