The poll this week is boring
In the latest edition of the Mountain West power poll is sort of boring, really. That is because there was only a single game in Week 0 which saw Hawaii top Arizona in a high-scoring game, 45-38.
Most of these rankings by are staff still have a heavy influence on the preseason projections and then some writers choosing to put a lot of emphasis on not only Hawaii winning but defeating a Power 5 opponent, regardless of how bad the Wildcats might.
Also, expect these to shake up quite a bit during the first few weeks. Just look at the first place votes from this week which has four teams earning consideration.
| Rank | Team | Division |
| 1. | Boise State (6 first-place votes) | Mountain |
| 2. | Fresno State (1 first-place vote) | West |
| 3. | Utah State (1 first-place vote) | Mountain |
| 4. | Hawaii (2 first-place votes) | West |
| 5. | San Diego State | West |
| 6. | Air Force | Mountain |
| 7. | Nevada | West |
| 8. | Wyoming | Mountain |
| 9. | Colorado State | Mountain |
| 10. | UNLV | West |
