Will Boise State’s Final Mountain West Season Be Their Most Dominant Yet—or the Start of a Downfall?
Change is the only constant in college football, and 2025 is poised to deliver a seismic shift in the Mountain West Conference’s landscape. As the curtain falls on this era—with teams like Boise State bidding a fond farewell to an unforgettable chapter—the conference faces a makeover that will send most of its powerhouse programs packing for the reformed Pac-12, while unfamiliar faces like Northern Illinois gear up to make their entrance. It’s a delicious paradox: while the future promises upheaval, the present feels like a comfortable re-run, with Boise State still pegged as the safe bet, UNLV nipping close behind, and dark horses like Fresno State, Air Force, and perhaps even Colorado State ready to stir the pot. But here’s the kicker: the Opta supercomputer’s TRACR model throws a curveball, mixing in the subtle alchemy of roster flux, recruiting grades, and strength of schedule to paint a picture that might not align perfectly with preseason chatter. So, as we unpack stats, stories, and standout players, the question lingers—can the Mountain West surprise us one last time before the realignment reshuffles the deck?
