Bowl projections - final week

And probably throw for another 500. Bowl host would have to add third digit to score board.

I prefer a challenge. So give me any P5 opponent anywhere. Beating the Thunder Ducks of Richland does nothing. Zero.

Maybe Kendal Briles will move on to South Carolina before the bowl game. It was be a just turn of events after Chad and Traylor left for Arky before the Frisco Bowl.

I think if Army wins against Navy, we will get them. If they lose maybe a fun match up somewhere else. Root for Navy.

I would be all for Army vs SMU. I actually like our chances vs a team that does not throw the ball well (see Navy) with weeks to prepare.

We play a team like Florida and it would be one of the most lopsided bowl games this year (and not in our favor). Far worse than what Florida Atlantic did to a far better SMU team a few years ago.

You might get an unmotivated Florida like when we played Pitt. I do wish we got to play SDSU in Frisco to make it the PAC12 invite deathmatch. I think we could beat them handedly and optics would be good. I would want to avoid UTSA since that could be the opposite. I think Tech would be a good match up for us if here locally and good optics.
