Fresno State can clinch a West Division title by beating San Diego State on Saturday night and book a spot in the Mountain West Conference championship game for a second year in a row.
But the Aztecs are not an easy mark, closer on the football field to the Boise State team that just beat Fresno State than to San Jose State or any of the first five Mountain West teams the Bulldogs rolled by an average score of 36.8 to 7.2.
The Bulldogs are a 15-point favorite on their home field, where they are 4-0 this season and 9-1 under coach Jeff Tedford.
