    2024 Mountain West College Football Strength of Schedule Rankings

    By College Football News,

    14 hours ago

    There wasn't any movement in the Mountain West this year.

    There isn't any expansion, the conference didn't lose any teams, and now there's a lot more interesting considering the league should be a factor in the new College Football Playoff.

    Who has the toughest schedule in the conference, and who has it easiest?

    Here's how we do our college football Strength of Schedule Rankings, and they're admittedly self-serving. Where is each team ranked in our 2024 CFN 1 to 134 Rankings?

    That's the number. So if San Jose State is ranked 100th, a team gets a 100 points for a home game against the Spartans, and 50 - cut the score in half; obviously it's harder to play away from home - for road games.

    The lower the overall score, the tougher the schedule.
    Based on the same formula, we rank each team's games from toughest to easiest.
