There is finally some shakeup in our latest Mountain West power rankings due to conference play starting, but the biggest change came from an out of league game with San Diego State stumbling against South Alabama to suffer their first loss of the year.
That loss knocks San Diego State from a near unanimous spot to the third place in this poll, but at least one voter feels strongly enough to keep at least one first-place vote.
Boise State takes over that top spot and but in addition to San Diego State taking a first-place vote the Air Force Falcons also take a first place vote.
