Saw this article on the Mountain West Wire and thought it clarified the divisional tie breakers very well!

Yeah, the net/net I got from that was that we really need AFA to lose to Wyoming or else we are hosed even if we beat BSU and New Mexico.

Interesting set of complicated rules (that confirms what we all mostly knew already - that we aren't very likely to be the team going to the conference Championship Game even if we win out).

My question is are those procedures just to choose which team goes to the championship game, or do they actually make just one team the Division Champion? Meaning if we end up in a three way (or two way) tie for the Division Championship would there officially be "Co-Champions" with one designated to go to the game, or would there be just one "Champion" in spite of the tied status?

Whoever wins the tiebreaker is the Division Champ. Whoever loses the three-way tiebreaker is third. This is official MWC policy.

My takeaway is Air Force needs to lose for us to have a chance and Bosie would need to lose twice for Air Force to have a chance.
