PrintThe conference slate starts early in the Mountain West and this game will have implications on post season bowl play. Both teams are 1-0 in the fan vote, BYU over Washington and the assumed non-voting of Air Force over Northwestern State.
BYU has always had the edge on Air Force for the longest time, but this could be the year that Air Force moves out of BYU's shadow; well for at least one year. BYU will have all ready had a test against Washington whereas Air Force would have romped their FCS foe. This game should be a very good matchup with the diverse styles of play, and my early prediction has Air Force finally beating BYU for the first time since 2003.
BYU is ranked 45th while Air Force is 42nd in the Sporting News top 100. The game is on Versus and kick is at 4p.m. eastern time on Saturday September 11th.
Voting lasts 24 hours and will begin everyday at 11am mountain time.

byu coming in fourth place this season.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Fedor: He once had an awkward moment in the cage, just to see what it feels like. Sharks have a week dedicated to him. He would show his feminine side if he had one. He is a lover, not a fighter, but don't get any ideas. He is the most important man in the world. Stay thirsty my comrades b/c i will never fight in the UFC. Sorry Fedor but in America Budweiser is the King of beers and Lesnar is a clydesdale while Fedor is just a mule. Losing to Werdum proves what i have been saying. He is pudgy and is on the donwnside of his career just like his contemporaries in pride like mirko cro cop and noguiera Beat Lesnar, Carwin. JDS, Velasquez or Overeem and i'll be impressed. Just one of them. College Football is still the best sport out there.

It's too late for me to vote, but I am shocked that AFA won this poll.
Besides the fact that there are more BYU fans, BYU owns AFA.
During the Mendenhall era, BYU has beat AFA by at least two touchdowns all five years. For whatever reason, BYU always matches up well with AFA.
it was on a holiday
So that was my fault and the numbers were limited. Even though BYU has smoked AFA the past few years I think this is the year the Falcons can win it.
