The Pokes join a 16-team field consisting of the top teams in the country. The Top-12 spots were gained automatically based on the 2025 NCAA Championships team standings. Eleven of those 12 accepted an invitation, as Penn State did not.

The final five spots were randomly drawn from teams that finished 13th-25th. The odds for each squad were based off their finish at NCAAs. Wyoming placed 22nd and thus had three ping pong balls in the cage.

The other four teams that randomly got selected include Little Rock, Arizona State, Lehigh and Missouri. Those teams join the 11 automatic qualifiers of Oklahoma State, NC State, Ohio State, Northern Iowa, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Cornell and Virginia Tech.

The bracket-style tournament will be held at the BOK Center. More than $1 million will be awarded to teams. The winning team will earn $200,000, while second and third reel in $150,000 and fourth brings in $75,000. Squads finishing fifth to eighth get anywhere from $20,000-$50,000, and the eight teams that don’t place go home with $20,000.

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.

Just The Facts: Size Doesn't Matter For Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium

Did you know it would take the populations of Gillette (32,857), Laramie (32,381), Rock Springs (23,319), Sheridan (17,844) and Wright (1,200) to create a sellout inside Michigan's famed 107,601-seat Big House, the largest college football stadium in the nation?

For those of you not familiar with the Cowboy State, those are Wyoming's third through sixth most inhabited cities, along with the small mining town in Campbell County.
