CFN Preview/Bowl Projections

by **East Coast Mustang** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:41 pm

Hadn't seen this posted yet -- my apologies if it already has been. Nothing earth-shattering here, basically says our secondary is a huge question mark and Burcham will be a key to the season:

Also, CFN's June bowl projections have us playing Bowling Green in the Bahamas Bowl on Christmas Eve Day. Hey, that'd be a fun trip!

Bahamas Bowl is no longer an AAC Bowl as of a few weeks ago

Ah, looks like the AAC traded the Bahamas Bowl for the Miami Beach Bowl, which BYU has already accepted a bid too (that's weird). Miami would be a fun destination as well, although I imagine one of the Florida teams -- USF or UCF -- would probably be the frontrunner for that one

UCF will probably end up in the BCS bowl...maybe USF if they are bowl eligible.

AAC doesn't have an auto bid this year and UCF loses Bortles

True, but I'll bet the American champ will end in the access bowl by default, unless we see an undefeated Northern Illinois or Boise State team.

UCF will probably be solid this year again. They have a well rounded team. Is it known who their QB will be next year? (Wondering if we will see Tyler Harris play this year...)

I'm hoping Matt Davis will step up this year. He's seems the perfect QB for the Red Zone (even if he doesn't start) with our poor record of scoring TDs when we're close. JJ usually stays with his passer even with the shorter field, unfortunately.
