Mountain West 2017 Schedules.

The Mountain West announced the release for their 2017 schedules. Here are some notes from the release for the 2017 season.

The 2017 Mountain West football schedule was released today and is comprised of 97 games, including 48 Conference match-ups. The scheduling format for the 12-member football lineup consists of five intra-divisional games and three cross-divisional contests. Each institution will play four home and four road Conference games. 2017 marks the first year of the new four-year cycle and the fifth year overall featuring the current rotation.

The 2017 schedule will play out over 14 weeks, concluding on Sat., Dec. 2 with the Mountain West Football Championship Game to be played at the home stadium of the highest-ranked of the two divisional champions.

The non-conference slate features 27 games against teams that earned bowl berths in 2016, including Alabama (two games), Army, BYU (six games), Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Navy, Northwestern, Ohio State, South Florida, Stanford, Texas A&M, Toledo, Tulsa, Utah, Wake Forest, Washington, Washington State (two games) and Wisconsin. Nine non-conference opponents finished ranked in last year’s final USA Today/Coaches’ and Associated Press Top 25 polls, including #2/2 Alabama, #4/4 Washington, #6/6 Ohio State, #9/9 Wisconsin, #10/10 Michigan, #12/12 Stanford, #15/17 Colorado, #19/19 South Florida and #21/23 Utah.
