Home School Fans Episode 1: Preseason Sizing Up Competition FSU - 2022 Pt. 6

    Evaluating Fresno State's strength of schedule and their chances. I predicted that they would go 10-2, or 12-2, or 10-4 this season, depending on their bowl game result, and possible conference championship game. They are picked 35th nationally and to finish 1st in the Mountain West West Division.

Here is who they play, and the pre-season rank according to Lindy's Sports:

Cal Poly (FCS, picked 11th of 12 in Big Sky)

Oregon State (43)

USC (22)

UConn (128)

Boise State (41)

San Jose State (88)

New Mexico (124)

San Diego State (69)

Hawai'i (121)

UNLV (115)

Nevada (112)

Wyoming (100)

    Whoa, a lot more teams north of double digits than I imagined. Is the Mountain West truly that weak? Five in their own conference in the 100s, plus Connecticut.

    To the San Joaquin state school's credit, they play Oregon State and the USC Trojans. Boise State should be tough, and then SDSU should be a contest.

    I wanted FSU to lose more so that BYU could catch up all-time winning percentage, but it looks as though the Bulldogs have a better chance of winning their games than the BYU Cougars. But wait, BYU will go undefeated.... BYU plays 4 top 15 teams, FSU only comes slightly close to that...

 We shall see.
