History

After the 2013 phase of Mountain West Conference realignment, the league added two new members, San Jose State and Utah State [1] for the 2013 season. By adding two new members for a total of 12 football members (11 all-sports members and football-only Hawaii), the MW was able to split into two divisions, the Mountain and the West, and to organize an annual conference championship game.
