Week 5 Mountain West Bowl Projections


A new team in a NY6 game

‘sup Air Force

Week 5 is in the books and it seems like more and more teams are slowly securing their spot in a bowl lineup. We make a big shift for a potential New Year’s Six matchup and swap out Fresno State for Air Force.

While the Bulldogs arguably have better wins with a pair of power conference wins, the Falcons have looked more dominant all year — outside of the 13-3 win over Sam Houston State.

ESPN Football Power Index like UNLV’s chances, and not just like but love the Rebels chances of making a bowl game for the first time since 2013.

Currently, FPI gives just six teams with a better than 50% chance to make a bowl game but odds are and history suggest seven will make a bowl game, maybe even eight.
