What if we lose to New Mexico and then New Mexico loses to afa? Then it would be a 4 way tie between us, afa, New Mexico and unlv. How do the tie breakers work in that scenario?

We beat AFA and UNLV...so we would have the advantage there....

I've seen plenty of Wyoming teams lose games than this. Great win, even if the ball control was to be desired.

...and Bows beating the Bizon right now....

Cody said that is not necessarily the case… somehow

The only factor besides head to head is the CFP ranking. I am not thinking there will be any MWC team with a worthy ranking.

Fugly win

Actually felt like we dominated outside the 3 fumbles that derailed our O.

Against each other in this scenario:

Wyoming 2-1
AFA 2-1
UNLV 1-2
UNM 1-2

Wyoming should be the host by beating AFA.

There is a big document on the mwc website about it. I read it last week and think I followed it but you never know what the conference might do…

If there is a scenario of 5 teams at 5-2 then the records head to head will be 2-2 for each team and that is where the tiebreaker resolution gets difficult.

The trap wasn't thankfully

There is no scenario where that’s possible if Hawaii wins tonight. Right?

Hawaii lost

Official attendance was 8300. I know UTEP sucks and it was a late game, but that is still embarrassing.

I would bet many high school games in Texas had larger crowds on Friday night

I watched some of the Nebraska at Rutgers game. Official attendance almost 37,000. On the TV it looked pretty sparse for a big 10 game - probably under 20,000.

Took a peek at the ram nation board and there are suggestions of boycotting next week. One poster said they were more interested in attending the game in Laramie Friday.

Imagine if the Pokes had lost 6 in a row how sparse it would be attended on a Friday night.
