The official all-MWC team will be released later this week. Here at MWCConnection, we are getting involved in the fun by releasing our own post-season content ahead of time.

Members of our team submitted their list of votes and we took the top vote getters at each position to form our two teams. Since offensive formations are so different, we put 2 RBs and 2 WRs on the team, plus a FLEX, which can either a RB or WR. Defensively, we just use a traditional 4-3 for its positions. For special teams, we have a kicker, a punter, and a returner. For reference, here was our pre-season 2019 team from July.

Disclaimer: There are a lot of great players in the conference and only so many spots. Arguments can be made for many guys to be mentioned or on a higher team. There will always be snubs. Always. Try to treat this list as a group of guys who are for the most part deserving but it’s not as inclusive as it should be. There are other deserving players as well, but we feel everyone who did make it is deserving.

Notes:

• There were 11 unanimous selections: Josh Love, Charles Williams, Keith Ismael, Ilm Manning, Curtis Weaver, Javaree Jackson, Solomon Byrd, David Woodward, Logan Wilson, Tariq Thompson, and Luq Barcoo.
• Boise State had the most total players on the two teams, followed by Utah State and Wyoming. However, the Cowboys far and away had the most players on the first-team. In fact, all of their players who appeared on our list were first-team selections.
• First team linebacker had four incredibly talented players for three spots and it was difficult to find much separation between them. Similarly, there was a tough call made for the first team wide receiver spots.
• Quarterback, tight end, flex, and the special teams spots were positions the team felt clear about, although people had mixed views on who was first or second team.
• Second team battles included wide receiver, linebacker, and defensive back as spots that had arguments to include multiple players but didn’t have enough spots.

There it is. So let’s hear it. Who did we snub? Who did we put on here that shouldn’t be? Let’s hear your feedback in the comments section.
