Boise State was a near-unanimous pick to win the Mountain Division this season in voting by the media, the Mountain West announced Tuesday at its annual media days at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Defending MW champion San Diego State was a unanimous pick to win the West Division, setting up a potential showdown of 12-0 teams in the conference title game, which would give the winner a shot at the CFP.
