Washington State is bowl-eligible, but it's no big deal now
[...] his teams at Texas Tech never had a losing season and never missed a bowl game.
Quarterback Luke Falk said routinely qualifying for bowl games is part of a culture change that current players wanted to bring to Washington State.
[...] their attention turned to Saturday's game against Arizona, said Falk, who also dismissed reports that he intends to enter the NFL draft after this season.
The Cougars came back to win 35-31, behind 415 passing yards and five touchdowns by Falk.
Washington State last appeared in the poll in 2015, when the Cougars entered the rankings in Week 11 following a road win at UCLA, and stayed in the Top 25 for two weeks.
