I have seen projections of Alamo, Vegas and Holiday. With opponents ranging from Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
I would prefer Vegas for proximity. Missouri and LSU will probably both finish 8-4 in SEC.
i would love 9-3 USC in Vegas Bowl, but that is unlikely. Iowa just throttled Nebraska and will finish 8-4. Nebraska at 7-5 doesn’t excite me. Washington will also likely finish at 7-5. Illinois could finish at 8-4 with a win over Northwestern. If they lose, both will finish 7-5.
We won’t play a former PAC-12 foe since the bowl agreements are still active.
BYU played CU last year.
Its only for former pac-12 teams.
Any chance we can play Michigan ? Too lazy to look myself.
I hope we play Clemson and kick the ■■■■ outa them…
A couple of years later and I’m still having to wrestle my brain and remembering that Vegas bowl is no longer the piece of craft that it used to be. With a really decent high quality modern stadium to play in, as opposed to Sam Boyd way out there in the middle of nowhere, it’s actually pretty cool to have it there in the heart of the strip. It’s a lot more of a desirable location to go especially for us. The prestige of the bowl is what’s lacking at this point.
I picked up COVID at Utah’s last Las Vegas bowl appearance. I’m willing to sacrifice again for Dear Old Crimson.
Please don’t let it be against Nebraska. They’ve lost 3 of their last 4.
Plus, their starting Q.B. is out !
Screw it!
Let’s kick their corn-husking butts.
Go UTES!
2 of my team are in Omaha and big Husker fans. They said if we play them in a bowl, they are sorry that we got shafted against such a poor team. They lost their starting qb to a leg injury, leading to the season ending slide.
Obviously utah has a long history of disaster following starting QB massive injuries, so there is definite commiseration there.,
A guy I know pretty well ( Who’s a huge Husker fan)has already apologized if we have to play Nebraska.
I have no delusional thoughts that Utah gets into the CFP, but explain to me how Miami, who has lost to 2 unranked teams and struggled to beat a 5-7 FSU team ( that lost to Stanford) is ranked higher ?
The only answer that I can give is that they’re Miami, and on the East Coast. They get loads of press, and are expected to be good because they’re Miami. You know, the person who’s famous because they’re famous type thing.
Beat ND. Better than any win we have.
Also lost to 2 unranked teams, worse than any loss Utah has.
Because they’re the “U” …?
Ah the famous because they’re famous thing. Such and up and down program there in Miami. Gotta boat load of money, but damn they’re up and down.
While I am usually happy to see ND eat it..they have a right to scream bloody murder over being dropped out for a 3 loss Alabama who got spanked by Georgia.
Oregon is probably happy to have a scrimmage against James Madison.
This current setup is…absurd and amusing and a perfect reflection of the state of college sports.
