    I chose Oregon.

    That's the game where U Nation comes back to earth after opening up against what should be relatively walk over wins against USU and SJSU.

      Wait, didn't someone on here say that SJSU is always competing with Boise St. for the WAC championship year in and year out?

        How does Oregon's offense compare to last year? I am still impressed from watching them drop 65 on Oregon State, when the Beavers had won 8 of 9, had home field, and the mentality of win-this-game-and-we're-in-the-Rose-Bowl.

        Sly and his "our defense is even better than last year" D will have their hands full with the best offense any of them have faced.

          Their QB Masoli returns which is always a good thing. He is very athletic, runs really well and throws a nice ball. Blount who is the running back basically split carries last year and a is big and fast and was 2nd Team All Pac 10 as well as a really good tight end return. I do think that they lost a couple of O lineman though. Can't remember the depth they have at Wide Out. Jason Williams is gone which in my mind is a good thing. They usually have really fast athletic Wide Outs that are not named Jason Williams though.

            they are missing a ton of their O-line. I think that game will come down to our offense vs. their defense however.

              Strangely, I picked this game as well, but I saw it as the game that will propel us to back-to-back undefeated seasons

                  Oregon is the obvious pick, although there is some satisfaction in watching Kragthorpe continue to run Louisville into the ground.

                    Pretty good run down. There are a few options for WRs to pop out this year, Holland a USC transfer is the leading hype getter. Blount is a beast and is already being projected in some early 2010 mock drafts as a 1st rounder, he is a lot of fun to watch. Once a game or so he hurdles an unsuspecting defender and runs to pay dirt.

                    Oregon lost a ton on the OL and there is some concern there. I will say that at the spring game Masoli looked like he is a better passer than he ever showed last year and that could be a scary thing for defenses.

                    Not mentioned by HotLunch is Ed Dickson. A very good TE who was under utilized last year, and Chip Kelly has made many references to the fact that he will not be a forgotten man in the Oregon offense this year.

                      I have to say "none" because I'm still a little 'stitious. And with Utah currently on a 14 game win streak, it seems to be working.

                      Back in 2007 I realized that Utah lost the games I was watched on TV and won the games I attended in person or listened to on the radio -- except for the BYU game, but maybe it wouldn't have been close if I watched on TV. I watched the first half of the bowl game against Navy and things didn't go very well.

                      Since then I haven't watched any games live and the Utes are undefeated.

                        If there's one thing I've learned this off-season is that Utah is at the point now where they simply re-load.
