Non big conference teams that are well coached like Fresno State, Boise State, Utah and maybe Florida Atlantic are interesting plays thru about half of the season. Or rather until they no longer cover or (if an underdog) win. About half way thru their lack of depth gets to them. Note that Fresno & Boise play each other late in October.

So, I would make plays on these 4 until they 'fall off.'

It' s important to be be aware that some big time coaches are not very good, but are saved by their team depth and overall player material. Will make the UCLA - Washington game more interesting, right?
