The first half of the conference schedule looks a little rough, yes 5 of those 9 games are at home but the stretch from Jan 17-31 with UNC, @ EWU, @ Idaho, Weber and Idaho State will be difficult. If they can figure things out for Feb and March, the schedule softens a bit where their biggest test would be at Sac and Portland.
I think the conference is going to be another battle like this year, only this time there really isn't a clear cut favorite.
