Updated Bowl Projections for BYU After the Bye Week

BYU is 4-1 and coming off a bye week. After a win over Cincinnati, BYU's chances of finishing with six or more wins improved to 68% according to ESPN FPI. One of the best perks of being a member of the Big 12 is the bowl tie-ins. Gone are the days of BYU knowing its bowl destination before the season kicks off. Today, we'll recap the latest bowl projections for BYU after week three.

ESPN Bowl Projections

Kyle Bonagura

Bowl: Guaranteed Rate Bowl

Opponent: Purdue

An Arizona bowl game would practically become a BYU home game. This would be a fun bowl matchup against a Big Ten opponent.

Mark Schlabach

Bowl: TaxAct Texas Bowl

Opponent: LSU

Revenge against LSU? This time BYU would cross the 50 yard-line, that's a Cougs Daily guarantee.

Action Network

Brett McMurphy

Bowl: Guaranteed Rate Bowl

Opponent: Nebraska

Another Guaranteed Rate Bowl projection against the Big Ten? You bet. This would be a rematch of BYU's 2015 win over Nebraska that ended in a Hail Mary on the final play.

CBS Sports

Jerry Palm

Bowl: Armed Forces Bowl

Opponent: Army

With all due respect to Army and the Armed Forces Bowl, this bowl is no different from the bowl games BYU played during the era of independence. BYU fans would probably be disappointed with this outcome.

College Football Network

Oliver Hodgkinson

Bowl: Texas Bowl

Opponent: Tennessee

If BYU faces Tennessee in a bowl game, it means fate brought these two programs together and the Vols bought out the return trip to Provo.

Brad Crawford

Bowl: Independence Bowl

Opponent: Colorado

No BYU fan wants to return to Shreveport, but a BYU-Colorado bowl game would be fun to watch. These two teams will be conference peers beginning in 2024.
