THE RFC MYC: Mountain West Conference (FBS Group Of Five)

Mountain West Conference (FBS Group Of Five)


Overview: After a 2020 season that was cut short due to COVID-19, the Mountain West Conference (MW) had a somewhat normal 2021 season, with eight of its 12 squads qualifying for postseason play last fall. Utah State (11-3 overall in 2021) crushed San Diego State (12-2 in 2021) by a convincing margin of 46-13 to win the conference championship on December 4. Both teams, however, would go on to win their respective bowl games, with the Aggies outlasting Oregon State, 24-13, to win the inaugural Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl, while the Aztecs bounced back to beat UTSA, 38-24, on December 21, to win the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl.

As for the other bowl-eligible teams in the Mountain West, there were mixed results among the remaining teams, with Air Force (ServPro First Responder Bowl), Fresno State (New Mexico Bowl), and Wyoming (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) winning their respective contests, Nevada falling to Western Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl, while Boise State (Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl) and Hawai'i (Hawai'i Bowl) both had their games canceled due to COVID-19.

With the 2022 season still to come, it'll be interesting to see how the upcoming campaign will shape up for the Mountain West Conference, as both San Diego State and Utah State hope to earn a return visit to the MW title game in December, while Air Force, Boise State, and Fresno State will look to make their own cases for winning a conference championship this fall.
