2025 Bowl Predictions

Some current projections to see what's out there

ESPN
Birmingham Bowl - Protective Stadium - Birmingham, Alabama
American vs SEC (alternates CUSA, MAC)
Florida State vs. UConn

SI
Independence Bowl - Shreveport, Louisiana
Big 12, ACC, SEC, MWC??
Kansas State vs UConn


Last Word On Sports
Cure Bowl - Orlando, Florida
American/CUSA/SBC
Wake Forest vs UConn
The first two would be good due to the competition. And playing Wake would give UConn a chance to avenge last season’s loss and the loss in the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte. I attended the later and enjoyed the first half until Wake came back to win.
 
Idk who needs to hear this, but we won’t be in the Pop Tarts Bowl. That’s becoming a marquee bowl with all the cool marketing gimmicks they do, and I think they take two high finishers from power conferences.

I too want the Pop Tarts Bowl, but we need to adjust our expectations.

We get the Big Y brand fruit pastry bowl instead
 
Or Myrtle Beach, for that matter.

You could make a real argument that the 3-9 team was as good or better than the 6-7 team. Many losses were close. The lack of an NIL effort impacted the team from year 1 to 2 as that market kicked in.
That was not the vacation spot Myrtle Beach---that would be the coast during the summer. It truly is a fun place.

and as for 3-9, I too totally agree it could have been significantly better with a few minor breaks our way. We were close in several games.

I agree...Myrtle in summer is very different from Myrtle in the winter. We had an Airbnb on the beach for the bowl game. The day after the game, we had to kill time until an evening flight and walked the boardwalk...completely dead and vacant until we found a hideaway dive bar with pool tables and drank the locals under the table...and beat them at pool, to boot. Would have been more fun if we had won the game in that dreary weather.

I don’t think we will go either but not because of the big name brands being more preferred. Miami of OHIO went last Year. They’re gonna want us to be more on the East Coast because of a possible draw and travel. Pinstripebowl or a Fenway bowl would be great.

ughhh these are the exact kinda bowls i'm hoping we won't get.
still holding out hope to see Bell & Fagnano face a solid P4 program as their final game.

We HAVEEE to beat duke, to get a shot at a p4. if we lose to Duke, then we'll probably land in one of these ^ even if we finish 8-4 ... sigh
 
Wonder if the ranking of our key offensive players (JF/Bell/Edwards) make us a bigger draw than normal?
Obviously I’d think if we get 9 wins we’ll see a bigger bowl. Pinstripe, Fenway, Gasparilla, etc. 6-8 we’ll see Boca, Birmingham, or Myrtle.

I don’t they’d consider our star players because 75% of talent sits out bowl games.

I think biggest considerations are
1. How well Alumni travel for bowl game
2. Ratings expected based on matchup
