Mountain West Predictions 1. TCU Horned Frogs- TCU brings back a lot of talent from a team that finished the regular season 12-0 in 2009.

Big East Predictions 1. Pittsburgh Panthers—Pitt is coming off its best season in nearly 30 years, but the program is far from satisfied, considering it blew an excellent opportunity to win the league and play in a BCS bowl last season.
