Each week, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West football teams. Here are this week's rankings, with each team's overall record, next opponent and a comment.
Comment: SDSU was off last week but moved up three spots to the No. 19 ranking in the AP Top 25. The Aztecs next travel to South Alabama, which beat Mississippi State in its opener and also has a win over Nicholls (it's lost to Georgia Southern and Louisiana-Lafayette). SDSU should roll over South Alabama, but the Jaguars did win in San Diego last season and has a road win over an SEC school, so it's no lock.
