The second week of Mountain West football was not great and it showed in the polls with no team being ranked. The closest team coming into this week was Fresno State.
They were hosting an Oregon State team that we warned people about being sneaky good, yet they are still not ranked after topping Fresno State on the road with a gutsy going for the win on the road and not going for overtime.
Air Force is the other Mountain West team that should be ranked but they are still not yet there, for some reason. Two games in they have outscored their opponents 89-27. Yes, one was Northern Iowa but they smoked Colorado 41-10.
That beat down over a Pac-12 team allowed the Falcons to just be a team receiving votes in both the AP and coaches poll. Putting them just on the outside looking in.
