Mountain West Midseason College Football Predictions: Every Game, Record, and Bowl Teams for 2024

The Mountain West might be the most interesting conference in college football at the midseason.

It appears to be surviving a slew of defections to the new and but-not-necessarily-improved Pac-12, it locked down a slew of other parts for the future, and it's pitching some serious woo at a few more schools - maybe Toledo and Northern Illinois? - to be part of the future fun.

Meanwhile, UNLV and Boise State appear to be the two best teams outside of the Power Four conference, Bronco RB Ashton Jeanty might win the Heisman, and overall it's been a quirky-weird start with a few teams - San Diego State, Colorado State, and Nevada - starting to find their footing.

And then there are the gigantic bombs - Air Force and Wyoming have been stunningly awful, and Utah State hasn't bounced back from its rough offseason.

But get ready, because we're about to have one whale of a second half of the season with the two powerhouses on a collision course to meet twice. Below are our midseason predictions for every game.
