ESPN analyst Greg McElroy believes Fresno State can make the College Football Playoff after winning the newly formed Pac-12 Conference<\/p>\n
McElroy predicted that the Bulldogs would beat Boise State at Valley Children\u2019s Stadium, thus winning the Pac-12.<\/p>\n
McElroy predicted on Aug. 27<\/a> and doubled down again on Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cIf there was a school I\u2019m rolling the dice on, it\u2019s Fresno State,\u201d he said on air. \u201cNo one is talking about them. I\u2019m telling you, they can pound the football. New Pac-12, they\u2019re gonna be able to run it on everybody. Boise will be a challenge, but they get them at home.\u201d<\/p>\n If his prediction comes true, he has the Bulldogs facing Texas in the first round.<\/p>\n Fresno State has a healthy Bryson Donelson back, along with Rayshon Luke. Together, the two running backs rushed for 1,302 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. If both are available, then there\u2019s a good chance his prediction could turn into a reality.<\/p>\n Related Stories from Fresno Bee<\/p>\n Anthony Galaviz<\/a><\/p>\n The Fresno Bee<\/p>\n Anthony Galaviz writes about breaking news\/sports for The Fresno Bee.
