This will act as both the game week thread, and the game day thread.

As I was saying in the prior thread, I think these teams are equal in terms of prestige, but Fresno State has had more years to mine this type of B list talent that the new Pac will be able to land. So, they’re probably the superior program at this point. Thinking we would beat Cal was laughable given the talent gap between their conference an ours and also our coach and theirs? Seemed like easy money with that line.

No line this morning for the game, but I’m thinking something ugly.

Fresno State 45, Oregon State 21.

Let’s hear what everyone is specifically looking for, in terms of team growth and preparation, tomorrow night.

The line has the Beavs favored, but I don’t see why that should be so.

Cal 37, Beavs 21

The greatest time of the year, autumn, is almost upon us. Let’s hear what everyone is looking for this fall.

Have at it, and goooo Beavs.

This is going to be mediocre football, but it’s technically FBS, and the Beavs could be a big fish in a small pond if they play their cards right. This is nothing to get excited about, but then again, nothing to do with NCAA football these days is very exciting. I’m curious to hear peoples’ thoughts on the financial side of this, and whether they think the Beavs can in fact become the big fish in the small pond.

The final teams:

Oregon State
Washington State
Boise State
Utah State
Colorado State
San Diego State
Fresno State
Texas State
