Y&BritBest conference showing: TCU couldnât cap the Mountain Westâs stellar bowl season with a win over Boise State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, but the Mountain West still won ESPNâs Bowl Challenge Cup with a 4-1 record. Itâs the second time in the past three years the Mountain West has won the award. Two of the conferenceâs wins came against Pac-10 teams and one against a Houston team that spent most of the season ranked. Wyoming won despite being one of the biggest bowl underdogs against Fresno State. The Mountain West has won the award three times since the award was created in 2002. Itâs the only non-AQ conference to win it.
2nd worst play for the pac none: Worst play, II: After BYU tied Oregon State 7-7 in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, the Beavers took over at their 40-yard line. On second down, running back Jacquizz Rodgers couldn't handle a backward pass from Sean Canfield, and Matt Bauman returned the loose ball 34 yards for a touchdown. That was the first fumble of Rodgers' career, and the Cougars dominated the game from then on.
