2025 Schedule

[UConnRock]

The proper stepping stone for this season is getting ranked at some point. I think that is a reasonable goal.

This game is gonna really draw.

Assuming performance is on par with expectations/last year, I think nearly all the games are going to have healthy crowds and overall noticeable improvements in total attendance YoY. Slight bummer half of the home games are in colder November, but the quality of opponent will help cancel out the less desirable weather for more casual fans. As fun of a quirk as last year's homestand was, I think there was some crowd fatigue to give up 6 straight weekends at the Rent. A more equally dispersed home schedule will only help as long as the momentum continues.

if undefeated team, do we qualify for playoffs?

Not automatically I believe, Only the 4 conference champion and the highest ranked G5 conference champion get automatic bids. But we could get an at large bid if the committee decides we get one (it would be up to them), that is what I understand.

Agreed it would not be automatic, likely would have to finish in the top 10 or 11 when everything shakes out with the auto bids. Considering the schedule, unless there is some significant outperformance from our opponents, like a Duke v. Syracuse ACC Championship and one or two of the G5 teams winning their conferences, I would say it is not possible for UConn to make the CFP. However, I DOUBLE DOG DARE them to prove me wrong.

if undefeated team, do we qualify for playoffs?

No, but we would probably be rewarded a decent bowl.

Our schedule of strength would not merit a playoff spot.

Give me the Pop Tarts Bowl, the Sickos Committee may implode with that pairing

if undefeated team, do we qualify for playoffs?

I love the optimism but we are way out over our skis here. Winning football games is hard. Almost no game for UConn is a given.

To answer your question directly, if we go undefeated, we become the conversation point for why the CFP needs to be expanded. But we don't get a seat at the table right now.
