I like UGA, Tenn, FSU and OU, BUT I'm going to drop some coin on UVA.
Fresno is a decent WAC team, no doubt. They are on a bit of a streak afterdrumming Hawaii, Rice SJSU and a couple others. They even beat Wash St and KSU early in the year.
On the flip side, UVA didn't perform well against FSU or UM (the VT score wasn't indicative of the game I saw, so I'll leave it out).
Both teams are well coached, so no real advantage there.
The factor that leads me to UVA is that when they play marginal talent, they shine. Take away their only 3 loses to teams that are constant BCS contenders and UVA's margin of victory in all the other games is over 24 pts per game with its lowest margin being its 16-0 victory over GT several weeks ago.
UVA's O-line will make the difference in talent transparent as they set the table for Lundy. Same goes for the UVA LBs that will be in the Fresno backfield for most of Fresno's running plays.
Sorry, bu 2nd tier WAC can't compete w/2nd tier ACC.
UVA will win by 3 TDs.
