Monday's Quick Slant: Preseason Prognostications 2010

It's almost here.

After months of talking about realignment and arrests and agents and investigations into shady living arrangements, the 2010 season kicks off on Thursday with a slate of games highlighted by a rematch of the 2005 Fiesta Bowl: Pittsburgh at Utah.

All I can say is: Thank goodness.

But, in advance of the start of the regular season, it's time to offer up some preseason prognostications for the division winners and the BCS title game:

ACC-Atlantic: Florida State
ACC-Coastal: Virginia Tech
ACC Champ: Virginia Tech
Big 12-South: Oklahoma
Big 12-North: Nebraska
Big 12 Champ: Oklahoma
Big East: Pittsburgh
Big Ten: Ohio State
C-USA-East: UCF
C-USA-West: Houston
C-USA Champ: Houston
MAC-East: Temple
MAC-West: Central Michigan
MAC Champ: Temple
MWC: TCU
Pac-10: Oregon State
SEC-East: Florida
SEC-West: Alabama
SEC Champ: Alabama
Sunbelt: Middle Tennessee
WAC: Boise State

BCS title game: Oklahoma wins over Ohio State

I also think Navy will finish with the best record of the three independent squads, but Army will make a bowl game at 6-6.

Additionally, I think Boise State loses two games this year. One of those losses will be to Idaho as a going away present from the Vandals.
