BYU has one major OOC game left against FSU. TCU is looking real good against UVA coming up and we'll have to see once we get closer to the Clemson game. Utah handled Utah State and seems like they will be fine against Loiusville and the Ducks. Even the AFA look great, maybe this is the year they get over the Navy hump.

Will check back in after every week, but other than UNM and SDSU every other MWC team looked good.

Kudos to CSU for a good win at Colorado. The 12th will be pretty high-vis. Hope AFA does well against Minnesota and UNLV does the same against Oregon State. The rest of the games seem pretty much a given. TCU will beat UVA, BYU and Utah will roll. SDSU and CSU should have no issues.

On the dark side, its hard to see UNM beating Tulsa or WY coming up big over Texas but I hope both teams play hard.

Well, the non-conference part of the schedule is over for most of the teams now and it has been an overall good year for the MWC. CSU, BYU, Utah, and TCU all had solid wins over BCS teams and the losses by BYU and Utah were to teams that should finish out as good teams. Too bad AFA couldn't hang on and beat MINN and Utah couldn't do the same against Oregon.

Will revisit once we get closer to bowl time, hope at least 5 schools end up eligible and my best guess is that 6 will be bowl eligible.

Almost mid-season and the top 3 are ranked again. Will check back in after they play each other but it looks like BYU, Utah, and TCU will be the only ranked teams at season's end (and all three probably only if BYU and Utah win their bowl games).

All 3 ranked again. Will see how it plays out, but it looks like only 2 will be until after the bowls unless Utah beats TCU.
