PICK: I’m going to take Colorado State in this one. The Rams have a lot of people talking this year, and some say they could crack into the top 25 teams at some point. The blueprint for success is certainly there for the Rams; they’re returning around 93 percent of their minutes and have a handful of young pieces behind star junior David Roddy. If Colorado State can get right down to business in this opener and find some early chemistry I think they’ll start turning heads with a nice cover.
