2008 Mountain West Preview

Projected Standings:


BYU | 7-1 | 11-1
Utah | 7-1 | 11-1
TCU | 6-2 | 9-3
New Mexico | 4-4 | 5-7
UNLV | 4-4 | 6-6
Wyoming | 3-5 | 4-8
Air Force | 2-6 | 5-7
San Diego St | 2-6 | 4-8
Colorado St | 1-7 | 2-10

Predictions:

- BYU and Utah will square off on November 22 with the conference championship on the line. Both teams have a shot at going 12-0, which would result in an Orange Bowl berth.

- Utah will upset Michigan in the Big House in the season opener.

- TCU will be the third dog in the conference title hunt after a bit of a dropoff last season.

- After an amazing nine win campaign in 2007, Air Force will fall back to the middle of the pack.

- Wyoming will be the next FBS team to lose to FCS North Dakota State. Head coach Joe Glenn will be fired, partially due to that game.
