MWC Bowls...WAC Bowls

Note: This page will be updated when we know who the opponents will be.

MWC Bowls

All of the MWC bids have been accepted, except for TCU

TCU--BCS, as Oregon goes to the National Championship game, TCU takes their place in the Rose Bowl vs Wisconsin, the highest ranked of the three Big 10 schools tied for first.

Utah--Las Vegas bowl vs Boise State (Utah has accepted the invitation)

Interesting game if this pans out.  At least Kyle's boys might wake up before the start of the 4th quarter for this one.  Although, not as exciting of a game as it seemed a couple of days ago as the Utes will be without QB Jordan Wynn.

San Diego State--Poinsettia bowl vs. Navy (Both teams have accepted the invite)

Navy has the offense to make this a shootout.  Interesting to see if the defenses show up.

Air Force--Independence Bowl vs Clemson or Georgia Tech (Air Force have accepted the invitation.)

No comment until I see who them AF boys get to play.

BYU--New Mexico Bowl vs UTEP (Both Teams have accepted the invite)

I knew that Mike Price would not pass on the opportunity to play BYU.  Interesting that the two most hated New Mexico opponents (two of the three most hated, except maybe the NM State Aggies are more pitied than hated)  are going to be playing each other in Albuquerque this year.  This should bring out a big crowd.  It may even bring out a couple of curious New Mexico fans.  The Miners will have to contain running backs JJ DiLuigi and Juice Quezada.  BYU will have to do something on offense.  Unusual for a Mike Price coached team, like this one, to hang their hat on defense.  This one does.  But when this defense breaks, boy does it ever break.

WAC Bowls
The picture is a bet clearer with UTEP accepting the invitation to go to the New Mexico Bowl. If eligible, that is if they can beat Nevada...like the Wolfpack will lie down for them...La Tech will go the the New Orleans Bowl.

Boise State...Las Vegas vs Utah
Nevada...Kraft Fight Hunger vs Georgia Tech

Kaepernick fires the pistol one last time for the Wolfpack.  We will see if those boys from Georgia can handle it.

Fresno State...Humanitarian vs Toledo, Temple or Ohio

Robbie Rouse needs to have a good game because if he does not run, the Bulldogs do not win.  Throwing out the Cal Poly game (FCS opponent where Rouse got 70 yards by halftime and then was rested), the Bulldogs are 6-1 when he gets over 100 yards.  0-3 when he does not. (They have a final game against Illinois on Saturday.)

Hawaii...Hawaii bowl vs Tulsa (Hawaii has accepted the invite)

Hawaii will be unbeatable IF they get a crowd to show up!

Louisiana Tech...if eligible, will go to the New Orleans Bowl.  But they have to beat Nevada on Saturday.
