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: Nevada
New Mexico Bowl: Utah State
Potato Bowl: Boise State
Arizona Bowl: Air Force
Guaranteed Rate Bowl: Fresno State
I flipped a few teams but kept the 6 teams the same. Whoever wins the SDSU and Nevada game will have the top spot next week.

Fresno’s loss to Boise has them out of the Los Angeles Bowl. I think Nevada beats San Diego State this weekend and eventually takes the Mountain West crown.
