2025 Bowl Predictions

[Hskies4Ever]

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.

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 will say it again….anyone but Navy.

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.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

duke's mayo vs wake on Jan 2 perhaps

Potentially, payback against Wake for 2024 shystery ACC calls + Charlotte’s 2007 Meineke Car Bowl (us 10 them 24).

Additional projection:

USA Today - Boca Raton, vs. Coastal Carolina

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

USA Today - Boca Raton, vs. Coastal Carolina

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.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Lat time UConn was 9-3 they played Wake Forest in a bowl game and lost. Maybe it's time to avenge that

I’m gouging my eyes out with a pitchfork if I have to see the slow mesh in person again.

I think their new coach did away with that nightmare scheme this year.

I’m back in for revenge on Wake.

 

[Redding Husky]

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).

 

[snoopy]

Another bowl projection:

Draft Kings: Gator Bowl, vs. NC State

 

[Kolumbo]

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!

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

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).

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.

Still nothing on any Pinstripe rumors?

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

Better not say that out loud in Memphis or you might end up as bbq. LOL

 

[BugsyCT]

Still nothing on any Pinstripe rumors?

Haven't heard a peep about it - no predictions at least. They seem locked in to B1G vs ACC matchups.

 

[BugsyCT]

Brett McMurphy now has UConn in Boca Raton vs Ohio.

 

[Purple Stein]

Brett McMurphy now has UConn in Boca Raton vs Ohio.

Every part of that sentence sucks.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

It would suck if we end up playing another G5 school in the bowl game. I hope we get a P4 school. Pinstripe bowl would be awesome.

I don’t know Pinstripe is possible. Always seems to get P4 teams for the game. My guess it is because of the high payment.
