Conference championshipsBy year
By team
Championship gameThe Western Athletic Conference staged a conference title football game during the three years (1996–98) the league consisted of sixteen members. During this time, the league was split into two divisions, Pacific and Mountain, with eight teams in each division. The top finisher in each division played for the championship, which was held at Sam Boyd Stadium in the Las Vegas Valley. When conference membership was cut in half in 1999 with the formation of the Mountain West Conference, both the championship game and two-division format were discontinued. All participants in the three title games were among the defections to Mountain West. Below are the results from all WAC Championship Games played. The winning team appears in bold font, on a background of their primary team color. Rankings are from the AP Poll released prior to the game. ABC Sports televised all three games.
Results by team
Bowl gamesThe first bowl game appearance by a WAC team was at the 1964 Liberty Bowl, where Utah defeated West Virginia of the Southern Conference, 32–6.[5] The WAC had conference tie-ins with various bowl games during its history, including:
Bowl Championship SeriesThe WAC champion received an automatic berth in one of the five Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl games if they were the highest ranked non-automatic qualifying conference champion and either of the following:
By qualifying under the first criterion above, Boise State landed a berth in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, and Hawaii received a bid to play in the 2008 Sugar Bowl. In 2009, the Mountain West champion TCU Horned Frogs received the automatic BCS bid by finishing higher than Boise State in the final BCS rankings. However, Boise State received a BCS at-large bid and defeated TCU in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. In three BCS bowl games, the WAC recorded two wins and one loss. In addition to those three teams that played in BCS bowls, four other WAC teams qualified for a BCS berth but were not selected to play in a BCS bowl game: TCU in 2000 and Boise State in 2004, 2008, and 2010.
RivalriesNotable football rivalries involving WAC teams are listed below. Records are not limited to years that the WAC was active.
Divisional alignmentStarting in 1996, the 16 conference members were divided info four pods, each with four teams. Two pods comprised the Pacific Division, and the other two pods were the Mountain Division. Pod one would always compete in Pacific, while pod four would always compete in Mountain. The other two pods were scheduled to swap divisions every two years, with the new alignment to take effect in even-numbered years. The pods and divisional alignment were discontinued after 1998. {{Location map+|USA|width=420|caption=WAC member locations during the four-pod system (1996–1998)|relief=no|places= {{Location map~|USA|label=⇙ Hawaii|position=right|mark=Red pog.svg|link=Hawaii Rainbow Warriors|lat=22|long=-120}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Fresno State|position=right|mark=Red pog.svg|link=Fresno State Bulldogs|lat=36.81333|long=-119.75}} {{Location map~|USA|label=San Diego State|position=right|mark=Red pog.svg|link=San Diego State Aztecs|lat=32.77528|long=-117.07222}} {{Location map~|USA|label={{nowrap|San Jose State}}|position=right|mark=Red pog.svg|link=San Jose State Spartans|lat=37.33528|long=-121.88139}} {{Location map~|USA|label=UNLV|position=right|mark=Green pog.svg|link=UNLV Rebels|lat=36.10779|long=-115.14376}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Air Force|position=right|mark=Green pog.svg|link=Air Force Falcons|lat=38.99028|long=-104.85833}} {{Location map~|USA|label={{nowrap|Colorado State}}|position=right|mark=Green pog.svg|link=Colorado State Rams|lat=40.57484|long=-105.08098}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Wyoming|position=top|mark=Green pog.svg|link=Wyoming Cowboys|lat=41.31306|long=-105.58139}} {{Location map~|USA|label=BYU|position=right|mark=Blue pog.svg|link=BYU Cougars|lat=40.25|long=-111.65}} {{Location map~|USA|label=New Mexico|position=right|mark=Blue pog.svg|link=New Mexico Lobos|lat=35.08389|long=-106.61861}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Utah|position=top|mark=Blue pog.svg|link=Utah Utes|lat=40.765|long=-111.85}} {{Location map~|USA|label=UTEP|position=right|mark=Blue pog.svg|link=UTEP Miners|lat=31.77|long=-106.505}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Tulsa|position=right|mark=Yellow pog.svg|link=Tulsa Golden Hurricane|lat=36.15222|long=-95.94639}} {{Location map~|USA|label=TCU|position=left|mark=Yellow pog.svg|link=TCU Horned Frogs|lat=32.70961|long=-97.62823}} {{Location map~|USA|label=SMU|position=right|mark=Yellow pog.svg|link=SMU Mustangs|lat=32.841|long=-96.784}} {{Location map~|USA|label=Rice|position=right|mark=Yellow pog.svg|link=Rice Owls|lat=29.71694|long=-95.40278}}}}
