Another week, another title changed hands. This time it was BYU pulling another miraculous late-game victory and taking the Mountain West Middleweight Belt from Boise State. Originally, we overlooked BYU and did not note that as a title defense for the Broncos. It was and it ended up being costly. BYU will defend the title this season when they take on San Jose State in November.
As for this week, every in-play Battle Belt is up for grabs this week while the first Unified Conference Belt title defense of 2015 will take place in Tuscaloosa. There will be a champion versus champion game in Columbus when Northern Illinois visits Ohio State.
