MPC Computers Bowl: Fresno State vs. Virginia (18)

After rising as high as sixth in the rankings, Virginia didn't exactly have a postseason trip to Idaho in mind. The 18th-ranked Cavaliers hope to end a disappointing season on a positive note when they face red-hot Fresno State in the MPC Computers Bowl at Bronco Stadium on Monday afternoon. After opening this season with five straight wins for the first time since 1996, Virginia (8-3) appeared on its way toward a very memorable year. The perfect season, however, ended the next game at Florida State, and although the Cavaliers won four of their final six contests, the two losses came to Miami and Virginia Tech, leaving them with an 0-3 record against Top 25 teams.

Before this season began, Pat Hill (Fresno State Football Coach) claimed that this team was the best team he had ever coached. True as that may be, the story didn't change much for us Fresno State fans. Every year it seems that we have a shot at a bowl game, we choke on a conference game or two dashing all hope. Granted, Pat Hill is getting Fresno State some recognition by playing tough non-conference match-ups. But, when are we just going to win the conference? Are the Bulldogs biting off more than they can chew?
