At this point in the season, the Mountain West could be the most interesting college football league.
It seems to be holding on after a lot of schools left for the new and not always better Pac-12. It also secured a lot of other parts for the future and is now trying to get a few more schools, like Toledo and Northern Illinois, to join in on the fun.
Meanwhile, UNLV and Boise State look like the two best teams outside of the Power Four.
Bronco RB Ashton Jeanty could win the Heisman, and the season has gotten off to a strange start, with teams like San Diego State, Colorado State, and Nevada starting to get back on track.
Finally, there are the huge bombs. Air Force and Wyoming have been shockingly bad, and Utah State still has not recovered from a rough summer.
Get ready, though, because the second part of the season is going to be a whale. The two powerhouses are going to meet twice. Here are our halfway picks for every game.
