The 2021 season is here and our team at Mountain West Connection will be releasing our bowl projections each week. For now, we will only be projecting Mountain West teams and what bowl game we think they will end up in. As the season progresses, we may add opponents. See below for this week’s predictions and be sure to join the discussion by posting your own in the comments section.

Los Angeles Bowl: San Diego State
Hawaii Bowl: Fresno State
New Mexico Bowl: Air Force
Potato Bowl: Utah State
Arizona Bowl: Wyoming
Guaranteed Rate Bowl: Nevada
I flipped the Aggies and Broncos, which I will keep doing as long as they alternate wins. I could see both teams or neither team actually make a bowl at this point. Also, the Cowboys bowl chances are decreasing by the week, but built up enough credit at the start of the season to be safe for now.

I think Nevada is the most complete team in the conference. In this scenario, I think the West gets the top three bowl spots.
