2025 Bowl Predictions

Here's what I found so far for projections:

Salute To Veterans Bowl - UConn vs. Old Dominion (ESPN-Bonaguru)
Cure Bowl - UConn vs. James Madison (NYTimes)
Myrtle Beach Bowl - UConn vs. Coastal Carolina (Athlon Sports)
Myrtle Beach Bowl - UConn vs. East Carolina (CFNews)
Gasparilla Bowl - UConn vs. Wake Forest (ESPN-Schlabach)
Fenway Bowl - UConn vs Navy (The Sporting News)
Birmingham Bowl - UConn vs. Navy (Pro Football Network)
Independence Bowl - UConn vs. East Carolina (HERO Sports)
Duke's Mayo Bowl - UConn vs. NC State (CBS Sports)

(Just FYI - many of the final predictions last year had us in the Fenway Bowl but nobody had us against UNC)
 
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.

Best chance at 10 wins for me.

I’ve only seen this prediction once for this week (Athlon). Have you seen it anywhere else?

Once Mora left and turmoil set in the upper echelon bowls like Dukes Mayo, Liberty, or Gasparilla might’ve slipped past our reach.

Yes, but I got disgusted and clicked out immediately. I guess based on where we were a few years ago, any bowl is good.

Would you guys rather play a G5 team and have a better chance at reaching 10 wins or play a tougher P4 team and have a lower win chance but against a higher quality opponent? I lean towards the latter.

I think you need to change your name, it's too triggering now.

Given that we now have guys declaring for the portal due to our former head coach bailing under cover of moonlight, I'd opt for the former to get a higher chance at securing 10 wins. That's the stat that's important now: 10 wins, not losing to a quality opponent and being "stuck" at 9 before our entire team and staff get decimated in the off season.

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
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

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.

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