2025 Bowl Predictions

[Chin Diesel]

I'm a Hellman's guy. Plus their name is Duke... no thanks.

All mayonnaise is disgusting, but if you are going to use mayo, it's gotta be Kewpie.

Okay all you idiot 9 year olds. Back to task. CBS SPORTS has us in Tampa v. USF IN the Gasparilla Bowl.
Meh, or Yeh?

I would to go to that game. Actually I would go no matter where or who they are playing. I am hoping for the one in Memphis against a Big 12 opponent. My wife wants a bowl game where it is warm.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

The "stand" they took for over 100 years was demolished in court. You remind me of those guys that used to say, "If you leave early for the draft, you should have to pay back your scholarship"!

You don't let the inmates run the asylums. Universities exist to serve as educational institutions, not minor leagues for professional sports. We are talking about fulfilling your responsibility as a member of a team invited to a bowl game is not too much to ask of someone who has received a college scholarship. Maybe the answer for all schools is to just not to offer scholarships. Can't allow players to run college sports.

Memphis has been quite snowy and icy a few winters in a row, so Florida or southern Texas would be better bets for that. Baylor in Memphis would be fun for sure.

I’d love to godsmack a middling ACC team around again in the southern United States.

 

[ScottVib]

Any P4 at any location, preferably one easily reached.

A game against a G5 is all risk. A loss hurts, regardless of how good the opponent actually is. Any P4 game is preferable... a P4 win, no matter how mediocre gets classed as UConn was 3-1 against Power conference teams in 2025, & a loss doesn't hurt as it's "expected."

Memphis in Dec/Jan can get plenty cold.

I know that Memphis can be very cold this time of year. My wife and I are not going agree on preferable bowl game locations. I loved the Fenway bowl game last year. She went but wasn't thrill with the weather.

That may have been the worst organized bowl game I’ve ever been to. However, it was a blast because we won.

A couple sites projecting FSU . I would absolutely love to play them. This is a great matchup. I hope it happens. Plus, many of their seniors would probably skip the bowl getting ready for ur

Ironically, Joly may have ended this possibility

 

[uconnbill]

Heck, I want a bowl game that pays well and gives UConn football exposure. That is what matters most to me.

I do NOT want to play Navy.

If we get Miami of Ohio, I blame you

Mayo is OK. Problem is people slobber it onto a sandwich like they were pouring it on that guy's head.

 

[Waquoit]

Mayo makes a sandwich go from good to great.

 

[Alum86]

On a personal level, playing USF in Tampa will always bring back great memories.

I say yeh-ish because IF UConn beats FAU and finishes 9-3, I'd like to have a P4 opponent in a bowl game.

But if it has to be G5, USF is a great option.

Have not been to Tampa since college days way back when. Went to the “Old Sombrero” and saw a Tampa Bay Bandits game. Their uniforms looked like the present day Bucs. Maybe they got a deal when the USFL disbanded.

Agreed...though selfishly hoping to attend like I did with MBB and Fenway Bowl...

So...hoping for one of these...in order...

Pinstripe
Fenway
Charlotte (college buddy happens to live there)

Heck with mayo, I hear they’ve got top notch car washes down there run by people in the know.

 

[snoopy]

Not sure if anyone has said it already; but today’s game will be played in the same stadium as the Boca Raton bowl. An excellent opportunity for the team to scout out a potential bowl site.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Charlotte’s Mayo bowl requires either the ACC or SEC not to have enough bowl-qualified teams. Or, bowl horse trading. Unlikely UConn destination, but stranger things have occurred.

 

[ZooCougar]

Give me the Chico's Bail Bonds Presented Bowl Presented by Goody's Headache Powder against Coastal Carolina. 10 wins would be nice.

 

[BonaConn]

Bowls? We can still make the CFP as an undefeated team in regulation if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

Cross your fingers for Gasparilla vs. 8-4 transfer portal riddled Tennessee.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Post FAU win, 3 weeks until the
earliest possible, albeit unlikely bowl game (12/13, LA Bowl Pac 12 vs MWC schools).

 

[snoopy]

Does anyone know why CBS forgot UCONN in this week’s bowl projections? (Yes, right after our 9th win).
