One of the first traditions the college football staff at The Trentonian began in 2007 was a yearly list of picks. The list grew from BCS bowl games and a national champion to include Heisman contenders and champions of every conference -- forcing us to go out on a limb and boldly tell you who we think will win the MAC, Sun Belt and Conference USA.

So with a limited amount of space in this year's college football preview section -- and with Trentonian U having just been launched -- it was only natural to make the yearly picks a blog exlusive.

Without further adieu, the Trentonian U picks:
