Each week members of the Mountain West Connection team will be completing bowl projections. With the lack of bowl tie-ins for the Mountain West, some of these bowl projections required quite a bit of research. We will start with the obvious Mountain West tie-ins and then things get interesting.
Zach: It’s starting to look like the Mountain West might only get five teams, but I am sticking with six for this week.
Las Vegas Bowl: Fresno State vs. Arizona State
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs. Western Kentucky
New Mexico Bowl: Utah State vs. Marshall
Arizona Bowl: Nevada vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
Potato Bowl: San Diego State vs. Western Michigan
Cactus Bowl: Boise State vs. Iowa State
Matt: Sticking with 6, but this whole thing is a mess
Las Vegas Bowl: Fresno State v. Stanford
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii v. Memphis
New Mexico Bowl: SDSU v. Marshall
Arizona Bowl: Nevada v. Coastal Carolina
Potato Bowl: Utah State v. Buffalo
Cactus Bowl: Boise State v. Baylor
FatDuckUW: I’m still sticking with the projection of a 7th bowl game for the MWC with the Frisco Bowl. I think Air Force could fall there if the Falcons finish 6-6. Consider this to be a very optimistic projection for the MWC.
Las Vegas Bowl: Fresno State vs Colorado
Cheeze-It Bowl: San Diego State vs Iowa State
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs North Texas
Potato Bowl: Boise State vs Eastern Michigan
New Mexico Bowl: Utah State vs Middle Tennessee State
Arizona Bowl: Nevada vs Arkansas State
Frisco Bowl: Air Force vs Memphis
Mike: Keep in mind, I do projections as if the season ended today (or Sunday). Giving UNLV’s loss to New Mexico, I’m dropping them out for now. Will they be back in next week? Who knows. Right now, Nevada enters as my 6th team, but they are on the bubble as well. I really thought about just going with 5 teams.
Las Vegas Bowl: Fresno State vs. Colorado
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs. Cincinnati
New Mexico Bowl: San Diego State vs. Marshall
Arizona Bowl: Nevada vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
Potato Bowl: Utah State vs. Eastern Michigan
Catcus/Whatever Bowl: Boise State: some low level Big 12 team
