COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West announced Friday that beginning with the 2023 season, the league will eliminate its two-division format. The two teams with the highest Conference winning percentage will compete in the championship game.

The enhanced structure will ensure the top two teams meet in the championship game and put the Mountain West in the best position for a place in the College Football Playoff.

A scheduling model and tiebreaking procedures for future seasons are being finalized and will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Our membership has been working on concepts since last summer, as part of our strategic planning for the future of the Mountain West,” said MW Commissioner Craig Thompson. “A single-division approach provides maximum flexibility to adapt the Conference schedule as the landscape continues to evolve, while also allowing member institutions to play each other more frequently.”

The MW will continue with its existing Mountain and West Divisions in the fall of 2022, with the two divisional champions meeting in the MW Football Championship Game on Saturday, December 3.

On May 18, at the recommendation of its Football Oversight Committee, the NCAA Division I Council adopted legislation to remove the Football Bowl Subdivision requirements that must be met to annually exempt one conference championship contest. This change will provide discretion to each FBS conference to determine the method for identifying the participants in its conference championship game.

Not sure how I feel about this change. The Hair is such a f##k[#] follower...it is amazing that asshole still has his position!

Personally, I feel like the following teams need to ALWAYS be on UW's schedule, as long as we continue as the MWC:

CSewe
AFA
New Mexico
Utard State
Hawaii

SDSU, Nevada, and UNLV are all good destinations to travel to - so would love to have them on as well. Outside of that, I could care less if we ever play Fresno, SJSU, or Boise again.

I'm with you except not a fan of Reno; the city.

Also would prefer to never play byu light ever again.

Why should we care about playing Hawaii every year? I can understand a little with USU but only because of proximity.

I'm with you for sure on Fart Colons, academy, and New Mexico though.

!. Bohl willl not get canned regardless of won/loss record this coming year. No "Back Bone" Burman will not stir the pot.
2. No "Back Bone" will be promoting basketball and the stadium renovations will keep him occupied.
3. Fans attention will be devoted to basketball's anticipated success next season. Bohl's overall record will be accepted quietly as we have come to accept his poor performance as a yearly occurrence such as spring following winter.
4. Josh Allen will have a terrific year and Wyoming will be mentioned often. Bohl will get credit for recruiting Allen even though Allen fell into Bohl's lap.
5. No more Mountain West divisions stating in 2023 means Bohl will not have to defend not winning a division championship.
6. Perhaps with no divisions Bohl will escape playing Fresno and Boise State in the same year.
7. UW's President and Board of Trustees' attention will be devoted to the financials of running a university in a declining national economy coupled with stadium renovation costs.

Bohl is like a cat...9 lives and always lands on his feet.

For me...

1. The fanbase is full of assholes
2. Blue Turf
3. The fanbase is full of assholes

I think the blue turf is enough on its own.

I'd actually be ok with not playing Air Force every year. I hate the game. If there's one thing that's worse than what we've watched with Bohls offense, it's Air Force's offense. On one hand people cry about our offense but will gladly slurp down AF offense. Sure, AF has had a decent run, but before that they sucked. I would not trade our offense for AF even if it meant 1 more win a year. I hate it that much. I get it, we haven't been able to pass since JA left but at least I've watched some passing occasionally. You can make arguments that we only have 3 running plays but AF has like 1 and its dumb. You don't have to argue with me on this because I realize without our passing game, we're essentially AF that wastes plays on passes.

No longer legal. Going forward - only offensive linemen may cut block and only within the tackle box. No more sweeping the fullback to dive at and take out our linebackers' knees.
