In this video, I take a look at the Mountain West, which has been one of the most exciting leagues to start the college basketball season. In Colorado State, Utah State, San Diego State, Nevada, Boise State, and New Mexico, I see a whopping SIX (6!) potential at-large teams if things break the right way, which would be the most in MWC history, and more than some high-major conferences as well. With the top 6 teams all so close when it comes to advanced metrics, the entire Mountain West season should be an absolute blast, and you won't want to miss it.

    Great breakdown of the MWC. I enjoy the description of the conferences top teams. New Mexicos dominating win against a tough SDSU was a real eye opener!

    It’s about time somebody makes a video on how good the MW is this year. Also don’t sleep on San Jose state or Air Force, they both have a history of pulling lots of upsets in conference

    Brutal conference play. Every game is a battle. No gimmies on the schedule and loads of talent in the league.

    If UNM can figure out how to win on the road they'll win the conference. They have a ton of depth everywhere but the 5.

    Glad to see the mountain west flourish as a whole this season. I came across your video and definitely subscribed to your channel. Go Lobos! 🐺🏀❤️

    Great Breakdown this MW schedule is going to be a blender for many top teams but if we can at least keep 2 teams in the polls I can see 4 teams going dancing Keep up the great work Luv from Albuquerque NM brotha Go Lobos 🐺❤️

    Great video! Mountain west is going to be one of the best conferences to watch this season!

    Other than last year the MW usually does not do too good in the tournament. It will be interesting to see how they will do if they get 5 or 6 teams in this year.

    UNLV is a top team in the conference. Their record just doesn’t show that. Beat UNM, Boise, and basically beat Utah state.

    Posting nearly 2 weeks after this video was published which translates to 3-4 more games, The top 6 is a bloodbath when they play each other. Regardless of standing and ranking, the home team is winning nearly every contest. And, this competitiveness is extending beyond the top 6 mentioned in this video, too. Wyoming was considered part of the bottom 3 or 4 and is crashing the top half of the conference. And, every one of the others including SJSU, Air Force and UNLV are playing really tough, often losing by only a single point or basket to the higher ranked team. Top to bottom, the MWC is really tough this year, and especially for those schools that are at sea level like SDSU, SJSU and Fresno State, it's a real challenge to play road games at high altitude. No other conference presents this kind of physical challenge to member schools.

    this conference will just get better when the majority join Oregon State and Washington in the pac 12 while leaving out wyoming and san jose state. could get aac teams like memphis, north texas, utsa, tulane and wichita state on board as well

    My only complaint is calling the league a mid major. It’s a major conference. Not high major or power, but also not mid like A10 or CUSA or MVC.
