From ESPN+:

Schlabach- Birmingham Bowl vs SMU
Bonagura: Music City vs Wisconsin

Kind of a wild swing in terms of opponent prestige.

Good deal of inconsistency in these bowl projections. Guess it's fitting since we're somewhat inconsistent in performance so far.

Who would take Las Vegas Bowl right now vs UCLA or Music City vs Wisconsin or Texas vs Texas ?
That’s a tough one bc if we somehow win these next two, beating KY is a possibility and that puts us at a chance at 9-3
Does that get us the Citrus ?
Possible outside shot at Sugar or Cotton ?
These next 3 games are HUGE for us.

Still a wide range of very possible finishes for this team. 2 pretty sure wins and 2 pretty sure losses, then 4 games that could legitimately go either way. The pessimistic view is the only team we've played with a pulse outscored us 31-3 once they woke up. The optimistic view is other than that game we've generally played pretty well, those 4 teams are all beatable, and if we can just figure out that we've got a couple of receivers that need to sit, we could finish 8-4 or 9-3. The truth is probably somewhere in between. That said, I'd take the Vegas or Texas bowls right now.

If it came with 8 regular season wins, me too.

I'm scarred from LSU, so that's my current state of mind: give me 8-4 with an Egg Bowl win and I'll gladly wreck my currently-planned December schedule and head to Vegas.
