Bowl season has come and gone once again. With the exception of the National Championship (but it’s two SEC teams so I may just pretend that it doesn’t exist), all the games have been played and teams are now in the dreaded off-season. The Mountain West Conference had 6 teams playing in bowl games, going 3-3 in those games. This article will offer some thoughts about what those outcomes mean going forward.
Recap:
- New Mexico Bowl: Marshall 31, Colorado State 28 (L)
- Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State 38, Oregon 28 (W)
- Famous Idaho Potato Bowl: Wyoming 37, Central Michigan 14 (W)
- Armed Forces Bowl: Army 42, San Diego State 35 (L)
- Hawaii Bowl: Fresno State 33, Houston 27 (W)
- Arizona Bowl: New Mexico State 26, Utah State 20 (L)
If someone would’ve have said the Mountain West was going to win three and lose three, the Vegas and Hawaii Bowls would’ve seem like the safest bets for losses, with Wyoming losing in a Josh Allen-less game being the third most likely loss.
