Ten wins would be nice but I'd still prefer a P4 matchup. Playing a P4 is always more appealing for a bowl game, although I worry how our defense will fare against any P4 or G5 team.

Defense would play poorly but as long as the whole offense plays we would score a lot of points. A high scoring affair. It would be a fun bowl game.

Going off what Scott has said about the SEC slots not being filled, my best guess is we end up in one of the following:

Gasparilla
Liberty
Duke’s Mayo
Pinstripe
Fenway

Any of those would be a good spot for us, and almost certainly against a P4 team. I’m confident we’ll be happy with what we get
Expand ...
Dukes Mayo payout almost $4.78M in 2022...........we'd take that in a heartbeat, no matter who we play but then there's............
Liberty Bowl with a $4.7M payout in 2022............ then
Pinstripe Bowl at $4.4 M in 2022............then
Fenway Bowl at an estimated $2M in 2022 and...........
Gasparilla Bowl at $1.125M in 2022

Also: Bowl Game Payouts Are Practically a Small Fortune in College Football

Note the Myrtle Beach Bowl payout!

Is that for both teams combined? My guess is the conferences will make sure they take most of the bowl money even if we are invited to that Bowl.

Everything I’ve seen says the Myrtle Beach Bowl against Coastal Carolina. Being 9-3 and never having lost a game in regulation, I was hoping for a game with a little more sizzle.

You were hoping? You give enough credence to internet rumors to be disappointed by them?

That total is split by the two teams. Typically that money would go back to the conference to be divided up by the membership, but since we’re independent… 💰 💰 💰

I'm still surprised the powers that be allow this because it appears to be the single exception to Rule 1.

My guess is the conferences will take the share of the bigger bowl payments and even if we are invited to one of the bowls that pay more we will receive payment of the lesser bowl.

That’s the quality destination, Bush’s Best Boca Raton Bowl of Beans bowl. Tues 12/23 2 pm ESPN.

Convenient for Florida and SE players’ families, alumni, other UConn fans and Sunshine State recruiting exposure, less so for Christmas week flights.

I’d love the Liberty Bowl against K-State. I’m in Dallas and could get to Memphis with my son. Good bbq in Memphis (but not as good as Dallas).

Curious if Brett Yormark attended the big game last night to see our UConn Huskies beat Kansas in Phog Allen. Poor guy doing his best for the Big XII. Some projections have Oklahoma, some have BYU. Brett - Help us help you!

Along with whichever bowls are in Shreveport and Birmingham, Memphis may not help attendance by UConn students, alumni and other Huskies’ fans.

BYU needs to win BIG12 championship game to get in. Only way BIG12 gets two teams in to CFP is if BYU beats Texas Tech.

Kansas State travels well to bowl games. This is a chance to show BIG12 that UConn travels well.
