Most recent bowl projections

[bullcocky101]

Hey guys, here are the most recent bowl projections. It appears that everyone is nearly unanimous that a two loss Bulls team will end up at the Bad Boy Mowers Bowl in St. Pete against F_U. Obviously, I want to go to the Peach Bowl, but a game against F_U would be a good chance to get an in-state win and good for recruiting.

I might have to fly down for that one if it should happen.

I am still aiming for the  NY6 bowl...hopefully not against Auburn, they look **** good this year lol But if we get in a lessor bowls, I would love to face a wounded UF/FSU, ACC/SEC team in a lower bowl.  Playing FIU/FAU would be cool, just for the sake of distinguishing ourselves from the other Florida teams.

The less said about FAU/FIU the better. I am fairly sure we would beat them, but much like playing UF/FSU does nothing for them FAU/FIU do nothing for us. We aren't getting UF or FSU even if they go bowling-yeah, it's a "beat them while they're down" situation, but they don't even want to risk that loss.

A TWO loss USF? So Tulsa is favored?

They misspelled “Peach Bowl”

There is a legit chance we get sent to the military bowl to play FSU. The tie in is for AAC vs ACC. Usually it is the 2nd/3rd best AAC team vs the worst/one of the worst bowl-eligible ACC teams, much like the Birmingham and SEC. Here would be the list of likely oppenents.

FSU 6-6

UVA 6-6

BC 6-6/7-5

Wake 6-6/7-5

G Tech 6-5

Duke 6-6 (most likely not getting to 6 wins though)

Louisville (most likely gonna finish 8-4 but always a chance they lose to Cuse and/or UK)

Adding to that, here are the last 3 matchups since it went to AAC vs ACC.

2014 Va Tech 6-6 vs Cincy 9-3

2015 Pitt 8-4 vs Navy 10-2

2016  Wake Forest 6-6 vs Temple 10-3

I tell you the AAC bowls suck.   Giving FSU a bowl is about money and alumni.    They only will make it if they beat the Gators.
