Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk some Mountain West football and go over some creative ways the schedule could turn out in 2020. Everything is going on as planned but different states have different guidelines on big events, even without fans. California and Oregon are pretty strict in what they will and will not allow. The two go over what happens if the Mountain West needs to play only league games, no California schools in 2020, plus what other leagues could band together for reasonable travel for games and still play a full season. Could a few Big 12 or Big Ten schools far enough West be able to play a Mountain West team to complete its schedule.

Plus, a few options on what a 2020 college football season would look like.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap the NFL Draft from the Mountain West and where players went. The big name was Utah State's Jordan Love who went to the first round by the Green Bay Packers, and the two discuss how that pick played out and why it was a good and also a bad pick by Green Bay. There were 10 other players drafted this weekend with a few surprises like Boise State's Curtis Weaver falling to the fifth round and Fresno State's Mykal Walker.

Then the duo discusses free-agent signings and how there were fewer this year and it likely has to do with the lack of having any rookie mini-camps the week after the draft.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk some NFL Draft in regards to the Mountain West. The big question of the draft from a Mountain West perspective is where Utah State quarterback Jordan Love will get drafted. He seems likely to be a first-rounder or not but he in all likelihood will be the first Mountain West player taken. We discuss the best fits for Love and if it is better for him to start right away or take a back seat for at least part of the year or longer.

The other players who could be early draft picks come from Boise State in Ezra Cleveland and Curtis Weaver. Other names who could be drafted are Fresno State's Netane Muti, Hawaii's Cole McDonald, San Diego State's Keith Ismael, and maybe a few others. Also, we discuss some sleeper picks and what being an undrafted player means.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk some college football for the Mountain West. We first start talking about what a college football season will look like this season. Options we discuss are no season, split season, conference only, or push the season into a spring sport. Also, those making predictions, even like ours, should be taken with a grain of salt as no one really knows how long COVID-19 will be causing issues.

The second half of the podcast is more upbeat with the two going through the upcoming schedule and what games they will attend each week. One rule they attempt to have is to make sure to see every Mountain West team.

Jeremy and Matt are back at it to take a look ahead to the 2020 Mountain West football schedule and go through what teams have it easy and tough. We go through some fun non-conference games to watch and what league games could decide a division title in the final week of the Mountain West season.

They also discuss how COVID-19 could impact college football in either a delayed sense or no football at all which would be a very bad scenario. We discussed comments made by Utah State's Gary Andersen who suggested maybe only conference games could happen if football activities can not resume by June 1. Plus, more on the show including a very bold prediction by Jeremy about Colorado State's start to the season.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk about how COVID-19 has put an impact on the college sports world, specifically football. Spring football has been canceled for all schools and only Air Force was able to complete all of their practices. A few others got a handful of practices like San Diego State but what we get into is how not having spring practice will impact teams, and especially the teams that have a new head coach. We also go through teams positions that could have used spring football to get better.

Jeremy and Andrew are back to go over the Mountain West tournament which saw No. 11 Wyoming makes a tournament run and Utah State coming from behind to defeat San Diego State for its second straight tournament title. We go through the games with what surprised us and disappointed us through the games. We chat how UNLV's seasons went in T. J. Otzelberger's first year on the job and how he overachieved a bit.

We get into NCAA Tournament seeding with San Diego State and whether they would rather get that No. 1 seed out East or stay close to home as a No. 2 seed. Also, there is some talk about covid-19 possibly changing the dynamic of the NCAA Tournament by playing games with no fans or even condensing the sites.

Jeremy and Andrew are back to preview the 2020 Mountain West tournament which begins this week. The two go through the scenarios in the tournament and they both find a soft spot for Colorado State who could sort of play a spoiler in this event. They also go over the various all-conference awards and wonder what is the deal with San Diego State head coach Brian Dutcher who is complaining a lot for a likely No. 1 seed.

Also, all signs point to a two-bid Mountain West tournament, well as long as Utah State doesn't mess things up.
