Yes, it possibly won't come into play if their loss comes to a team we beat- ie- Fresno or Reno... and before people get started, the MWC is beyond terrible behind UNLV and Boise. CSU is barely surviving against these teams, a loss will come

I agree, from what I have seen they aren't a good team and even with the mediocrity not good enough to win out.

What If’s?

So that nobody else has to click the link (with my opinion):

Florida (not a chance)
Arkansas (agree with 1986)
Baylor (the fanbase would want a better resume than 2 seasons)
West Virginia (fanbase would love his mentality; would face a tougher schedule overall at WVU = more losses)
Cal (the fanbase doesn't care about football)

GCU to the Mountain West

GCU has 20X as many students as St. Mary's and most likely 20X as many alumni!

True, but they are basically University of Phoenix that just started playing sports of any significant value.
St. Mary's has been a very good basketball program for a very long time. Thet are also in California. Small school, sure, but so is Gonzaga. They have a good brand.
GCU has potential, sure. But their numbers are grossly inflated by being a national online school, where the vast majority of students and alumni have little connection to sports teams.

Probably nit-picking here but the end of 3rd quarter hype the Rebels do dancing around the field is really odd, especially when you’re losing at the time. Heard some people behind me screaming at CBO about it after the team started the 4th quarter with some mental mistakes and a 3 & out… “Maybe the players should have been focusing on the game-plan instead of f’n dancing around!!”
If the point of this is to hype of the crowd, they should dump it. If we’re winning, the crowd doesn’t need to be hyped. If we’re losing, it’s just a really bad look. Meanwhile BSU started the 4th quarter showing they were all business.

Boise State did exactly the same thing during the game!

Great game, Rebs

WYNN or Dye

If CSU loses a game, and UNLV ends up playing BSU in the MWC championship, then we will be on even footing instead of two weeks rest for BSU compared to a short week for UNLV. My expectation is that UNLV will be ready and adjust the next time they meet!

Yes, but UNLV has to go to Boise. Where, outside conditions will be cold.
Will, we still be undefeated on the road, when we play for the MW Championship game in Boise?
I say, yes. That's, the only way we can. Go, 4-0.

Yes. Teams did the same thing vs us last year once the figured it out. Stack the box, slow the offense, put pressure selectively. Our blocked punts a defensive turnovers have helped make the field shorter and in turn increase our ppg. But in between those plays we re really slow down and unless it's a broken play or deep shot, we don't move the ball enough with the guys we have available

Last year UNLV got blown out of the water by BSU. This time it was bad calls by the refs, a poor decision interception, and some dumb penalties that lost the game for UNLV.

We have to win out and maybe that will earn us a trip to Boise for the title game.

UNLV without question can win out, but the CSU MUST lose at least one game! My feeling in the BSU v UNLV game was they had a huge advantage of two weeks to get ready for UNLV, while UNLV had a short week to get ready for BSU. I think UNLV will play much better if they get to meet BSU in the MWC championship game. If we play in the MWC championship game, I see UNLV winning by two TD's. I made no guess on the first game since I was worried about the lack of prep time for UNLV verse the two weeks for BSU.

Our current attendance is most likely a momentary illusion. I think we can do well with attendance until the traitors split away. But after that it will be almost impossible. New Mexico, AF , Wyoming and UTEP will not generate the interest needed to get to 40K. It will be back to the mid 20's ( AT BEST) - if we are winning. There could be a couple of OOC games that could generate attendance, but that will depend on where the P4 conferences go. If they completely split away from the have not's then we'll be truly in trouble.

Our new conference will be somewhat better than Conference USA - but not by much. Conference USA averaged 15,600 attendance last year. For us to get to the low 30's we'd have to double that. I don't see it.

The traitors leaving well and truly screwed us. However much you hate them, it isn't enough.

If you look at the best attended games at UNLV, they are BSU, unr, Wyoming and Hawaii. SDSU, Utah State, CSU and Fresno bring almost nobody to games in Las Vegas. The question will be more about what teams we schedule out of conference.

UNLV is still in position to get into the national championship playoffs. It depends on if Memphis wins out, including a game against Tulane, and also the same with Army. If they both lose, then CSU must lose a game, and then UNLV will be playing against BSU with the winner likely going to the playoffs. UNLV only lost one AP vote and still has 7 votes with the coaches poll. The BSU game didn't help UNLV, but it really didn't hurt them that badly either.

And if we make the CCG and lose to Boise, then we’d be heading to the LA Bowl as Boise would be in the playoffs (assuming they win out from this point on). LA Bowl is a step up from the other MWC tie in bowls.

Of course, this will all be a moot point if we don’t take care of our own business

I can't remember how many votes we had but I think we actually got more votes after the loss in both coaches and AP than we had before.

I think it went from 5 in week 9 to 4 in week 10 in the AP. Not sure about Coaches. But that's still pretty cool. Respect and recognition of two good teams, where even the loser wasnt penalized much

We think we'll be able to schedule a few quality OOC teams and we'll be O.K. But that is just $ 10 billion or so away from not being reality. I can see within two years the Power conferences entering into an agreement that they will take a huge pile of cash and part of the agreement will be they only play other Power conference teams.

If that's the case, none of this matters anyways.. there would no longer be any benefit for the G5s to stay aligned with the P4s.
