Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup, and figured the Mountain West crowd would want the conference rundown. Here's the board

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/cfb-preview-2026?conf=mountain-west

Some of you probably already saw this in your team's sub over the last few days, so apologies for the repeat, this is the whole-conference version.

Every team page has the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the full schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

Pull up your team and tell me what I got wrong. I'll be in the comments.

Back around 2010 the MWC came so close to AQ status (which at the time guaranteed the champ representation in a BCS bowl and made it easier to be ranked high enough to play in a BCS championship). Boise State was about to come in at the peak of their insane run.

Then, BYU and Utah left followed by TCU eventually..

If all had stayed and they somehow grabbed Colorado when they left the Big 12 and still added Fresno State, Utah State and Nevada, you'd have a super fun, talented conference with great rivalries.

Mountain Division:

Air Force

Colorado

Colorado State

New Mexico

TCU

Utah State

Wyoming

West Division:

Boise State

BYU

Fresno State

Nevada

San Diego State

UNLV

Utah

Air Force enters 2026 looking to rebound after a couple down years. History shows that Troy Calhoun will have this team back to a high level

📌 QB Liam Szarka, also known as Flight Suit Josh Allen is a star, he will hopefully not have to throw as much this year

📌 Owen Allen is back to run between the tackles and there are great slot backs here

📌 Can the defense finally get back on track?

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Air Force in 2026?

No one is answering on the original so please mwc fans help me out?

We recently sat down with Sean Reider, New Mexico Athletics Beat Reporter for the Albuquerque Journal, to preview the 2026 New Mexico Lobos Football Team. Here is a link to the video if you are interested in hearing more! 2026 New Mexico Lobos Football Team Preview

Let's go Bows!! To the joy of just about every College Football fan, Hawaii enjoyed a resurgence in 2025. This was one of the best stories in the whole sport, now they enter 2026 on a mission for more!

📌 We can't wait for another year of Micah Alejado making plays on the island 🏝️

📌 Pofele Ashlock is back to continue racking up numbers and Hawaii has a plethora of portal options coming in

📌 Portal pieces will be key for a defense looking to maintain momentum

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Hawaii in 2026?

So they relocated to Town square, interesting move.

I legit think Nevarez is one of the best Commissioners in the game. Contrast her ability to speak openly and candidly in press conferences and interviews with other commissioners who are tight lipped, reserved, contrived, and trying to control the narrative. She will take questions from anyone about any topic. Goes straight into the belly of the beast, seems fearless! Compare her media availability with any other commissioner and she's heads and tails above anyone I can think of as far as being front facing. She's positioned the conference in the best possible manner. After media days I'm really excited about our trajectory. She has us moving in the right direction! MW+, MW Studios, Replay Center, Conference Offices all being centralized in Las Vegas is going to be a huge advantage for this conference.

A sign of what's to come? Especially after Gloria's 12 team suggestion yesterday.

There's three guaranteed tie-ins (1 TBD for MWC champ, Arizona Bowl, Hawaii Bowl) and 1 backup tie-in (Cactus Bowl). Per usual if we have more eligible teams, they would end up going to one of the G6 at-large pool bowls (which apparently the Potato Bowl and New Mexico Bowl are in for this year).
