How does this week look?
San Diego State keeps moving up in the latest Mountain West power rankings and it has to do with them keep on winning, and specifically topping Wyoming for a quality win.
So, for now, it seems that there is going to be a San Diego State vs. Boise State title game but there is still so much football to be played to say that will happen.
A few other changes this week see Air Force move up after a fairly convincing win over Fresno State and that pushed them to the top four. The Falcons have a few chances to climb as they face Hawaii this week and then Utah State, so there are chances to make a statement.
While Hawaii still seems to be a pretty good team, their loss to Boise State in Boise had the voters drop them from No. 2 to No. 6. The Warriors also have a chance to move up since they still have plenty of teams to play in the West and they host Air Force this weekend.
