BYU Football: Bowl Projections After Loss to Coastal Carolina

BYU's bowl projections look very different after the Cougars suffered their first loss of the season against Coastal Carolina.

Last week, BYU was competing for the chance to play in a NY6 bowl. After suffering a loss to Coastal Carolina last weekend, BYU's bowl projections looks very different. Here is a recap of BYU's bowl projections from national analysts:

CBS Sports - Jerry Palm

Bowl: Idaho Potato

Opponent: Nevada

Jerry Palm never included BYU in the NY6 conversation this season. Palm now has BYU against Nevada in the Idaho Potato bowl.

College Football News

Bowl: Boca Raton Bowl

Opponent: UCF

Of all the bowl projections, this might be my favorite. It would be fun to see how BYU fares against a team with great speed like UCF.

Yahoo! Sports

Bowl: BYU

Opponent: Nevada

Bleacher Report

Bowl: New Mexico Bowl

Opponent: San Jose State

The New Mexico Bowl is not flashy, but San Jose State is undefeated.

247Sports

Bowl: Montgomery Bowl

Opponent: Liberty

A battle of two one-loss independent teams could be fun.

Stadium

Bowl: First Responder Bowl

Opponent: UTSA

Brett McMurphy must be for forgetting that BYU has already faced UTSA this season.

It's worth noting that Boston College has already opted out of a bowl game, and multiple reports suggest that more teams will opt out of bowl games this season. If multiple teams opt out of bowl games, could BYU find a spot in a better bowl than one mentioned above?
