Week 5 brought the start of conference play, with 7 conference games and 1 non-conference game. Two pretty big upsets with UM going on the road and beating down UCD, and UI losing at previously winless UNC. This came one week after UI shocked EWU at home in a non-conference game. Hard to figure UI out. UM's win might make them the conference favorite at this point, especially considering they get EWU and WSU at home. MSU got down early to NAU but came back to win big. EWU handled UND at home, and ISU destroyed PSU. ISU winning wasn't a surprise necessarily, but winning by 27 was. PSU had looked improved this season, but maybe the conference better look out for ISU, who has looked pretty good the past two weeks. Also, CP outlasted SUU in Cedar. SUU looks to maybe be the bottom dweller of the conference. In non-conference play WSU beats a ranked UNI team from the MVFC. With one non-conference game left to play (ISU @ FBS BYU in Week 12), the conference goes 12-7 vs FCS on the season, is 0-18 vs FBS, and goes 7-0 vs Non-D1. The conference finishes 4-6 in the MVFC Challenge.
