BYU Football finds itself in a position it hasn’t been in for nearly a decade, wondering what bowl game they’ll be playing in.
With the Cougars’ win over New Mexico State, they’re bowl eligible. However, unlike all the other years of BYU’s independence they don’t have a bowl tie-in for 2018.
Why not? Well, the Cougars had an agreement to play in the Poinsettia Bowl this year if they were eligible, but that bowl no longer exists.
BYU was left blowing in the wind.
But as a part of their agreement with ESPN, the network has promised to make sure that the Cougars land in a bowl game if they’re eligible.
