College football season inches closer by the day, giving Fresno State fans license to let their imaginations run wild.

Yes, that could actually happen. No flights of fancy or high-powered telescope needed.
As things stand now, less than a month before the Sept. 1 opener, Fresno State has all the ingredients it needs to emerge in December as the highest-ranked Group of Five team in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
