AP and Coaches poll have no Mountain West teams
The latest AP and USA TODAY coaches poll do not feature a Mountain West team once again. There are three teams earning votes in each poll with Utah State making the biggest jump as they are two spots out of being ranked in both polls.
San Diego State is right behind the Aggies and then Fresno State is third in the pecking order of the Mountain West teams. It seems like a matter of time before one Mountain West team gets ranked, and it could be as early as next week, nad it could be multiple teams if things fall a certain way from those currently in the polls.
Onto the rankings.
