The Cowboys' non-conference slate is already set:

* Saturday, Aug. 31 at Arizona State

* Saturday, Sept. 7 vs. Idaho

* Saturday, Sept. 14 vs. BYU

* Saturday, Sept. 21 at North Texas

Game times and television schedules are still to be determined.

We also know who Wyoming will play at home and on the road

* at Colorado State

* at New Mexico

* at San Jose State

* at Washington State

* vs. Boise State

* vs. Air Force

* vs. San Diego State

* vs. Utah State

2024 will mark the return of the Battle for Jim Bridger's Rifle when the Cowboys host the Aggies inside War Memorial Stadium. The defending conference champion Broncos will also pay a visit to the high plains.

Wyoming's "protected" rivalries against CSU and Air Force remain. Jay Sawvel's squad will play inside Fort Collins' Canvas Stadium and host the Falcons.

San Diego State and its new head coach Sean Lewis will also play in Laramie. The Aztecs haven't traveled here since the 2016 Mountain West Championship game in 2016.

The Cowboys will face off against former defensive coordinator Jake Dickert and the Washington State Cougars in Pullman. They will also hit the road to take on a pair of first-year head coaches in New Mexico's Bronco Mendenhall and San Jose State's Ken Niumatalolo.

The league title game, which will feature the two teams with the best conference win percentage -- excluding Oregon State and Washington State -- will meet Dec. 7 on the home field of the highest-ranked team.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
