1. Fresno State Bulldogs (1-0, 0-0)

Until something happens, Fresno State will be the top team.

They had an easy game against Cal Poly in Fresno, and while they had some concerns, that was to be expected in the first game of the Jeff Tedford era 2.0.

2. Air Force Falcons (1-0, 0-0)

But, the preseason expectations and excitement about Air Force looked real in Week 1.

Next up they face Colorado, and a 2-0 start would be magnificent for the Falcons.

3. Nevada Wolfpack (2-0, 0-0)

Yet, Nevada sits here at 2-0 with wins over New Mexico State and Texas State, respectively.

4. Boise State Broncos (0-1, 0-0)

The Broncos had the toughest matchup of the entire Conference with a game against Oregon State in Corvallis.

Take that loss with a grain of salt—this Broncos team is good.

5. San Diego State Aztecs (0-1, 0-0)

Arizona is much-improved from last year’s one-win squad, and the weather reached triple digits in San Diego—something the Aztecs aren’t used to at all.

Plus, a new quarterback getting into the mold is never easy. The Aztecs should be one of the top teams in MWC play.

6. Wyoming Cowboys (1-1, 0-0)

From here on out, it is a total crapshoot. The bottom half of the Mountain West is pretty bad.

So, the Cowboys get here by default with a 1-1 record. They defeated Tulsa but lost to Illinois, 38-6, in Week 0.

7. Utah State Aggies (1-1, 0-0)

Then, for some reason, they went to Tuscaloosa and got steamrolled by Alabama, 55-0.

We really won’t know the true state of this team until Week 4 when they face UNLV.

8. Colorado State Rams (0-1, 0-0)

What are these programs doing playing these College Football Playoff teams?

Nonetheless, the Rams scored just one touchdown in a 51-7 game, but it’s hard to tell where they belong thus far.

9. UNLV Runnin’ Rebels (1-0, 0-0)

Doug Brumfield threw for four scores for UNLV as the offense flexed its muscles, and Ricky White exploded with 8 catches for 182 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

This could be a different UNLV team than we are used to seeing.

10. New Mexico Lobos (1-0, 0-0)

But New Mexico is 1-0! Sure, but they played Maine and won 41-0.

The Black Bears had 118 yards of TOTAL offense, so this was easily a game New Mexico was supposed to win.

11. San Jose State Spartans (1-0, 0-0)

But they barely defeated Portland State in Northern California, winning 21-17.

That isn’t encouraging whatsoever, and Hawaii and San Jose State might be battling it out for the last place in the MWC.

12. Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors (0-2, 0-0)

They lost in Week 0 to Vanderbilt 63-10, then lost on the Island to Western Kentucky 49-17.

Next up? Michigan. Ouch.
