MOUNTAIN WEST BECOMES CONTENDERS

Year after year the Mountain west conference isnt taken serious. Last year the Utah Utes went undefeated and when they were heading to the Sugar Bowl, which is a major NCAA football game, they were judged by the nation to get stomped. We all know the end to that story though. Now after BYU's upset over nationally ranked Oklahoma (No. 3) the mountain west is looked at as more of a NCAA footbal contender. Everyone in the Mountain West in convinced they can contend with all of the big dogs. After this season everyone will be able to understand the strength of the Mountain West conference. I personally am not a Mountain West fan, but anyone would have to agree that the Mountain West is making their mark. Personally i am from the Big Ten conference area of the country and the Mountain West is looked as one of the weakest conferences in the nations but within the past few years they have really come to play. Obviously they have the well known BYU and U of U, but a lot of the other Mountain West teams are playing big as well. It shows the mountain west is a conference to fear.
