- Utah The Utes have looked impressive with a 3-0 record and a big road win against a Big Ten opponent. Their defense has been a major factor in their success.
- Texas Tech Texas Tech is off to a strong start at 3-0 and has shown a formidable offense. They are a legitimate contender in the conference.
- Houston The Cougars are 3-0 with a solid defense and a key conference win over Colorado. They are exceeding expectations early on.
- BYU BYU’s defense has been stellar, and they’ve shown they can win even with a young quarterback. They have proven themselves worthy of a top spot in the league.
- Arizona Arizona is also 3-0 and has a conference victory over Kansas State. They’ve looked sharp under their new quarterback, Noah Fifita.
- TCU TCU has been a pleasant surprise with a 2-0 record and a solid win against Abilene Christian. Their talent and coaching have them poised for a good season.
