It’s all conference, all the time for the MWC from here on in. Air Force has a game with Army later on, but otherwise, a quick glance shows not a single out of conference game from here on in. Which is cool, because it means we get games that count more, and I only have to deal with 4 games a week. Awesome.
2 PM
New Mexico (0-1) at Wyoming (1-0)- Wyoming is picking up steam, beating UNLV at home then Florida Atlantic way out on the road. 0-5 New Mexico looks like the perfect way to keep a streak going.
6 PM
Utah (0-0) at Colorado State (0-1)- Somehow, CSU got BYU, Idaho, Utah, and TCU all in a row. With the Vandals surprising everyone, that turned into a brutal four game stretch, and the Rams are 0-2 so far. Getting even one win out of Utah or TCU would be a big triumph. The key for CSU is to get through this stretch, then refocus on winning the games they can get in conference and still get bowl eligible. This will be a good test for Utah as well- they haven’t played well on the road yet, even against San Jose State. If CSU comes out firing, they might have a chance.
7:30 PM
TCU (0-0) at Air Force (2-0)- Air Force is 3-2 for the year, with both losses being close games against above average teams. They might even give TCU its toughest game yet, but TCU hasn’t given up more than 14 to a 1-A opponent, and the Falcons offense hasn’t been potent in the last couple weeks. I think TCU should win this comfortably.
10 PM
(the separate time headers make more sense in leagues with more games happening)
BYU (1-0) at UNLV (1-0)- BYU has never lost to UNLV in Vegas. Never. Combine that with UNLV reeling after losses to Wyoming and Nevada, and you should be looking at a big win for BYU. UNLV still has a chance to compete for a league bowl berth, but this probably won’t be where they launch any kind of run.
