Haven't heard a peep about it - no predictions at least. They seem locked in to B1G vs ACC matchups.Still nothing on any Pinstripe rumors?

Every part of that sentence sucks.Brett McMurphy now has UConn in Boca Raton vs Ohio.
I don’t know Pinstripe is possible. Always seems to get P4 teams for the game. My guess it is because of the high payment.It would suck if we end up playing another G5 school in the bowl game. I hope we get a P4 school. Pinstripe bowl would be awesome.
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 elseI 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.
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’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.
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.I’m not going to get upset over bowls this year.

I don’t have an account if anyone can work their magic
Pinstripe is a B1G/ACC contracted bowl. The only way an "outsider" can get in is if a conference can't supply a team.Haven't heard a peep about it - no predictions at least. They seem locked in to B1G vs ACC matchups.
Kansas State declining a bowl game
Or unless the two conferences and the bowl agree to amend their contract. Which is how UConn got into Fenway last year.Pinstripe is a B1G/ACC contracted bowl. The only way an "outsider" can get in is if a conference can't supply a team.
I'm telling myself right now that I don't care, but once the game happens I will definitely careDespite having a ton of fun at the Fenway Bowl and hoping for the Pinstripe Bowl after FAU, I am more in this camp.

I do reserve the right to change my tune on this and almost definitely will when kickoff happens.
No Cure…
Updated bowl projection from NYT: Gasparilla, vs. Kennesaw State
To me; going to any bowl game is a good game this year. Happy for the team!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.
