Does each BCS conference have a legitimate BCS contender? Are there legit championship contenders in the non-BCS conferences like the Mountain West and the Western Athletic Conference?

Though they are the cream of the crop in the Big East, Dion Lewis and Pittsburgh are not legit contenders in the BCS conference and though Oregon is the class of the Pac-10, and likely to stay ranked in or around the top 10 all year because they will win most of their games, I don't think the Ducks are a legit contender.
The MWC and the WAC clearly have one legit BCS buster and those are TCU and Boise State, respectively. 
Conference USA has a dangerous team in Houston. They are nearly ranked (a good pre-season spot for them) and if they get past UCLA in week three, they'll be ranked...
Here is our first attempt at a pre-season poll. The top 10 teams are probably pretty accurate for the most part, but after that, it's a crap shoot. Let's see what you think...
Whether we like it or not, the landscape in college football is about to change. Is this good for the game, that is the question.

California landed its next quarterback, Austin Hinder from Colorado, and ESPN called him a "Jeff Tedford guy" so for what that's worth these days.
Were guys like Hinder enough to climb Cal into the top 15 classes in the country?
One thing we know for sure is that Florida made a killing. Some people are calling this one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time. It is loaded with athletes from both sides of the ball, and Urban Meyer landed 17 players in the ESPN top 150, which includes the top recruit in the country, athlete Ronald Powell.
Texas, USC and Florida State each landed two five-star recruits (Florida had four). Texas got stud DE Jackson Jeffcoat and OLB Jordan Hicks, while got the best WR (Robert Woods) and the best OT (Seantrel Henderson).
The Seminoles, behind Jimbo Fisher, landed CB Lamarcus Joyner and ILB Jeff Luc.
The season is over, unfortunately. We will probably get into talking about recruiting, and recruiting classes, here pretty soon, but we're gonna wrap up the 2009 season with a few things.
Obviously Alabama is the top team, and Florida slots in right behind them. Texas actually drops to fourth somehow, with Boise getting a top three finish.
Check out how the rest shook down.

BCS National Title Game

BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

 

No. 1 Alabama v. No. 2 Texas: Three hours from now, the finale of the 2009 college football season will be under way in Pasadena, and this year's National Title game will get no complaints from me. Two teams, both 13-0, who are the most deserving of being in the title game.

Bowl Picks: GMAC Bowl

GMAC BOWL

 

Central Michigan v. Troy: Just a quick blurb on this one since it's retarded to have a non-BCS bowl game on Jan. 6.

When I asked Ben who he was picking in this game, he said LeFevour. That's about right. Dan LeFevour will be the difference in this game and he will end his 14-year college career with a bowl win and a 12-2 season.

Picks

Matt: Central Michigan

Ben: Central Michigan

ORANGE BOWL

 

No. 9 Iowa v. No.11 Georgia Tech: The deceptive, uncommon offenses, such as Paul Johnson's triple option at GT, can be very hard to prepare for, considering you do it just once a year. If anyone can be ready for it, it's the stout defense of Iowa.

Bowl Picks: Fiesta Bowl

FIESTA BOWL

 

No. 3 TCU v. No.5 Boise State: I have talked to a few people that think this is going to be a great matchup and that it's good for college football and all that stuff, but Ben and I couldn't disagree more. When you have a great team, like TCU (or Utah last year, or the 2006 Boise team) you want to see them play the big dogs, like those other two teams did. Boise is very good this year, but TCU is an elite team who could hang with Texas, Florida, Bama, etc...
