Each week, Reno Gazette Journal columnist Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West football teams. Here are this week’s rankings, with each team’s overall record, its ranking last week, its result last week and next opponent and a brief comment.
1. Boise State
Rank last week: 1
Record: 1-0, 0-0
Last week: Beat Troy, 56-20
This week: vs. UConn
Comment: There was lots of good news in Boise State’s season-opening road rout of Troy, but the best was the form QB Brett Rypien showed.
