The first week of the College Football Playoff weekly rankings debuted today.
No Mountain West team was expected to be featured, and those expectations were accurate.
In a bit of a surprise, there were two Group of 5 teams featured. Tulane led the way at #19 and UCF rounded things out at #25. It’s probably fair to say that Coastal Carolina and Cincinnati would be considered ahead of any Mountain West team, with Boise State being the most likely team to be considered at this point. Stranger things have happened but don’t expect to see any MWC teams in the CFP rankings in the near future.
