The regular season is over for only one Mountain West team which means the bowl scenarios might change from now until then. There is still a shot that the Boise St. Broncos or TCU Horned Frogs could get into a BCS bowl game, but these projections are across the web.

I am leaning toward the Las Vegas Bowl taking Boise State, for one ticket sales will likely be better due to Boise being half the drive time, and tickets drive bowl game de cisions. Also, with TCU on their way out of the Mountain West why would they take a team to showcase if they are not going to be around.
It also looks like Air Force is heading to the Military Bowl and that is where their athletic director Hans Mueh wants to the Falcons to go bowling. It does look very likely that all five Mountain West teams will go bowling, because there are expected to be 71 bowl-eligible teams this year.
