2025 Bowl Predictions

[FfldCntyFan]

I believe the only path to the Pinstripe bowl ended when Penn St beat Nebraska and Northwestern beat Minnesota eleven days ago. Now there are too many eligible B1G schools.

I think it’s more likely we would take the ACC’s spot in the Pinstripe, as I expect some trading to happen and ACC teams will end up filling some SEC spots that are open because of the playoffs. But my gut tells me we end up somewhere else

Honestly the gator bowl sounds cool!

I’m not going to get upset over bowls this year. We’ve no idea who’ll be coaching, playing, suiting up, negotiating deals during week, etc. I’m thrilled that team found a way to win 9 games during the year. On to 26.

Despite having a ton of fun at the Fenway Bowl and hoping for the Pinstripe Bowl after FAU, I am more in this camp. Just along for the ride for the rest of 2025, not going to be overly emotionally invested in the game except for watching some great players one last time.

I do reserve the right to change my tune on this and almost definitely will when kickoff happens.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

As far as which bowl game I'd prefer, I'm at the point where priority one is getting win #10. Everything else is just background noise.

I’m not going to get upset about bowl SELECTION. Once we line up to play the game, I can promise you I will be just as pumped ready to root for a win as if none of this happened.

Another bowl projection:

Chat Sports: forgot about us (here's their full list);

UConn - 40
Opponent - 30

 

[Tm203]

Well we will not be playing in the Hawaii Bowl (Hawaii vs Cal) or Bahamas Bowl replacement (Arkansas State vs Missouri State).

 

[FightOnCT]

This is NOT the Frisco Bowl, it just happens to be in the same city as the Bahamas Bowl replacement.

And we are officially in bowl season

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

Pinstripe is a B1G/ACC contracted bowl. The only way an "outsider" can get in is if a conference can't supply a team.

Kansas State declining a bowl game

[JwittersPAC]

Let’s face it most bowl games are just not important anymore. CFP or bust.

 

[businesslawyer]

Pinstripe is a B1G/ACC contracted bowl. The only way an "outsider" can get in is if a conference can't supply a team.

Or unless the two conferences and the bowl agree to amend their contract. Which is how UConn got into Fenway last year.

I do reserve the right to change my tune on this and almost definitely will when kickoff happens.

I'm telling myself right now that I don't care, but once the game happens I will definitely care too much.

No Cure…

Two teams I'd rather not see in a bowl off the list.

Updated bowl projection from NYT: Gasparilla, vs. Kennesaw State

USF thought process:

Updated bowl projection from NYT: Gasparilla, vs. Kennesaw State

They're actually a pretty good team. Not a good draw for UConn football fans but think of it as a trip to Clearwater Beach and a chance to represent and you'll be fine.

To me; going to any bowl game is a good game this year. Happy for the team!
