Also of interest is the fact that this is the last year for TCU in the conference. The way those Horned Frogs have stomped on their divisional foes you can bet that teams will be salivating at the chance to return the favour one last time (if they can). All in all there should be a lot of interest and intrigue in the MWC as Boise strives for an appearance in the BCS again, perhaps this time in the championship game.<\/p>\n You can tell by the odds just how much of a prohibitive favourite Boise State is this season. I assume that means oddsmakers see them winning against TCU but I think the more interesting things is whether the Broncos will beat Georgia to start the season. If they do they will be brimming with confidence but if they don\u2019t will they see the rest of their season as \u201cmeaningless\u201d, affecting their play. This team is returning a lot of talent but not as much as they had last season. Their key is QB Kellen Moore, only a few teams can say they have as much confidence in their signal caller.<\/p>\n The Aztecs may have had 4 losses last year but none were by more than 5 points. They also may have lost their head coach (Brady Hoke to Michigan) but they return their amazing QB\/RB combination and have some continuity as defensive coordinator Rocky Long was elevated to top job. The only thing holding this team back are the unknowns at the wide receiver position. Last year they had NFL prospects at WR but this year, especially due to early injuries, the position is a little thin. I think they will figure it out so even though they are a long shot, 12\/1 is decent value here given they have a scheduling advantage over some other teams. ![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/mountain-west-conference.jpg\" "\\"Mountain")
