I feel like my Frisco Classic shirt translates to Sucker.

I hope the team gets a good trip out of it. Hawaii would be great destination to end the season at.

– EasyPost Hawaii Bowl vs Mountain West
– Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs American Athletic Conference
– New Mexico Bowl vs Mountain West
– R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl vs Sun Belt

My uneducated guess:

Beat UTSA = New Orleans Bowl

Lose to UTSA = New Mexico Bowl

Depends who we want to get beat by.   More embarrassing to be thrashed by another MACtion team or a Military school?

Me too. Just doesn't seem to be the way the wind is blowing. My guess is WKU will get slotted in the Armed Forces Bowl.

As someone with less education, what makes you say that?

I was listening to Wren in pregame show before the rice game.  He says ESPN holds the bowl matchups close to their chest.  He also said they like to keep teams close to home so they can draw fans.

New Mexico Bowl

Saturday, December 17, 2022, 2:15, ESPN
Dreamstyle Stadium, Albuquerque, NM
Bowl Ties: Mountain West vs AAC, C-USA, MAC or Sun Belt
Bowl Projection: Utah State vs North Texas

[Cooke County Kid]

I had a really good time the last time we played at the NM Bowl and Utah State, until kickoff and it went to sh*t.

[southsideguy]

Will Utah State bring their head coach this time or is the equipment manager going to coach them again?

[MeanGreenTexan]

Utah State's path looks remarkably like ours (but, Yikes! They have a FCS loss.), with early season drubbings, then beating up on the bad MWC teams and losing to the good ones.

It would be a good game for sure.

Either way the Mean Green will have a rough day.

Hardly any projections have us going there. Bowl projections are worthless when they first start coming out in October, but at this point in the season they're pretty reliable. Especially, Brett McMurphy, who is well connected on these things.

It’s so hard to actually project and accurately nail the bowl projections, but hasn’t it been the past 7 years that the runner up of the championship plays in NOLA? I bet it probably changed, but I’d assume it switched to NM?

[southsideguy]

Air Force will be tough game for us.  They scored a lot of points the beginning of the season but the last few games it has been way down.  I don't know if someone got hurt or what.  There defense seems to be pretty good also.

Looking at the MWC standing Utah State is ahead of them through a tie breaker.   USAFA record is 9-3 and 5-3 in conference.  Utah State was 6-6 and 5-3 in conference.
