No byes this week. Almost no changes this week as well.
NDSU and Nevada played a good game until late when NDSU pulled away, but it looks like its just a matter of time before Nevada upsets someone ranked above them. NDSU felt a bit sluggish in this game, and will need to find their early season form if they hope to beat New Mexico next week.
Wyoming handled NIU pretty comfortably and look to be eyeing a bowl game. NIU continues to struggle to find much of anything, and playing Hawaii might help them find some answers.
Air Force beating UNLV completes the conference contenders ring of defeat (UNLV > NDSU > Air Force > UNLV), both now have one loss in conference to a respectable team but still look a cut above most of the rest.
San Jose State got back on track with a win over UTEP, which continues to look dreadful, and are the only team making any movement this week as a bowl game is still possible for them.
Finally New Mexico beat a Hawaii team that showed a little bit of a pulse. I'm not sure if it was just the craziness of last Saturday, the long flight, or being caught looking ahead to their game against NDSU; but New Mexico came out flat and really struggled against Hawaii for the first half. Fortunately for them, they came to life in the second and soundly won that half of the game to get the win.
