The Mountain West was well represented during this year's bowl season, with a total of five teams participating in a bowl game, including the Boise State Broncos who qualified for the College Football Playoff.
Representing the Mountain West conference in a college football bowl game included the Broncos, UNLV, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Jose State. The teams ultimately struggled in their games, with only the Rebels pulling off a win, giving the conference a 1–4 record. It was a bit of a step back in that regard compared to last season, when six Mountain West teams qualified for bowl games, three of whom delivered winning performances.
