Colorado State (7-5, 5-3 Mountain West) will travel to Tucson, Arizona to take on Nevada (6-6, 4-4 MW) in the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl Dec. 29. The all-Mountain West matchup will mark the first time since the 1979 that two teams from the same conference will face off in a bowl game.
The game will also be the first since 1994 to not be nationally televised. Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson was not pleased with the news.
“Clearly, the system is broken,” Thompson said in an official statement Sunday. “… There is consensus change is needed and this year’s outcome must not be repeated.
