Mountain West Watch Feb. 21 — Aggies take sole hold of top spot again – Cache Valley Daily
I’m a couple days late getting this out. Couldn’t quite manage it Monday or Tuesday morning but now with Tuesday’s slate of games it’s time to reset things in the Mountain West. It’s been an odd week (and a half) as the conference just beat up on itself, going back and forth. I nearly had to forego one of my usual sections of this article because there aren’t really any suitable candidates for it right now. Things are solidifying in the standings, though, but part of that is we’re just running out of time. Extend the season another month and we’d have just as much clue about who’d win the conference as we were back in mid-January. So, let’s get it started with a belated installment of Mountain West Watch. Standings/AP Poll Here’s the standings as they sit today, along with AP Poll ranks, if applicable (parenthesis for teams not in the top 25 itself, but receiving votes in the poll, the number being where they’d rank if you extended beyond 25th).
