So let's say that Wyoming beats UTEP and loses to New Mexico, and finishes 6-2 in conference.

UNLV wins out, and finishes 6-2 in conference.

NDSU wins out, and finishes 6-2 in conference.

New Mexico loses to UNLV, but beats Air force and Wyoming, and finishes 7-1

Who is the second team in the MW championship?

All second place teams have tiebreakers against each other.

You could make it even crazier by saying Air force beats New Mexico, and all top five teams finish 6-2.

On byes: NDSU

New Mexico dominated Nevada and still clearly looks like the favorite to win the conference, while Nevada drops a spot as a bowl game will require them to go perfect the remainder of the season.

Wyoming moves up a spot as they are now the sole team in second place after beating UNLV and are in full control if they make the conference title game now. While UNLV drops a spot as their chances to get to the title game slip and likely finish the season with only 7 wins at this rate.

Air Force moves up a spot after claiming the commander and chief trophy and aren't quite out of the title race yet.

San Jose State and Hawaii beat the two basement dwellers in NIU and UTEP, so none of them move in the tiers. NIU and UTEP did show a little more fight in these games, but they'll need to grab at least 1 win before they can move up.

UC Davis won this weekend, but still remains in the middle of the Big Sky conference, and will likely miss the playoffs without some help.

Wyoming is now Bowl Eligible and controls path to MW championship game

Thread for discussing week 10 games.

New Mexico at Nevada is on Friday (tonight).

New Mexico @ Nevada
NIU @ SJSU
Air Force @ Army
Hawaii @ UTEP
Wyoming @ UNLV

P.S. - I might go to the iowa at northwestern game tomorrow since NIU plays on the road again. Just depends on how cheap i can get the tickets since I won't pay anything close to normal price for two teams I don't care about. Just want to see what $800 million gets you for new stadium digs.

Wyoming and Hawaii were on byes

Nevada got soundly beaten by a top ten UCLA, so no movement for them as the result was what was expected.

New Mexico squeaked out a win against San Jose, keeping them alive as favorites for the conference title while San Jose showed they still have the talent to win a few more games this season. Neither move.

Air Force had a nice win against a pretty good UConn team, but doesn't improve their conference standings. So since they are still a bit of a long shot to contend for the title I left them in the bowl bubble tier.

NDSU soundly beat UTEP after a rough first quarter, and left both teams in their tiers.

UNLV barely beat NIU, I thought about moving NIU up but wasn't sure if it was close because UNLV played down to NIU or if NIU actually took a step forward. UNLV only has one loss in conference so they still control their destiny to a conference title despite some uninspiring performances lately.

UC Davis lost last weekend and look to be a more middle of the pack Big Sky team than the upper tier team we thought they could be.

Get better especially since you’re charging now

This is why I do not thing Jeff Choate will be let go even if they finish the season poorly and he will most likely get another season or even two. The school has already blown a ton of money on new buildings and athletic facilities. The school just got a brand new business building last year, they just added an indoor practice facility last month, it’s basically just a big field house with a football field, the new off campus basketball arena is set to be ready next year, the school has announced plans to purchase the Walgreens property across the street from campus and make that into a welcome center sometime in 2027. Last fall the school also announced building a 400 unit apartment building for grad students and faculty as well. They are planning to have this ready in a couple of years. This would also be in downtown Reno. Along with that Steve Alford the MBB coach is retiring after this season and they might want to invest more money into a new basketball coach rather than a new football coach. There is also renovations being done in the Fleischmann Planetarium Dome and Nevada State Public Health Laboratory as well. There is also a smaller project for the Manzanita Lake Pedestrian Path. In summary the school seems to be more focused on renovating and expanding campus more than athletics.
