MWC Preseason Media Poll - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

As I'm sure many have read or heard, the MWC preseason media poll is out and it looks like this:

1. TCU
2. BYU
3. Utah
4. CSU
5. UNM
6. SDSU
7. Air Force
8. UNLV
9. Wyoming

Offensive POY: John Beck
Defensive POY: Eric Weddle
Freshemen of the Year: Mickay Jacobson

I think this is a pretty reasonable set of rankings in the preseason. The big argument will be between BYU and Utah for second, but there is no disputing that going into this season, TCU should be expected to win. That's not an unreasonable pick.

As for the Cougars and the Utes, I think they're fairly even teams going into this year and I'd give the Utes the edge because of a pretty favorable schedule.

Wyoming last? That surprised me...I was under the impression that Joe Glenn was turning things around...although we thought the same thing about Steve McLain a few years ago.

I know none of these polls mean anything, but football discussion is always better than no football discussion!
