COLORADO STATE 38, UNLV 17: The Rams will earn bowl eligibility with an easy season-ending win at the expense of the Rebels. A rough year for former Utah offensive coordinator Mike Sanford. There's little evidence his band of transfers will be that much better in 2006.

SAN DIEGO STATE 24, WYOMING 21: This is an intriguing final MWC game. The Aztecs have been one of the more inconsistent teams in the league but have been good enough to take care of the Utes and Cougars. Tom Craft plays for his job today.

BYU 34, UTAH 21: Tough to figure a spread on this game. Much depends on the first quarter. If the Utes can score 14 points early with Ratliff, game's on, and the affair should prove entertaining and could go down to a Dan Beardall field goal. If the Cougars get to 14 first and hold down the Ute offense or get turnovers like they've done in the past three games, the 10-point Las Vegas spread will go by the wayside in short order.
