Eight teams participated in that season: Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV, Wyoming and new member Boise State. This was the first year the MW was without founding members Utah and BYU, which respectively left for the Pac-12 Conference and FBS independent status, with BYU's other sports joining the West Coast Conference. In response to their departure, the conference added Boise State for this season, and would eventually add Fresno State, Hawaii (football only; other sports joined the Big West Conference), and Nevada for the 2012 season. This was also the last year for TCU as an MW member. The Horned Frogs were originally set to become a member of the Big East Conference in the 2012 season. However, on October 10, they accepted a bid to join the Big 12 Conference. https://www.espn.com/dallas/ncf/story/_/id/7085749/big-12-vote-unanimous-allow-tcu-horned-frogs-2012-13 Big 12 vote unanimous to allow TCU Horned Frogs in 2012-13 10 October 2011 Preseason Award watch lists The following Mountain West players were named to preseason award watch lists.

Boise State head coach Chris Petersen was quoted that he thought the ban was, "ridiculous".http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2011/07/26/ccripe/heres_boise_states_updated_preseason_depth_chart Boise State can't wear all blue uniforms at home for Mountain West games | Voices.IdahoStatesman.com 2012-08-17 dead https://archive.today/20120716180108/http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2011/07/26/ccripe/heres_boise_states_updated_preseason_depth_chart 2012-07-16 Coaches NOTE: Stats shown are before the beginning of the season Team Head coach Years at school Overall record Record at school MW record Air Force Troy Calhoun 5 34–18 34–18 21–11 Boise State Chris Petersen 6 61–5 61–5 0–0* Colorado State Steve Fairchild 4 13–24 13–24 6–18 New Mexico Mike Locksley (fired on 9/25/11)George Barlow (interim) 31 2–220–0 2–220–0 2–140–0 San Diego State Rocky Long 1 65–69 0–0 40–34^ TCU Gary Patterson 11 98–28 98–28 41–7 UNLV Bobby Hauck 2 82–28 2–11 2–6 Wyoming Dave Christensen 3 10–15 10–15 5–11 *first year as conference member, ^achieved as head coach of New Mexico from 99–08 Rankings The following Mountain West teams have been either ranked or received votes in the major polls during the 2011 season: 2011 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings + Ranking movementLegend: ██ Increase in ranking. ██ Decrease in ranking. ██ Not ranked the previous week.  Pre Wk1 Wk2 Wk3 Wk4 Wk5 Wk6 Wk7 Wk8 Wk9 Wk10 Wk11 Wk12 Wk13 Wk14 FinalAir Force AP RV RV C RV RV RV RV Harris Not released BCS Not released Boise State AP 5 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 10 C 7 5 4 4 5 6 6 7 5 5 5 11 Harris Not released 5 5 5 5 5 11 BCS Not released 5 4 5 5 10 San Diego State AP RV C RV RV Harris Not released BCS Not released TCU AP 14 25 23 20 20 RV RV RV 19 C 15 25 23 20 20 RV RV RV RV 24 19 Harris Not released RV RV RV RV 25 21 BCS Not released 19 Mountain West vs. BCS matchups Date Visitor Home Notes September 1 UNLV 17 #10 Wisconsin 51 September 2 #15 TCU 48 Baylor 50 TCU loss snapped a 25-game regular season winning streak September 3^ #7 Boise State 35 #22 Georgia 21 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome in AtlantaBoise State's first ever win against an SEC team September 10 New Mexico 3 #13 Arkansas 52 Played at Arkansas' secondary home in Little Rock September 10 UNLV 7 Washington State 59 September 17^ Colorado State 14 Colorado 28 Rocky Mountain Showdown at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver September 17 Texas Tech 59 New Mexico 13 Second straight year the Lobos have hosted Texas Tech September 17 Washington State 24 San Diego State 42 September 24 San Diego State 7 #21 Michigan 28 Michigan head coach Brady Hoke coached San Diego State the last two seasons September 24 #9 Nebraska 38 Wyoming 14 October 8 Air Force 33 Notre Dame 59 ^Denotes neutral site game Regular season Index to colors and formattingMountain West member wonMountain West member lostMountain West teams in bold All dates, times, and TV are tentative and subject to change.
