Also, BYU was ranked 24th in the Preseason Coaches Poll:

24. Brigham Young (10-3)

Points: 178. Previous ranking: 21. Outlook: The offensive line needs some retooling, but the Cougars get back standout QB Max Hall, RB Harvey Unga, WR McKay Jacobson and TE Dennis Pitta. DL Jan Jorgensen paces an experienced front seven with CB Brandon Bradley helping to anchor the secondary. Opener could answer many questions. Opens: Sept. 5 vs. No. 3 Oklahoma at Arlington, Texas (ESPN, 7).

TCU and Utah also make the list at 17 and 18 respectively.

I think

it’s a really big deal that the MWC has three teams in the preseason Top 25. This should really be happening pretty much every year.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

…we could figure out a way to add Boise St., Fresno St. and/or Hawaii to the conference. ANy combination of those three schools(especially BSU) would really help solidify the Moutain West as a legitimate football conference IMO.
