Week 8 Bowl Projections

Fresno State leads the pack, but other are breathing down their neck

NCAA Football: Fresno State at UCLA Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

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.
