The top three of the WAC (Boise State, Hawaii, Fresno State) can play with any team in the nation, and they've proven this year in and year out.
Boise: Has destroyed Oregon State the last couple of years, and dominated a great Oklahoma team (with the best RB in the NFL this year). The only reason the game was close was because Boise let Oklahoma back in. 1 loss in the last two years
Hawaii: Beat a very good Arizona State team in the Hawaii Bowl last year, one of only two undefeated teams this year. Recent wins vs. Purdue and Alabama, to name a few. Everyone gives them a hard time because of their strength of schedule, but Michigan and Texas pulled out of their games this year, opting to pay the penalty rather then face the Warriors.
Fresno: Will play anyone, anywhere, and are very competitive with anyone
Now, Hawaii may be untested, but a game against Boise State will show their true colors, otherwise Boise will win and deserve another spot in a BCS game
Any thoughts? Winner?

Game of the year? I don't know I'd go quite that far, but it should definitely be up there. Rivals.com ranked it No. 7 in their list of the best games left in the season a few weeks ago. My biggest worry is each team's defense. BSU showed they can score when they beat Nevada, but they exposed their week run D. I think it will be a classic game of whichever team has the ball last will win. I know I'll be staying up until midnight to watch it! Go Orange! Go Big Blue! Fight, Fight B-S-U!

It should be a decent game with a lot of scoring. With the great defense the WAC plays, it may be hard to tell by the final score if they were playing football or basketball. Hawaii barely beat La. Tech (a real powerhouse) & San Jose St. Their strength of schedule is 120 out of 120 teams.
Boise St. lost to Washington, last place in the Pac 10 and slid past powerful Nevada & New Mexico teams. (LOL)
Fresno St. played a good game against Texas A&M, a Big 12 bottom feeder, but still lost.
Each of these teams may play one tough game each year. If any of those teams were in the SEC, Pac 10, Big 10 or 12, they wouldn't win but 1 or 2 conference games per year.
Perdiction for Hawaii vs Boise St.
Hawaii 79
Boise St. 72 sure, best wac game of the year Don't listen to RB, he was dropped on his head when he was born.
Sure it will be a good game, definitely a high scoring game, but the OSU vs. UM game will be better. Don't get me wrong. Both teams are good, and should be in the Pac 10. No defense.
