The Mountain West has had two down years as Boise St has taken a step back and no one else has stepped up to stake their claim as the nation’s Cinderella. Expect more of the same this year. There are some quality teams, but none that stand out. Should be a tight 3 way battle in the Mountain division and San Diego St should have no issues winning the West Division.
