The Mountain West had themselves another exciting week in football. We saw New Mexico pull off a complete head scratcher when they upset Boise State on the blue turf. We also saw many close games involving teams such as Air Force, Nevada, and Colorado State. The season is winding down, and bowl season just like Christmas music is coming quickly. Did your team make the cut in this week's bowl projections?

With undoubtedly the biggest win of the year for the Lobo's, New Mexico will be going bowling after all. It looks like they will be playing in their own backyard also, so get ready Lobo fans.
Boise State:
Las Vegas Bowl vs UCLA in Las Vegas, Nevada. ESPN
Poinsettia Bowl vs Western Michigan in San Diego California. ESPN
Poinsettia Bowl vs Arizona State in San Diego, California. CBS Sports
Potato Bowl vs Toledo in Boise, Idaho. SB Nation
Boise will play a power five team most likely because they're such a big program and its good for television revenue. Las Vegas Bowl looks like the best one up their for the Broncos at this point.
San Diego State:

Poinsettia Bowl vs Northern Illinois in San Diego, California. ESPN

Poinsettia Bowl vs Akron in San Diego, California. SB Nation
The Aztecs keep rolling after smacking Wyoming around. With a chance to go 9-3 this year, it's a real toss up of where they will play. Right now it's either Vegas or home sweet home in San Diego.
Utah State:
Potato Bowl vs Ohio in Boise, Idaho. ESPN
Armed Forces Bowl vs Indiana in Fort Worth, Texas. ESPN
Arizona Bowl vs Old Dominion in Tuscon, Arizona. CBS Sports
Armed Forces Bowl vs Arizona State in Fort Worth, Texas
The Aggies need just one more win as they are currently 5-5. After a loss to Air Force, can Utah State rebound and get that elusive sixth win? Nevada and BYU lay ahead, it should be an exciting two weeks for Wolfpack fans.
Nevada:
Arizona Bowl vs Old Dominion in Tuscon, Arizona. ESPN
Potato Bowl vs Central Michigan in Boise, Idaho. ESPN
Cure Bowl vs Arkansas State in Orlando, Florida. CBS Sports
Arizona Bowl vs Arizona in Tuscon, Arizona. SB Nation
Nevada became bowl eligible after they snuck by the Spartans of San Jose State, beating them 37-34. They're all over the place in this week's projection, but their best game has to be either against Arizona or Central Michigan.
Colorado State:
Arizona Bowl vs Old Dominion in Tuscon, Arizona. ESPN
Armed Forces Bowl vs Indiana in Fort Worth, Texas. ESPN
Potato Bowl vs Bowling Green in Boise, Idaho. CBS Sports
Colorado State needs just one more win to become bowl eligible, and if it doesn't come next week against New Mexico, it'll come the following week against Fresno State. Armed Forces Bowl vs Indiana sounds good to me.
Air Force:
Cactus Bowl vs Arizona in Phoenix, Arizona. ESPN
Cactus Bowl vs California in Phoenix, Arizona. ESPN
Armed Forces Bowl vs Central Michigan in Fort Worth, Texas. CBS Sports
Las Vegas Bowl vs California in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was almost a given that the Falcons were going to be played in the Armed Forces Bowl, now just one projection. Air Force would take any game up there right now.
