New Power Rankings.

WAC...

Offensive Player of the Week: Utah State QB Diondre Borel
Defensive Team of the Week: Fresno State
Game of the Week: Boise State 33 Virginia Tech 30

I hesitate to give my weekly choice to Borel and considered Collin Kaepernick of Nevada instead. Borel did hurl three interceptions. But the level of competition does matter. I think that playing at Oklahoma is a bit tougher than playing at home against Eastern Washington. Kellen Moore got the job done against VT, but so did a lot of other people in Boise State's win. For the Broncos, it was a total team effort.

Power Rankings:

1. Boise State
2. Nevada
3. Fresno State
4. Idaho
5. Utah State
6. Louisiana Tech
7. Hawaii
8. New Mexico State
9. San Jose State

Big Sky

Offensive Player of the Week: Eastern Washington RB Taiwan Jones
Defensive Team of the Week: Weber State
Game of the Week: Boston College 38 Weber State 20

Tough choices all around. Everyone in the Big Sky either played up a division or played down. It could have been worse for Weber State and Eastern Washington, therefore they get the love this week.

Power Rankings:

1. Montana
2. Montana State
3. Eastern Washington
4. Weber State
5. Northern Arizona
6. Northern Colorado
7. Sacramento State
8. Portland State
9. Idaho State

Mountain West

Offensive Player of the Week: Utah WR DeVonte Christopher.
Defensive Team of the Week: Brigham Young
Game of the Week: Brigham Young 23 Washington 17

This week should tell us why the Mountain West will never get BCS automatic qualifying status. The top 3 (TCU, Utah and BYU) are still getting the job done. The middle three (Air Force, San Deigo State and Wyoming) did what was expected. Little hope was shown from the bottom 3 (UNLV, Colorado State and New Mexico), except for the first half in Las Vegas. It is not BYU and Utah leaving that will cost the Mountain West the BCS, it is the continued whiffing of the bottom 3.
