Gotcha covered. This article is from yesterday. The Exploria is a newish, really nice soccer stadium in Orlando. This would be awesome for me.

December 20th in Orlando against Coastal Carolina?
That's not bad at all.

Post-Week 11 Bowl Projections for the 2024 College Football Season

It's the SEC and Big Ten's world and we're just living in it.

Not sure if this was posted but it’s got Armed Forces Bowl - UConn vs Navy - Dec 27

Also not bad at all.

Any way we get bid to Pin Stripe Bowl. Maybe ACC or Big 10 don’t have a team.

UConn/BC would be juicy.

Better yet. UConn - Rutgers

 

[Jetskies]

i know beggars shouldn't be choosers but i realllyyy hope the guys don't play in a bowl against a G5 team, if we end up 8-4. If by some miracle we beat Syracuse and then handle UMass, I DEF do not want to end up playing old dominion/GA Southern or someone like that. would be great to get a last shot at a mid P4 program.

The best bowl is the one with the highest payout

Better yet. UConn - Rutgers

That would be great for the Pinstrip Bowl.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

That would be great for the Pinstrip Bowl.

One predicted lineup for Pinstripe is Pittsburgh vs. Rutgers

Yes, that would reduce the financial loss of going.

 

[Windham4th]

I prefer it when they are match ups of teams that wouldn't normally play.

Is there that much of a pay differential amongst bowler are associated with?

My impression (and it's only an impression) is that there are big differences and that unless you are talking about an elite bowl, none of them come close to covering expenses. And as part of the deal the schools have to take an allotment of tickets which they then resell. That requirement is rarely a money maker.

Here you go.

After checking several sites, most only have the CFP payouts for the 2024-2025 bowl season. Everything I pulled up was one or two years old but it should give some idea of how much is paid out.

Bowl Game Payouts Are Practically a Small Fortune in College Football

College football bowl season is more than just silly-named contests that NFL-bound players opt out of. It's a money machine.

Are these for real? The Boca Raton Bowl? The Frisco Bowl that isn’t even San Francisco? The thrill of it all. Don’t get me wrong, getting to a bowl is way better than not getting to a bowl. What’s next, the East Hartford Bowl?

The Frisco bowl is in Frisco (TX), which is basically in North Dallas. Do people call San Francisco "Frisco" anymore?

I’m not sure that is really true anymore. It used to be that schools needed to buy a certain number of tickets but that isn’t the case any more. I suppose it depends on how you calculate costs, too. But I believe the bowls pay for transportation and they make a payout. The Myrtle Beach bowl was on the lower end. But nice place and a good time except for the outcome!

I am hoping for the Pop- Tarts Bowl, but that is a purely selfish wish.

It would be great if we were given a Bowl game where we could be favorited for once

 

[Alum86]

CBS SPORTS updated today has us still in Boca v Rutgers. Best scenario for older fans To travel. A bowl game the day after Christmas is a tough ask.

 

[RSTuthill]

UConn playing a P4 is preferred. Gotta start winning those games.
