The top 25 players: Mountain West

Time to look at everyone's favorite conference now!

Let's hear it for the Mountain West!!!!!

Here are my top 25 players from the greatest football conference on Earth.


1. Max Hall - BYU QB - Max Hall could have the potential to be the first QB selected come draft time. The Cougars are expected to do big thnigs this season, and Hall is a big reason for that.

2. DeAndre Wright - New Mexico DB - Wright is one of the best cover corners in the nation. Unfortunately for him, he plays in the desert of New Mexico. Most people have never even heard of this guy. You would think a school that produced Brian Urlacher would get a little more pub.

3. Jan Jorensen - BYU DL - The Cougar's defensive line will be scary this season. Jorgensen is the leader of the best unit in the MWC. Opposing QB's will be on the run all game long when they face BYU.

4. Harvey Unga - BYU RB - Unga really came onto the scene last season. I look for him to carry his momentum over into this season. While Hall will get most of the pub on offense, Unga will play a big role in BYU's success.

5. Dallas Reynolds - BYU OL - Not only does BYU have the best defensive line in the MWC, they also have the best offensive line. Reynolds will head a very strong group that will work hard to keep Hall out of trouble and open lanes for Unga.

6. Austin Collie - BYU WR - Hall has got to have somebody to throw to. That somebody is Collie. He is as tough as they come at the WR position.

7. Ryan Wolfe - UNLV WR - Finally, another non- BYU player. Unfortunately for Wolfe, he plays on a really bad Rebel football team. Wolfe may actually be a better rounded receiver than Collie at BYU.

8. Robert Conley - Utah OL - You knew the other participant in the Holy War was going to have a say on this list. Conley leads a very deep Utah offensive line that will be looking to protect talented QB Brian Johnson.

9. Ray Feinga - BYU OL - Feinga joins Dallas Reynolds on the BYU O-line. The Cougars are going to be seriously good this season. I can see why everyone is picking them to go undefeated.

10. John Fletcher - Wyoming DL - Joe Glenn's Wyoming team fell apart late last season. It will be up to the Cowboy's defense, led by Fletcher, to not let another meltdown happen in 2008.

Here are the rest:

11. Ward Dobbs Wyoming LB
12. Jason Allen TCU LB
13. Rodney Ferguson New Mexico RB
14. Nick Charles Air Force OL
15. Paul Kruger Utah DL
16. Russell Allen San Diego St. LB
17. Brian Johnson Utah QB
18. Darrell Mack Utah RB
19. Darren Mougey San Diego St. WR
20. Casey Flair UNLV WR
21. Travis Bright BYU OL
22. Cody Moore TCU DL
23. Mitch Unrein Wyoming DL
24. Rafael Priest TCU DB
25. Dennis Pitta BYU TE
