The Matadors were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team conference, one day after several coaches said they thought CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge  would have been a team picked among the top three or four.

The media poll was similar to the coaches'. The order: Montana, Northern Arizona, Eastern Washington, Montana State, Portland State, Sacramento State, CSUN, Weber State and Idaho State.

He's interested: Johnson, who has been on staff for two years, said he considers himself a candidate to become the interim head coach for the upcoming season.

CSUN senior defensive back Chazz Moore often wore his uniform top out last season. Many Matadors wore bandanas.
