2022 Bowl Projections

KPENN · Nov 9, 2022

Could you imagine if this team ends the year 10-3 with 3 of their final 5 wins coming against Clemson, USC and Penn State? Lol

Would be great but I don't think we can get matched up with Penn State in cotton bowl. I believe opponent would have to be highest ranked G5. That's my understanding.

Yup, we need to root for the G5's to stumble/collapse, and a thumping of U$C to boot.

@IrishLion can you put in your weekly watch list some notes on which teams we should be watching and cheering for? I can't handle all the math and scenarios in here.

This is who we root for.

Just checked out The Athletic’s bowl projections here: CFB bowl projections: Where do Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama go after the weekend?

1) they have us in the Gator Bowl vs. Florida which would be interesting and kinda fun since we haven’t played them in a long while.
2) Penn St in the Cotton Bowl? They will end up with 0 Top 25 wins. Talk about failing upwards on the coat tails of OSU and Mich.

Traveling to Florida to play the Florida Gators in the Gator Bowl sounds funny. Make it happen.

And you just know Gatorade is going to want to get in on that action, too.

Florida’s run D is a sieve

Stanford's is 125 in the country. So I am not overly confident which playcaller will show up.

This annual thread is about to turn into a big ole pumpkin, but we get one more week of enjoyment from it. We've had some early highs and some mid season lows but it looks like the bowl destination is likely coming down to one of three locations.

Show me CBS!

Dec. 30

Cheez-It Bowl

Projection: Notre Dame vs. Texas

You know Orlando bowl organizers would love to get this nationally-ranked matchup if possible. There's a chance Notre Dame slides into the New Year's Six if the Fighting Irish beat USC on the road next week, but for now, we're projecting Marcus Freeman's squad in Florida against the Longhorns. Texas obliterated Kansas to move to 7-4 on the season.

The Ocho!

San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl
Petco Park (San Diego)
8 p.m., Fox
Schlabach: Notre Dame vs. Utah

TaxSlayer Gator Bowl
TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville, Florida)
3:30 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Bonagura: Notre Dame vs. South Carolina

On the Shamrock post game pod I drowsily listened to last night it seemed like the Holiday Bowl was most likely at the moment, but much adventure remains (for another week or so)! So don't book those hotel rooms just yet.

zelezo vlk · Nov 20, 2022

Tbh I feel like the beat guys push the Holiday Bowl so much because they wanna go to San Diego and for no other reason.

Does Clemson going to the playoffs help open more NY6 chances?

It probably makes things worse for ND because a team ranked below them will get the ACC’s Orange Bowl bid.

JD Irish · Nov 20, 2022

All I care about is not playing in something called the Cheez-It Bowl. A bowl game against Texas would be great, though.

irishfan · Nov 20, 2022

I think we only get into a NY6 if one of Penn State, Bama, Tenn, or LSU lose this week. Or we could I guess jump PSU even without a loss. This is assuming we beat USC of course.

It's horse shit that we're part of the automatic acc bid

GATTACA! · Nov 20, 2022

So what is it. There are the 2 playoff games.

Georgia vs Clemson
OSU vs TCU

Rose which is B1G vs PAC12 which would be Michigan vs USC

Cotton is At-Large vs At-Large. One of these two will be a G5.

Sugar which is SEC vs Big 12. Does the sugar bowl have to take the SEC CG loser? Or could they go Tennessee over 3 loss LSU?

Orange is ACC vs SEC/B1G/ND. This will be UNC in the ACC slot.

So it looks like for two at large bids it will be between

Alabama
LSU
Tennessee
Notre Dame

~~I could see us being picked over LSU. Both with three losses and LSU will have needed with a possible drubbing onto Georgia.~~ This doesn’t matter one will be in the sugar bowl.

I think we need either Tennessee or Alabama to drop one.

Dizzyphil · Nov 20, 2022

Not to deprive anyone of their predictions.... the game vs. USC will be the tell-tale of where the Irish will/should land in a bowl game. I know that sounds convenient or, 'no shit' but - I'm looking at the Irish walking into Memorial with an attitude.

GATTACA! · Nov 26, 2022

Damn I want to play Tulane in the Cotton Bowl so bad.

Well then let's go Vandy.

Isn't Penn State in the mix there somewhere as well? (Despite having zero quality wins, they are in front of us.)

PolishDomer · Nov 26, 2022

Im really hoping for Gator Bowl selfishly as we are visiting family in Tampa for new years...

Huntr · Nov 26, 2022

Think the Holiday bowl is almost guaranteed, with the Clemson loss.

Irish Win
Tennessee Win
TCU win Big 12

I heard that on local radio this morning concerning Vols in Cotton or Orange

GATTACA! · Nov 26, 2022

Down goes Oregon and Clemson.

You win and the espn pundit sec sec class has the excuses at the ready. You lose to bk and you get memed to death and last thing we need after a mixed first year for Freeman. Just give me an easy win or a team that a loss is less cared about use the practices and get into the off season. My take is just my typical pussy ass risk minimization
