2025 Bowl Predictions

That’s what everyone keeps saying but isn’t it a bit late in the game to just create a new bowl out of thin air? Lol
Didn't they do that before? ESPN whipped one up out of nowhere? I kinda remember. Anyone recall?
 
Frisco Bowl… reincarnation of the Miami Beach Bowl I think.
I found this from 2021.

A one-time replacement bowl game is expected to be developed this college football season after the Division I Football Oversight Committee on Thursday approved a request to waive the April 1 bowl game certification application deadline, according to a document obtained by ESPN.

This summer, the San Francisco Bowl told the NCAA, the Big Ten and the Pac-12 that it would not conduct a game this year. The bowl system entered this season anticipating 41 games with 82 teams needed to fill all of the available spots -- but there are now 84 "deserving" teams after Hawaii finished the season 6-7.

Can you make up a bowl at the last minute and fill it up with excited fans? Of course not. Can you rent a stadium, invite two teams and get yourself 3 and a half hours of live event to put on ESPN2 in December? Yup. Guess which the goal is?

What is option 1 for 1000, Alex?
 
I don't see why you can't create a bowl out of thin air. Most of us have to wait until the bowl assignments become official to book travel. That's why I had to laugh when the Fenway Bowl sent me an email a few weeks ago saying tickets were already on sale.

It's even less getting eyes on ESPN2 and more getting more content for bettors
