We'll know Sunday and if it's like last year, there will be some nailbiting as one after another bowl slots is filled which might have contained us.

What is the best case scenario bowl game? Armed Forces? Liberty? Holiday?

What is the best case scenario bowl game? Armed Forces? Liberty? Holiday? I'm thinking Cheez-it Bowl |

Best case scenario has got to be the Cheez-it Bowl. I'll actually be pretty happy if we get that one

What is the best case scenario bowl game? Armed Forces? Liberty? Holiday? 1. Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix against Big12/Pac12 opponent. Air Force might have edge on us in grabbing this one...they are 10-2. 2. Vegas Bowl (very unlikely, would require some Access Bowl/Boise State weirdness and bowl trading for us to land there) 3. Arizona Bowl (only positive of this game is proximity for fans, opponent would likely be low G5) 4. New Mexico Bowl (not going to be many fans, G5 opponent) |

We'll know Sunday and if it's like last year, there will be some nailbiting as one after another bowl slots is filled which might have contained us. 7-6 and losing 4 of our last 5 regular season games is not the same as 9-3 with a 3-2 final five. I don't think we are worried about getting a game, it is more about if the conference and bowl committee agree to SDSU in the NM bowl, or if they allow us to a filler bowl. |

Some have gone out, already. However most do not go out until after championship weekend, which is this week. The PAC 12 will kick off the championship weekend of Friday evening (Utah versus Oregon) The SEC championship game (Georgia vs LSU) will start at 1:00, same time as the MWC championship game (Hawaii at Boise State). Yet, the two games that will determine a big part of the bowl picture start later. At 4:30 the ACC championship game (Virginia at Clemson) kicks off. And what should be the final game, the Big Ten championship game (Ohio State versus Wisconsin) will be played in Indianapolis with a 5:00 kick off. I would imagine our A.D. is probably sitting on a couple of conditional offers, right now, though. And the popular thought is that we will play in the Cheez-It Bowl (Tempe, AZ) on December 27th. If so, it may be a good bowl for us. Reasonable travel location, great pay out for participating teams. The Cheez-It Bowl, formerly known as the Cactus Bowl, has a contract with the the Big 12 and PAC 12, however current projections indicate one or both of those conferences will not be able to place a team in this game, Note, the PAC 12 has seven contractual bowl tie ins, and has seven bowl eligible teams. However, there is a possibility that the two top PAC 12 teams will play in New Years Day Bowl games. Let's hope for an exciting and close PAC 12 championship game. The Big 12 has seven bowl tie ins, and only six teams eligible for bowl games. collegefootballnews.com/2019/01/2019-2020-college-football-bowl-ties-affiliations-for-each-conference |

ESPN controls most Bowls - They like scoring - we are 9-3 but our offense does not make anything a slam dunk to get in .

Boise goes to access bowl, who fills Vegas? If this is the case I can see SDSU and AF splitting Vegas and Cheez it. Interestingly, sports illustrated has us vs ucf in the Vegas bowl projected yesterday! Actually theirs seems to have lots of very interesting mixups with Hawaii playing byu at the hawaii bowl, boise going to cheez it bowl, air force to armed forces bowl! |

If Boise State goes to Access Bowl then the remaining MWC fill the rest of the MWC bowls so Cheez It is likely out of the running. Can only fill other bowls if there are teams left over after all the MWC bowls are filled. In that case either Air Force or SDSU would go to Las Vegas Bowl.

I think the LV bowl would rather have us over Afa as we’ll bring more fans. Issue is that we have the b-ball game vs Utah at the same time. |

Hey guys and girls,
Don't shoot the messenger on this one.
I would like to see the Aztecs play the USC Trojans in any bowl game this year.
They will not schedule us so maybe a bowl game?
Just a wild azz dream, but dreams do come true!
Go Aztecs!

How is the Oregon win over Utah likely to affect the mix?

How does Washington State in the Cheez-It Bowl sound? That is what Jerry Palm of CBS Sports is currently projecting. Jerry Palm's Playoff ProjectionI would love to beat the Cougars in a bowl game, seems like they have had a history of going after, and getting guys we have recruited hard. Their good offense and porous defense against our good defense and questionable offense. |

We've shown we can be successful against Pac 12 teams and have several on our schedule in years to come. I want the Big 12 to become more aware of us. |
