Mountain West Football Championship 2025: Predicting the Participants and Host (2026)

Get ready for an exciting announcement this Sunday! The 2025 Mountain West Football Championship is about to reveal its participants, and the host city will be unveiled! But here's where it gets intriguing: the selection process is a complex blend of computer metrics and rankings.

On November 30th, we'll witness the culmination of the 2025 MW season, with a championship game that promises to be a thrilling affair. Currently, Boise State, New Mexico, and San Diego State are tied at the top with 6-2 records. UNLV could join this elite group if they defeat Nevada on Saturday.

The selection process is a delicate dance. A composite average of various rankings, including Connelly SP+, ESPN SOR, KPI, and SportSource, will determine the two teams that advance to the championship. But here's the catch: if these teams are tied, we go back to head-to-head comparisons. If they haven't faced each other this season, the computer metrics step in to break the tie.

And this is the part most people miss: if UNLV joins the mix, all four teams will have unique paths to the championship. In this scenario, the top two teams advance, and then we have a separate tiebreaker to determine the host.

The Mountain West Football Championship, scheduled for December 5th, will be broadcast on FOX for the sixth consecutive season. Mark your calendars for a 6 p.m. MT/5 p.m. PT kickoff, and don't miss the Mountain West Network Pregame Live Show beforehand.
