Colorado State Cons:

Recency bias leans Boise State because of their sustained success in football for the last few decades. They haven't exactly dominated the Mountain West like they did the WAC, however. Anyone who remembers Sonny Lubick knows the Rams can get things rolling again. The Denver market alone provides a much higher ceiling for Colorado State.
