The Wiz of Odds

Idaho

Robb Akey's rebuilding project enters Year 3 at Moscow. Much of the blame for a 2-10 record in 2008 can be traced to the defense, which gave up at least 40 points nine times, including a 70-0 loss at Arizona. The nonconference schedule features a road game at Washington and home games against San Diego State, Northern Illinois and Colorado State. A reminder to click poster images for an enlarged view.

Texas Tech

The Red Raiders get an early Big 12 test with a Sept. 19 game at Texas. That game was scheduled for Nov. 7 but was moved so it could be broadcast nationally. It could be a tough spot for Mike Leach's team, which is replacing quarterback Graham Harrell and receiver Michael Crabtree, stars of the Red Raiders' 39-33 victory over the Longhorns last season. That was the highest-rated broadcast of the 2008 regular season on ABC and fourth-highest in the network's history of covering college football. Thanks to Paige! Poster designed by Jared Stanley.
