Both of these teams finished the season playing well, but it was Fresno State who was a conference champion. Fresno State was missing their star quarterback for a portion of this year, but did not lose when he returned from injury. Washington State was able to beat up on some of the lesser competition in the PAC-12 in order to reach a bowl game, but their offense was able to put up good numbers this year. I like Fresno State in a close game here.
