I wrote earlier this week in my Picking the Pac post that it’s easy to think of Nevada as the team that played at or near the top of the MWC for the last two decades rather than the more recent version that lost a coach to Colorado State and won two games last season. If you’re not paying attention, you could make a similar mistake about Boise State. The Broncos haven’t been bad, but have gone 5-2, -5, and 10-4 under Andy Avalos. They haven’t finished a season ranked since 2019 under Bryan Harsin and haven’t finished in the top 20 since Harsin’s first year in 2014.
The Prediction: Boise State
