The Armed Forces Bowl has had Air Force in each of its last three games; it could be ready for a fresh face, and BYU has historically pulled a good number of fans from the Metroplex and greater Texas region.
No offense to the "Land of Enchantment," but BYU fans would rather not discuss the possibility of a postseason game in Albuquerque. Then again, the beggars/choosers relationship is well-established, and BYU is currently a postseason panhandler. Three more wins earn a plane ticket and bowl itinerary; any slip-up in the next three weeks will almost certainly keep the Cougars' pockets empty this postseason.

One game at a time. This BYU team isn't good enough to look past anybody. Just focus on winning this Saturday and potential bowls will take care of themselves.
What if! BYU wins it's next 4 games finishes 7-5 and tied for second in the MWC with a win over it's tie mate, Utah, provided the Utes lose to TCU. HMMMM, stranger things have happened!
0% chance tds goes bowling.
They'll drop one of the next 3 before losing by 30 in the beatdown provided courtesty big brother.
National Champ for Utah
No Bowl for byu.
Tough choice for future recruits
