The Mountain West has entrenched itself as one of the more exciting leagues in collegiate basketball, so it’s high time to be doing a weekly look around how the conference is going. Mondays are as good a time as any to refresh things and figure out where everyone stands. This new weekly installment will be a collection of standings, power rankings, check-ins on races for end-of-season awards along with highlighting the risers and fallers of the league. There will even be a weekly look at bracketology for the entire conference. It’ll be a one-stop shop for a summary of the Mountain West week-by-week. A lot of it is my opinion but mixed in are some objective metrics I have not control over. Let’s get started. Standings We’ll get to power rankings in a moment, but here are the standings as they sit now. I’ll also put AP Poll ranks next to applicable teams, including teams who received votes (the “received votes” teams will have a number in parenthesis denoting where they’d rank if you extended the AP Poll beyond the top 25 teams).
