Western Athletic Conference



WAC teams and bowl tie-ins:

  • Fresno State (8-5) Lost to NIU in the Humanitarian Bowl, 40-17.
  • Hawaii (10-5) Lost to Tulsa in the Hawaii Bowl, 62-35.
  • Idaho (6-7)
  • Louisiana Tech (5-7)
  • Nevada (13-1) Beat Boston College in the Fight Hunger Bowl, 20-13.
  • New Mexico State (2-10)
  • San Jose State (1-12)
  • Utah State (4-8)

Bowl Tie-Ins:

  • Humanitarian Bowl--Versus MAC.
  • Poinsettia Bowl--Versus MWC.
  • Hawaii Bowl--Versus Conference USA.

The 3 bowl tie-ins are pretty reasonable as the WAC is looked at as lower than the MWC. They do not get the chance to play any big 6 schools unless circumstances change. The next few years can make or break the coneference as a bowl player.
