These first set of bowl game projections might be a bit bullish on the conference. Seven of the 12 teams go to a bowl game and we go big by projecting the Mountain West champion to get to the New Year’s Six game.
The seven teams we have in a bowl game are Air Force, Boise State, Fresno State, San Jose State, UNLV, Wyoming, and San Diego State.
