The 2023 season is in full swing and though it’s early, it’s also never too early to discuss bowl projections. Our team at Mountain West Connection will be releasing our bowl projections each week. Read our projections below every week and leave your own in the comments.

LA Bowl: Wyoming
Hawaii Bowl: Fresno State
New Mexico Bowl: UNLV
Potato Bowl: Utah State
Arizona Bowl: Colorado State
NY6 Bowl: Air Force
Same bowl teams as last week for me. The Falcons are firmly in the NY6 spot and look to have a great chance at staying undefeated. UNLV and Fresno State have already won bowl games and Wyoming is one win away. Currently, I see Utah State and Colorado State (in that order) of having the best chances to make a bowl game, in large part due to who they play the rest of the year.

NY6 Bowl: Air Force
Right now I only have four teams headed to a bowl and that would be a nightmare for the conference. I think one of Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Jose State, or Utah State finds a way to get to 6-6. But it is hard to determine which team that will be at this point.

NY6 Bowl: Air Force
Wow, what a week of enlightenment. SDSU has dropped off my bowl radar while SJSU has re-emerged. Air Force moves closer each week to getting the coveted NY-6 bowl.

I’m not sure about the NY6 for Air Force, I think the Falcons might have to face a one-loss Fresno in the championship game to make it, so I have Fresno in the LA Bowl, which means Wyoming has to lose to someone else. More wishful thinking than an actual prediction.

I said last week I wasn’t quite on the Colorado State train. This week I switched it up, going with the Rams over Utah State. Still, Colorado State is a fringe pick for me and could be dropped from my list as early as this week. Fresno State, UNLV, and of course, Air Force are the only true locks for the conference so far.
