hopeful to UNLV. They are really joining the power league. Consider the record/games of their co-teams last week:

Utah State - lost 45-29 to the mighty Temple Owls (1-3) on the season
Fresno State - Won 38-21 over the vaunted New Mexico Lobos (3-1) on the season
San Diego State - BYE (1-2)
Oregon State - Won 38-21 over Purdue (3-1) on the season
Colorado State - Won 27-17 over UTEP (2-2) on the season
Washington State - Won 54-52 (OT) over San Jose St (who should also be a state school in the conference) - (4-0) on the season
Boise State - Won 56-14 over Portland State (2-1) on the season

Based upon these quality games, teams, and the fact of who they are playing, they should be a force to be reckoned with now.

The cool thing though is that Fresno, San Diego, and Boise aren't really states, but at least they have been willing to climb aboard the sinking ship. Well done Aggies!
