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: In its five MW wins, SDSU's defense has scored three touchdowns and allowed only two, which is amazing. It's true SDSU hasn't played any of the "good" MW teams yet (that's really just a three-team list) but it's impressive nonetheless. The Aztecs have already clinched the West Division title and will play in the MW championship game but it has to win out for a shot at a New Year's Six bowl.
