In today's College Football Preview section, Chron sportswriter Fran Blinebury picks BYU to win the Western Athletic Conference title. That will be quite a feat, considering that BYU hasn't been in the WAC since 1999, when they and seven other schools left to form the Mountain West Conference. Thankfully, all his other picks for conference champion actually play in the specified conferences.

Of course, Rice is my team. They have their work cut out for them.
