Week 1 saw some interesting results which saw San Jose State nearly fall to Portland State at home, so they actually get the boot this week from the projections. In their place we insert 2-0 Nevada Wolf Pack after a 38-14 win over Texas State.
The top of the conference might get a little shake up with Boise State never really being in it against Oregon State as was the same story to San Diego State as they lost their first-ever game at SnapDragon Stadium to Arizona…. or the new Portal King Arizona Wildcats as the new players in Tucson stepped up big.
Utah State’s 55-0 loss to Alabama doesn’t change much for their projections because that game was never going to be close, plus quarterback Logan Bonner was taken out to avoid a snapping in half by Will Anderson or other Crimson Tide defenders.
