SEC East 3rd Place Game

"In Week 1, Wyoming beat Missouri and Georgia State topped Tennessee, so the winner of this game will be officially named the third-best team in the SEC East."

The writers of this articles are clearly biased against three and outs and single digit final scores if they rank this game as the least entertaining. :willybs:

All joking aside, as a Pokes fan I am very excited to watch this game to see what Levi has to offer and set up an exciting QB battle for next year as well as to watch one of the best LBs in the country and Wyoming history one last time in brown and gold. Go Pokes!

Hence the reason we're on CBS Sports Network, ESPN doesn't even take this game serious, too bad, we should win by quite a bit methinks/hopes

Isn't this like the only lesser bowl that ESPN doesn't have the rights to?

I am not surprised ESPN ranks our bowl last. CBS Sports writer had the game up a little bit higher with this https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...39-1-fiesta-bowl-rematch-intriguing-sun-bowl/:

34. Arizona Bowl -- Wyoming vs. Georgia State -- Dec. 31, 4:30 p.m.: Wyoming is one of my personal favorites, and I love Georgia State's Dan Ellington, but I worry this game won't be all that close. And if it is tight, it'll likely be boring.

We will see what happens, but I got to say one of the things I don't like about ESPN is they do absolute the least to promote and market Wyoming and the Mountain West. I hate hearing about SEC/Big Ten/ACC etc while watching the MWC games on the espn channels. It is lazy and stupid they waste so much energy chasing diminishing returns when with some really minimal effort they could make far greater returns by giving their product a little bit of hype. If that deal with CBS and Fox is the real deal I will not miss ESPN at all.

Although I would rank CBS only slightly better in their marketing.
