The biggest picture of all.

There are a number of preseason projection systems which take aim at identifying the teams most likely succeed ahead of a season, from Bill Connelly’s SP+ metric to Brian Fremeau’s FEI, but only one includes every single system out there to provide a snapshot of the season from week to week.

The Massey Composite includes 30 different rankings, not just SP+ and FEI but also Sagarin, ESPN’s Football Power Index, old BCS-related rankings like Billingsley, and many more. With so many different perspectives on the college football landscape, how does the Mountain West compare to the rest of the country?

34. Boise State
40. Air Force
50. Fresno State
51. San Diego State
61. Utah State
84. Nevada
92. Wyoming
97. San Jose State
106. Hawaii
107. Colorado State
117. UNLV
126. New Mexico

While the combined rankings may not contain too many surprises, that doesn’t mean there’s an overwhelming consensus. For instance, four different Mountain West teams — Boise State, Air Force, San Diego State, and Utah State — land in the top 25 of at least one ranking within the composite. Conversely, five other teams — Colorado State, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, and UNLV — project as a bottom-ten team somewhere.
