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: Week five left us with a clear idea of who the best teams in the conference are. Unfortunately, the bowl tie-ins are quite underwhelming.
Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State vs. Colorado
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: Fresno State vs. Iowa State
Matt: Sticking with 6, but this whole thing is a mess
Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State v. Arizona State
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii v. Cincinnati
New Mexico Bowl: Fresno State v. Marshall
Arizona Bowl: Nevada v. Coastal Carolina
Potato Bowl: Utah State v. Buffalo
Cactus Bowl: San Diego State v. Baylor
FatDuckUW: I’m still sticking with the projection of a 7th bowl game for the MWC with the Frisco Bowl. Also, I’m stubbornly sticking with/hoping for Wyoming in a bowl game.
Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State vs Colorado
Armed Forces Bowl: Fresno State vs Memphis
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs North Texas
New Mexico Bowl: San Diego State vs Middle Tennessee State
Potato Bowl: Utah State vs Eastern Michigan
Arizona Bowl: Nevada vs Georgia Southern
Frisco Bowl: Wyoming vs Navy
Mike: I’m sticking with my picks from last week. I clearly think these are the six best teams in the MWC right now. UNLV is on the least firm ground, but even so, it’s getting more stable week after week. But with half the teams winning last week and the other half on byes, hard to make any movement on projections. As usual, don’t pay attention to opponents here.
Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State vs. Colorado
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs. Cincinnati
New Mexico Bowl: Fresno State vs. Marshall
Arizona Bowl: UNLV vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
Potato Bowl: Utah State vs. Eastern Michigan
Whatever Bowl the MWC steals from someone else: SDSU vs somebody
