www.mwcconnection.com/2015/4/15/8421985/the-oh-so-early-bold-predictions-for-2015-mountain-west-footballBold Prediction 3: San Diego State will win the West The West division winner will be the Aztecs. Last season the Aztecs finished 7-6 and had opportunities to upset North Carolina and Boise State on the road D.J. Pumphrey is a player of the year candidate with the potential to rush for 2,000 yards. They have two transfer quarterbacks from Oregon and Kentucky respectively. The sky is the limit for the Aztecs this season but the offensive will be the reason it either wins or lose the conference. The defense will be fine, Rocky Long's defense will always be ready to play. The defense will play its game and the offense will do enough to win 9 games and win the division.

IT IS NOT A BOLD PICK TO SAY THE AZTECS WILL WIN THE WEST THIS YEAR.

IT IS NOT A BOLD PICK TO SAY THE AZTECS WILL WIN THE WEST THIS YEAR. agreed ... Aztecs should be picked to finish 1st in just about every sport in the MWC -- and definitely should be expected to be a title contender in every sport every year.

If any of our QBs is even average we can win the west.

I expect to win the West; beat at least one of either Cal or Penn State; win 10 games; go to a bowl game and win it.
Those are the expectations. No more excuses.

So we will win 9 games according to this publication. That means we will only lose two games ( Penn St and CAL) since the USD game doesnt count. Even Rocky would have a difficult time believing this.. LOL.. #No More Excuses# #We are one QB from going undefeated#

IT IS NOT A BOLD PICK TO SAY THE AZTECS WILL WIN THE WEST THIS YEAR. Correct. Over the past 2 years we've been just a play or two, or 9 blown calls by incompetent refs, away from winning the West. And we should be better this year.

I think we have a good opportunity to showcase what we have, but QB and secondary play will be pivotal. I think our conference schedule is similar to the last two years. We lose one good game with BSU for two potential good games with CSU and USU, and the OOC is good. I am eager to see how the coaching changes will play out. I say at least 7 wins (or 6) even if we have growing pains with coaching and new QB.
HOME IN BOLD
USD- Win Cal- Loss SOUTH ALABAMA- Win 1 Penn State- Loss FRESNO STATE- Win 2 Hawaii- Win 3 San Jose State- Win 4 UTAH STATE- Loss Colorado State- Win 5 WYOMING- Win- 6 unlv- Win 7 NEVADA- Win 8
And I give us the one game handicap so one of our wins can be a loss.

Every sport should be in the top 20 IMO.

I could be wrong, but the USD win (yes, I'm ass-u-ming) still counts as a "win" right? It just doesn't help us in the effort to get the number of D-1 wins needed to earn a bowl bid, correct? Also Christian Heyward is destined to go off on his old teammates and get 6 sacks in the "Cal-stinkin-Berkeley" game, so you can count that as a win as well.

We will beat Utah State at home. We will win one of the games OOC that you have as losses. If above is true, which I think it will be, we will host the MWC championship game and win. If the above is true we will play in a New Years bowl.

As Rocky said in January . If we have good QB play , we will be a good team . Average QB and we will have an average team . so as with most teams . You go as far as your QB can take you . We need for at least one if not two of the QB's to shine . Want any chance to beat a quality team , we need a quality QB .
Interesting , they predicted good years from our Mountain opponents USU , Slow Pokes , CSU ( but they also have a new QB and Coach ) . We do get 2 of them at home .so maybe better home games then we thought.

Win 9 Lose 3 and win a bowl game! I would be ok with that so long as we win either Cal or Penn State and win the MWC. But that would put us at 10-3 with the Win at the Q for the MWC Championship.
