2025 Bowl Predictions

[Waquoit]

They should include 2 more logos not eligible

They should move 2 logos not eligible to the eligible list? Seems a bit self-defeating to me.

To play in Jan would be an amazing gift! And with history against Baylor that will be brought up in the broadcast! The loudest place outside of Texas….

The game against Baylor at the Rent was awesome. Physically blasted them and Butler just about broke RGIII in half at the end of the game. At the end of the first half Deleston ran through a receiver trying to make a reception and ended the poor kids night. The Big12 refs did their very best to help Baylor, but there was simply nothing they could do. Great football game!

No. The graphic includes 134 FBS football teams. They should include all 136. The logos in bright color are the teams which are eligible.

Somebody has us going to Frisco to play Cal. Frisco Texas. Dec 23 might feel like cutting it close if you have holiday plans but as far as flights from BDL and a small city with a lot of modern development we could do much worse than that. Obviously no one knows how this shakes out but I like the matchup.

We’re going to play an SEC team in the Gasparilla Bowl.

We’re going to play an SEC team in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Where are you seeing that prediction?

What's the difference between Gasparilla and Root Beer?

Location: TBD in Frisco, Texas
Tie-In: AAC/CUSA/MAC/Sun Belt

December 23rd will be a difficult game for most people to attend

Root Beer causes Gasparilla

Tie-In: AAC/CUSA/MAC/Sun Belt
Projection: UConn vs. California

I like the location. How big is Frisco anyway?

The city? 200k and on northern part of DFW metro.
The bowl game? Bowl season fliller bowl. Payout is about $650k.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

ESPN has us in Tampa vs FSU
CBS has us in Tampa vs USF

Palindromic

Oh man! Beating FSU would be the perfect cap off to this season!

I would love to see UConn play FSU or Clemson in a bowl. Those are the two schools who said UConn wasn’t worthy to be in a conference with them.

This is bowl scenario:

The B1G currently has ten eligible schools; Ohio St, Indiana, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington, Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota. They also have four schools who are already eliminated; UCLA, Wisconsin, Michigan St & Purdue. What we need are the correct results for the remaining four schools.

If Nebraska beats Penn St on Saturday(not an unlikely outcome), Penn St is eliminated. If Michigan beats Maryland on Saturday (a likely outcome), Maryland is eliminated. If Ohio St beats Rutgers Saturday (very likely) and Penn St beats Rutgers the following week (not unlikely), Rutgers is eliminated. This leaves Northwestern, who would need to lose both ermaining games, hosting Minnesota and at Illinois.

I personally believe that if everything falls into place (the above four schools all getting eliminated and both Indiana and Ohio St making the CFP) the Pinstripe Bowl will be available for us. That's what I'm hoping for.

Pinstripe is a long shot. I don’t think Big 10 gives up NYC exposure even if it is out of eligible teams. They will give up the Quick Lane bowl in Detroit first.

The upper tier bowl I think people are sleeping on is the Liberty Bowl. The whole damn playoff is gonna be SEC teams so they will likely be short. Big 12 opponent. Wouldn’t be bad.

In the end i think we end up in Gasparilla. Just hope it’s a p4 opponent

 

[Woof 101]

Root Beer causes Gasparilla

FIFY...............All beers cause Gasparilla. 😜😁

 

[CTBasketball]

What's the difference between Gasparilla and Root Beer?

Root beer is a commonly produced carbonated soda beverage. Gasparilla is a pirate festival in Tampa FL named after Jose Gaspar, a famous pirate of the late 1700s.

Unless you mean Gassosa, which is an Italian lemon lime soda. Foxon Park, local to CT, produces root beer and gassosa.

I think you missed the joke.

Sarsaparilla.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Tampa on the 19th is great except for one thing.

I have a work trip that week and fly home from South Korea on the 19th.

Liberty Bowl against a P4 would be great.

Dude I suck at sensing sarcasm. Delivering sarcasm I can hang with the best. But now I see the joke.

With that being said who will be in Boca next weekend??

one of the most satisfying things about this season was Clemson-FSU, the meeting of titans bound for the Big Ten or SEC in 2031, was relegated to the ACC network. The “non-Nielsen rated” network as one scribe pointed out

Any scenario where Rutgers beats Penn State and its UConn/RU in the Pinstripe?
