Mountain West Conference Record in Bowl Games in 2024 Season
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.
Let's take a look at what bowl games teams from the Mountain West played in, and how they fared.
Mountain West 2024 Bowl Game Record

It wasn't the greatest showing for the Mountain West. Four of the five teams lost their respective bowl games, including Boise State who was bounced from the College Football Playoff in its first game despite a strong effort from Ashton Jeanty.
UNLV's Art of Sport Bowl-winning performance was led by quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams, who, despite completing just 5 of 18 passes, threw for two touchdowns in the 24–13 win. It was just the sixth time UNLV played in a bowl game and it marked their fourth bowl victory.
