To be honest I don't even want to think about a bowl yet. Yeah we've got 3 wins, but there is still plenty of time for the season to go wrong. Remember, we were 6-6 last year and did not receive an invite. AND we needed to win the last four games to get to 6 wins... so let's take it week by week and see what happens.

Go Pokes!

It's fun to follow. But Liberty Bowl is just silly. I'm pretty sure the SEC will fill the slot.

Fun thinking of all the possibilities, and if the Cowboys play to their potential what they can achieve. Some are high on them and others not so much. This week will tell us whether we will be a 6-6 or 7-5 team vs a 8-4 to 10-2 type team.

Thanks for the update. Arizona Bowl is moving to New Year's Eve this year in Tucson. So personally, this would be great.

That said...come on Pokes let's make the Vegas Bowl!

I always like to see how varied these are throughout the year. Vegas against USC would be a lot of fun. We could go beat another LA school in Vegas! I guess this is under the assumption that Boise wins out and goes to a NY6 game?

Yes Boise would have togoto a NY6 bowl for the Vegas scenario to happen, plus we would probably only be afforded 1-2 more losses on the season to get that bid.

Not true. Boise State is not crowned MWC champions just because they are Boise State and, as a Wyoming fan, I am not chalking up a loss in Boise just because they are Boise State. We play to win the game. And you know what, Boise has a freshman QB and this Wyoming team has a lot of heart. Anything can happen.
However potentially unlikely, I am not counting out Wyoming to win a conference championship.

Apologies, I wasn't intending to make it sound that way, it was just the short sighted view on my part with winning the championship being the unlikeliest scenario.

Gotta get 7, regardless
