Athlon Sports not high on the WAC in 2008
Thursday, June 19th, 2008The WAC has been the staple for the top non-BCS teams in the past few seasons, but it seems that the popular Athlon Sports does not see the WAC as a top-tier conference in 2008. Despite Boise State (2006) and Hawaii (2007) both having undefeated regular seasons in the past two years, the WAC is ranked #10 of 11 conferences for the 2008 football season by Athlon. Only the Sun Belt is rated lower than the Western Athletic Conference meaning the MAC (#9), Conference USA (#8) and the Mountain West (#7) are all above the WAC.
While Athlon Sports does not publish their magazine online for all to see, fans can find WAC team previews for the upcoming season in the 2008 college football preview from College Sports Fans.
