No one. We were all trying really hard to figure out how we could get 6 wins out of the schedule. We figured everything would have to go right for any bowl eligibility.
Win 2 out of the next 3 and we are almost certainly going to the MWC championship game (New Mexico has an outside shot if they win out and Boise drops another)...if one of those 2 wins is against SDSU, we are most likely hosting the MWC championship game...win 3 out of the next 3 and we ARE hosting the MWC championship game

Incorrect. Wyoming MUST win out to host the championship game (assuming SDSU wins out). If we beat unlv and unm but lose to SDSU we are definitely going to San Diego. Wyoming can win 2 of 3 and not go to the championship game as well, if we beat SDSU but lose to UNM there is a 3 way tie which goes to the highest ranked team, likely BSU. This is all assuming everyone else involved wins out. If CSU Beats UNM that gives us some significant breathing room. But to host the title game we have to win out. If we beat SDSU but lose another game I don't think we'll be ranked higher then them.

Keep in mind that host selection for the Championship game is dependent upon the rankings as well. It goes to the team that has the highest CFP ranking or if neither team is ranked in the CFP (likely scenario if it is us and SDSU after losing to us) than it goes to the team with the highest ranking in a composition of computer rankings.
It is possible that a 10-2 SDSU team would still have a higher composite ranking than a 10-2 Wyoming team even if we beat them. Looking at the Massey composite rankings they are 30th and we are 42nd. It could be pretty close in that scenario.
Fun to discuss, but obviously a long way to go still. No matter what, we have to beat UNLV to keep all these scenarios alive.
If we are able to go to Vegas and get a win, then we can really kick the scenario speculation into overdrive.

Let us enjoy our moment, it has been a long time coming!
The last time I was this excited about the team was 1996...I was a kid and stood in line to get Marcus Harris' and Josh Wallwork's autograph. I cried at the end of the WAC championship game.
...on a separate note, Josh Allen and Josh Wallwork (both JUCO transfers) remind me a lot of each other in the way they play the game (but Josh Allen has a better physical skill set)

I must not have laid the sarcasm on thick enough. I've been labeled a sunshine pumper here for the last two years. I'm glad people are finally starting to see what I saw coming all along!OrediggerPoke said:
