The most interesting game this week has to be Nevada at Hawaii since Nevada has not won on the islands in about 50 years, or maybe even more. Hawaii ruined Nevada's excellent season back in 2010, even though Nevada had the better team. It could be something mental, but this Nevada team is far superior and this has to be the year that they get past Hawaii.
The other interesting game is Boise State hosting BYU which features the two best teams this week. Boise State is coming off of a nice rebound win, while BYU just lost a heart breaking game to their biggest rival in Utah. This game has three potential outcomes: A Boise State blowout win and then either a close win by either team. Not sure that BYU has it in them, at least this week, to go out and blowout any team.
After glossing over the schedule, the entire slate has some intrigue. Colorado State vs. Utah State is a future Mountain West game and going off of last years close game with Colorado State winning in overtime, this year's matchup will be interesting. A rival game between New Mexico vs. New Mexico State will be the best chance for the Lobos to get a victory.
Wyoming at Idaho does not have much intrigue, but the Cowboys better get the win at the Kibbie Dome. The other game is Fresno State vs. Tulsa which could turn into a shoot out and be one of the more exciting games with these two offenses.
