Here is My dream Mountain West Football schedule for one particular weekend in 2025.
UNLV at Boise State
Wyoming at Air Force
Hawaii at Colorado State
New Mexico at San Jose state
San Diego State at Nevada
Utah State at Fresno State
New Mexico State should join the MW in 2026.
Then the MW can play these conference games on Thanksgiving weekend:
Hawaii-San Jose State
Nevada-UNLV
New Mexico-Wyoming
New Mexico State-UTEP
Air Force would play Colorado State of the Pac-12 in a non-conference game on Thanksgiving weekend, being the only non-conference game among what looks like will be Group of Six schools played on that weekend every year. All other non-conference games that get played on Thanksgiving weekend at least every other year involve Power Four schools.
The Pac-12’s conference schedule on Thanksgiving weekend would look like this:
Boise State-Utah State
Fresno State-San Diego State
Oregon State-Washington State
I do think the MWC really should start to create some Thanksgiving rivalry games. Your idea is not bad. I think the MWC should without a doubt add New Mexico St. for 2026. Right now with just 8 football members, they are in danger of having a problem should one school bolt for the Pac 12. No doubt the Pac 12 will try to lure somebody if they are still at 7 schools. You need to have 8 and I think Nevarez is very naive. She already lost 5 schools this year.
