Don’t let the cynics fool you. Though winning the Mountain West, or even the Mountain Division, looks more unlikely as San Diego State and Boise State continue winning, CSU’s football team still has plenty to play for this season.
Most immediately, seniors on this team have the chance to put a beating on Wyoming Saturday in the final Border War of their careers.
Perhaps even more meaningful is that they could also finish their last season at CSU two games above .500 if the Rams win out. None of the their upcoming opponents – Wyoming, UNLV, New Mexico or Fresno State – are anything like that MW juggernauts and Power Five teams CSU has faced in the first eight games the season.
