Mountain West
The Mountain West carries 10 FBS programs for the 2026 college fantasy season. New Mexico leads the conference at 908.8 combined projected points from its top 10 board-ranked players; UTEP is last at 645.5. The conference median is 781.3.
None of the Mountain West's 10 programs are covered by Yahoo Sports' 2026 college fantasy product, which limits itself to the Power-4 conferences plus Notre Dame. Saturday Night Showdown carries every one of them.
Projected points and board slot are Saturday Night Showdown's own 2026 season-long projections and value-based draft board, generated before Week 0 kicks off — not stats from games already played, and not an average of real-world draft results.
