The Mountain West will not include its normal divisional format this year. Having said that, 29 of the 30 games normally played between division rivals will be played this year. The lone exception is Boise State vs. New Mexico.
The absence of Boise State vs. New Mexico means that:
• 8-0 New Mexico
• 7-0 Boise State
• 7-0 San Diego State
Is technically possible.
People have spent 7 years worrying about 3 SEC teams in the #CFBPlayoff and no one saw 3 MWC teams in the Playoff coming.

If you’re not a baseball fan, here’s why the Aaron Judge story is so heavily promoted in CFB terms. 🧵
—-
The New York Yankees are a team with a lot of money that hasn’t actually done anything in over a decade, so their fans are desperate to celebrate something. (Texas)
Judge’s 61 home runs tie an AL record, but are way short of the MLB record. Still, people push league records as if they’re important out of a misguided sense of loyalty to the teams they play more. (The SEC)
Other people are salty that the people with more home runs in the past were cheating. The MLB heavily promoted the cheating, which brought them a massive amount of revenue and fan interest, but then feigned ignorance and moral outrage after it happened. (Pony Express)
Ithaca keeps their Liberty League title hopes alive, finishing conference play at 5-1. They now need RPI to lose a game – and the Engineers are currently in overtime with St. Lawrence. #D3FB
Defending #D3FB champions North Central clinched the CCIW title today with a win over WashU. When they won the national championship in 2019, they were an at-large team.
Tomorrow it's FCS Texas Southern's turn to play a team that Google doesn't know about. North American University appears to be a real school in suburban Houston. Founded as Texas Gulf Institute in 2007, decided to become Generic School Name University in 2013 + football this year
ESPN doesn't even show the game on their schedule; possibly because it's uncountable for NCAA, NAIA, or anything other than homecoming attendance (no surprises the 0-3 have the Stallions scheduled):
The NAU Stallions haven't been completely hopeless:
• Beat NAIA Louisiana College, 42-41
• Lost to FCS Lamar, 47-3
• Beat NJCAA juco Louisiana Community Christian, 30-14
• Body-bagged by D2 West Alabama, 80-0
• Were beating NJCAA juco Southern Shreveport Jags, 49-13...
