Colorado State, coming off a greatly improved season, went out and got themselves a heck of a head coach in Mike Bobo, and his presence will see immediate results, especially on offense. The Wolf Pack have been teasing fans for several years now, and this could be the season they come together and make a run in the West Division. Nevada wants more than the Fremont Cannon this year.

There is no regular season game between the Pack and the Rams this year, so when and if they meet in this championship game, there will be some adjustments to be made as the game goes on for both coaches. Should be a fun game to watch, with some great matchups between the CSU offense and Nevada defense.
