(3) Boise State Broncos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is this the year the third-ranked Boise State Broncos make the jump from upstart, \u201csmall-conference\u201d school to national champion? Logically, it could be the next step. After all, Boise State went 14-0 last season and knocked off TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to get excited about the Broncos, who have enjoyed life in the Western Athletic Conference (49-4 record over last four seasons) but are excited for the bump up to the MWC next year. The high-octane offense, which scored 42-plus points per game last season, has all the pieces in place to go wild again.<\/p>\n

Kellen Moore is back under center and the team has all but one starter returning for 2010. He had an unbelievable 39 touchdowns versus just three picks last year \u2013 the best ratio in NCAA history. Moore has solid help around him, including receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young plus tailback Jeremy Avery, who rushed for over 1,110 yards last season. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

The Broncos aren\u2019t defensive slouches either, having allowed just 17.1 points per game a year ago.<\/p>\n

(10) Virginia Tech Hokies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some bettors consider No. 10 Virginia Tech the anti-Boise State. Whereas the Broncos love the run and gun offense, the Hokies routinely get it done with outstanding defense.<\/p>\n

Virginia Tech allowed just 15.6 points per game last year and boasted the nation\u2019s 11th<\/sup>-ranked pass defense. However, we have to ask ourselves if those defensive numbers mean anything this year considering the Hokies lost seven starters from last year\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

In fact, 2010 may be the year Virginia Tech transitions from a defense-first school to an offensive powerhouse \u2013 kind of like what we\u2019re seeing with the NFL\u2019s Baltimore Ravens. Hokies quarterback Tyrod Taylor is ready to take his game to new heights after a decent first season as a starter. He threw for 2,311 yards last season. Taylor also ran for 370 yards and has 18 career rushing touchdowns. He\u2019ll be a handful for Boise State.<\/p>\n

And what about the two-headed monster Virginia Tech has in the backfield? Darren Evans was the man in 2008, running for 1,265 yards. When he went down with a torn ACL last season, \u201cbackup\u201d Ryan Williams\u00a0 one-upped him, breaking the ACC freshman yardage record with 1,655 while running for 21 scores. Now, VT can use both these guys on hapless defenses.<\/p>\n

The pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n

This should be a fun one, as both teams have lofty goals this season \u2013 especially Boise State. I like the Broncos on Monday. While they\u2019re not playing at a true neutral site \u2013 Maryland\u2019s proximity to Virginia almost makes it a home game for the Hokies \u2013 the Broncos\u2019 offense could overwhelm the suddenly inexperienced Virginia \u201cD.\u201d The Hokies will get their points too but they won\u2019t quite keep up in what should be an entertaining season opener.<\/p>\n
