The favorites appear to be clear

Though the Mountain West Conference’s virtual media summit has been postponed, the conference has gone full speed ahead with the unveiling of its predictions for how the 2020 season, should it remain intact, will play out.

San Diego State and Boise State are expected reach the Mountain West championship as the winners of the West division and Mountain division, respectively. Despite the appearance of a wide-open race with so many stars for every team to replace, the picks were very nearly unanimous with only Nevada and Wyoming siphoning a combined three first-place votes away from the Aztecs and Broncos.

West Division

  1. San Diego State (19 first-place votes) — 122 points
  2. Nevada (2 first-place votes) — 100 points
  3. Hawaii — 74 points
  4. Fresno State — 73 points
  5. San Jose State — 43 points
  6. UNLV — 29 points

Mountain Division

  1. Boise State (20 first-place votes) — 125 points
  2. Wyoming (1 first-place vote) — 90 points
  3. Air Force — 86 points
  4. Utah State — 60 points
  5. Colorado State — 59 points
  6. New Mexico — 21 points

There isn’t much difference at the top between how the conference media foresees the season and how our staff predicted it would unfold yesterday, but there are some a little lower in the pecking order, most notably with Utah State and San Jose State.
