Group of Five college football teams that could make the New Year's Six.

4 - Cowboys
So with Boise State removed from the equation, I look to the rest of the Mountain West for a candidate, and while there are a few, Wyoming is the one that stands out the most. The reasoning for this is rather simple. Craig Bohl has a winning track record as a coach and last year's Wyoming team took a significant step forward, improving its win total by six games. Wyoming also has a quarterback in Josh Allen that many believe could be one of the first players taken in the NFL Draft next season. The Cowboys also have big games against Iowa, Oregon and Boise State, and wins in those games would definitely grab attention. So when you put those three factors together, you've got yourself a stew going. My primary concern here, though, is that Wyoming is going to be a young team in 2017. A young team can win, but it's possible Wyoming's best shot at a New Year's Six spot could come in 2018.
