Murray's Mountain West football rankings
Each week, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West football teams. Here are this week's rankings, with each team's overall record, next opponent and a comment.
Comment: I have no idea what San Diego State was doing in non-conference play (when it was a below-average team) because it's been a wrecking ball in Mountain West action, with five wins in league play by an average of 21.8 points per victory. RB D.J. Pumphrey hit the 1,000-yard mark last week and is the frontrunner for MW offensive player of the year.
