Instead, Boise State had to settle for a berth in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas, where they took care of Utah 26-3.

The offseason then saw the Broncos jump ship to the Mountain West Conference, where they're hoping a higher level of competition will give them more credibility in the polls – and a better shot at playing in a significant bowl game this winter.

The oddsmakers at the Bodog Sportsbook, though, think it'll be a case of different conference, same story for the Broncos this season, as they're pegged at big 2/7 odds on the college football betting lines to win the MWC title.

TCU is seen as Boise State's biggest challenger at 7/2 odds, followed by San Diego State at 12/1, and Air Force at 16/1. Colorado State (25/1), Wyoming (33/1), UNLV (80/1), and New Mexico (150/1) round out the Mountain West Conference odds.

The high-powered Broncos are also available on the BCS odds board at 14/1 to win the national title game this season behind the arm of starting quarterback Kellen Moore. Moore is sitting at 16/1 odds to claim the Heisman Trophy this season.

The Broncos' OVER/UNDER total for the season has been set at 10 wins.
