I believe today is the first official day of college football, well for at least this conference. Today starts the 'Media Blitz' down in Vegas. As of early afternoon the Pre Season All-Conference has been announced along side predicted order of finish.
| Rk. | Team (first place votes) | Points |
| 1. | TCU (18) | 202 |
| 2. | BYU (3) | 178 |
| 3. | Utah (2) | 165 |
| 4. | New Mexico | 120 |
| 5. | Wyoming | 110 |
| 6. | Colorado State | 107 |
| 7. | Air Force | 62 |
| 8. | San Diego State | 56 |
| 9. | UNLV | 35 |
While my list may differ some from here when I post my team by team review in the next month, a quick comment is the positioning of BYU. This could be my bias coming in, but BYU lost their top QB, RB, TE, and WR and the Utes return 10 offensive starters that includes QB Brian Johnson. As for the defensives BYU is better then the Utes, but I just dont think BYU will get 2nd in the conference just because of the amount of fire power they lost on offense. Plus those 4-6 spots will be VERY close, and I would not be surprised if one of them slide into that 3rd spot or at least tie for 3rd.
