The Mountain West hasn't exactly had its greatest football seasons in the 2020s, with the luster falling off a few of its top programs like San Diego State, Utah State, Fresno State and (for like a season-and-a-half before last year) Boise State. Programs like UNLV and San Jose State looked like maybe they could step in, but this year so far isn't exactly looking stellar for just about anyone. Some teams are showing life, but those at the top of the preseason poll are not quite living up to the hype of maybe being in the College Football Playoff by season's end.
Let's dive into the Mountain West after Week 1, with the full complement of standings, power rankings, and the biggest risers and fallers following the first full week of college football in the west.
