Prior rankingsPreseason | Week 0 | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7

12. Nevada (PV: 12)

The Wolf Pack did receive some votes higher than 12th but not enough to move them out of the basement after getting its first win.

11. San Diego State (PV: 8)

This is what happens when you score zero points and lose to one of the worst teams in all of college football.

10. Hawaii (PV: 11)

This defense is really struggling and allowed San Jose State to score at will.

9. New Mexico (PV: 9)

There is some promise with the Lobos as we enter the second half of the Mountain West season.

8. San Jose State (PV: 10)

Hey! Kariee Robinson showed up in back-to-back weeks. Get him going and the Spartans could spoil some team’s season.

7. Utah State (PV: 5)

Not a great return to the lineup for freshman QB McCae Hillstead.

6. Colorado State (PV: 6)

Rams aren’t there yet and it showed in the loss to UNLV. They hold a team to six field goals but can’t get the win.

5. Boise State (PV: 7)

Just give the ball to Ashton Jeanty every time, OK?

4. UNLV (PV: 4)

The Rebels were tested against Colorado State who is OK, but Fresno State this week is the real test to see if UNLV is a conference contender.

3. Fresno State (PV: 3)

Just chugging along and they have a chance to create some separation for the conference title race if they can get past UNLV.

2.  Wyoming (PV: 2)

With the expectation that running back Harrison Waylee the Cowboys are back to full strength.

1. Air Force (PV: 1, 11 first-place votes)

Well… Zac Larrier is back after an injury that was to keep him out for awhile. The QB is who the Falcons need if they are wanting to win its first ever Mountain West title, and possibly more.
