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: As San Diego State continues to destroy teams, I ask this question: How did the Aztecs lose to South Alabama? The Jaguars are 1-4 in the Sun Belt with defeats to Troy, Georgia Southern, Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State (only Troy is above .500). Outside of that 18-point loss, SDSU is beating foes by an average of 21.1 points per game and have won its last two games by a combined 66 points.
