The Mountain West is turned upside this year with who is going to bowl games. Boise State looked like they might slide out of a bowl game but new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter got the offense going against San Diego State.
That brings us to the Aztecs who are in a world of hurt due to injuries and transfers at quarterback. Their defense played a good half vs. the Broncos but that was it and that leaves us to omit San Diego State this week from a bowl game for the second straight week.
Here are our latest bowl projections and it includes six Mountain West teams.
