Ranking the Mountain West teams heading into this weekend's games. (Previous ranking in parentheses.)
1. FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS (1)
If last Friday’s 38-30 comeback win over UNLV is any indication of what the MWC race is going to be like, it should be a wild sprint to the finish. The Bulldogs (4-1, 1-0) moved up from No. 22 to No. 18 in the AP poll, despite struggling with the winless Rebels (0-4, 0-1).
Next: Hawaii on Saturday at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu (9 p.m., CBS Sports Network)
