The Mountain West does not have any teams ranked in the latest college basketball polls, but both New Mexico and Colorado State are getting recognized.
The Rams are 3-0 on the year and being undefeated is not why they are getting votes this week, but it has more to do with their first opponent in the year which was Northern Iowa.The Rams defeated the Panthers to start the year, but they have gone on to defeat a solid Stephen F. Austin team, but more notably they knocked off No. 1 North Carolina over the weekend.
Transitive property is dumb to use in sports but the Rams win is looking better as Northern Iowa is looking like a very good basketball team.
