**NOTE** The author concludes that Wyoming will go 3-9 this season.

Now less than 6 weeks from football, a look at ESPN's preseason FPI.

From ESPN: "The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily."

They only predict the MWC with 2 above average teams.

Boise State (11.9)
Utah State (2.1)
San Diego State (-3.6)
San Jose State (-4.8)
Colorado State (-5.5)
Nevada (-7.3)
Air Force (-7.6)
Hawaii (-9.7)
New Mexico (-9.7)
Fresno State (-9.7)
Wyoming (-14.2)
UNLV (-19.9)

Well, that would suck. Hope they're wrong. Some here are expecting much better than that.
