Going BOWLING!!!

AJ and the Air Force Falcon football team are having a great season. They are currently 8-2 with 2 games left to play. They have, basically, guaranteed themselves a spot in a bowl game. Which game is not yet determined. They should play in one of the following 4 games...
1. The Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl on December 2oth
2. The New Mexico Bowl on December 20th
3. The Poinsettia Bowl, in San Diego, on December 23rd
4. The Armed Forces Bowl, in Fort Worth, on December 31st
Which game they play in depends on how they finish in the Mountain West Conference (MWC) and, of course, how the other teams finish.
How it works is a bit complicated but I will try to put in simply, or as I understand it. First and foremost, a team has to finish at least 6-6 in the conference to even be invited. Then the teams are invited in the following order...Las Vegas goes first, Poinsettia goes second, New Mexico and Armed Forces get the last 2 picks. In general it is the top 4 teams in the conference EXCEPT if the team that finishes first in the conference is chosen to play in a BCS bowl game.
This year, if all goes well, that will happen. UTAH is currently 10-0. If they can finish the season undefeated they should be a BCS buster and be invited to a BCS game. That then moves all the MWC teams up a notch.
At this time Air Force is currently tied for 3rd, with BYU. Whom Air Force plays this Saturday. Their final game is against TCU, who is currently second in the conference. Air Force has a chance to win those last 2 games. They are playing great football and there is no reason for that to change. If on the off chance they do NOT win the last 2 games then the worst they can finish in the conference is 4th. If UTAH becomes the BCS buster then Air Force will be picked third for a bowl game. If they do not then they will be picked 4th.
The bowl organizers are not required to pick the teams in order of finish BUT they are looking for the best game possible. They want to sell tickets, put people in the seats and generate TV viewers. AFA has shown they can do that!!
Where they will play will not be known for a few weeks. Anywhere is really great BUT if you are asking for my preference I will tell you.... Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. Not only is it local but that game will be played on AJ's 18th birthday. I couldn't throw him a better birthday party if I tried!!
