We are back for another week discussing bowl teams. Our team at Mountain West Connection will be releasing our bowl projections each week. This week’s round of projections can be seen below and will likely change as the season progresses. Read our projections below and leave your own in the comments.
Mike
Los Angeles Bowl: Boise State
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii
Potato Bowl: UNLV
New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico
Arizona Bowl: Fresno State
Guaranteed Rate Bowl: San Diego State
College Football Playoff: N/A
Other Bowl (TBD):
Utah State
I have the same teams but a different order this week. Four teams have now clinched bowl games, and they occupy the top four spots in my mind. Then, New Mexico, Fresno State, and Utah State are all still in the fight and have a good chance to reach six wins. Technically, Wyoming does too. Seven bowl teams would be good for the conference.

Los Angeles Bowl: Boise State
Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii
Potato Bowl: Fresno State
New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico
Arizona Bowl: UNLV
Guaranteed Rate Bowl: San Diego State
College Football Playoff: N/A
Other Bowl (TBD): N/A
Not much change from last week. Four bowl teams are already eligible, and a few teams need one win. Wyoming and Utah State both have a shot, but I’m leaving both out for now.

Other Bowl (TBD): UNLV
I’m picking seven bowl-eligible teams. Four have already clinched (where has the season gone?), there are a few good surprises, such as New Mexico and San Diego State, and a couple of disappointments (San Jose State and Air Force). I’ve got the Aztecs for the first time to win the conference championship game.
