For this year’s San Diego State football team, six is the number that delineates bad from good.
Six years ago was the last time SDSU football was ineligible for a postseason bowl, and six weeks ago was the last time the Aztecs lost a game.
After starting conference play 5-0 for the first time as a Division I team, the Aztecs are one win away from becoming bowl eligible, winning the West Division of the Mountain West and putting themselves in the conference championship game.
Group of Five teams need to win their conference championship.
