It’s way too
early to start projecting where college football teams will land in the series
of bowl games that begin in mid-December, but that hasn’t stopped major media
outlets from doing just that.

ESPN, USA Today
and CBS Sports are among the organizations to update their projections after
Week 4 games, putting down their experts’ thoughts on who will meet whom in the
College Football Playoff games, as well as in the other postseason bowl games.

Let’s play
along when it comes to the projections for the UConn Huskies, who are 2-2
on the season heading into their game Saturday against Syracuse. A team is bowl
eligible when it reaches six wins on the season.

The bowl lineups

This season,
teams are vying for a spot in one of 35 bowl games, plus 11 CFP games. They
start Dec. 12 with the Cricket Celebration Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in
Atlanta and conclude Jan. 25 when the national champion is crowned following the
CFP title game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Twelve teams
will play in the CFP, including the highest-ranked Group of Six team. It is not
too early to say that UConn (2-2) won’t get that nod.

So where could
UConn head this December?

What the
experts say

Projections
from ESPN
do not include UConn in any of the 35 bowl games.

CBS
Sports puts the Huskies in the Frisco Football Classic against Louisiana on
Dec. 15.

And USA
Today lines up UConn in the Boca Raton Bowl against Kent State on Dec. 18.

What are
these bowl games?

The Frisco Football
Classic is not to be confused with the Frisco Bowl, to be played Dec. 23.

Both games will
be played at The Star in Frisco, Texas, which is the home of the world headquarters
and training facility of the Dallas Cowboys. The 91-acre complex includes the
Ford Center, a 12,000-seat stadium.

The Frisco
Bowl is the more established of the two games. It was first played in Frisco
in 2017 after being formed three years earlier as the Miami Beach Bowl and subsequently
relocated.

The Frisco Football
Classic originated in 2025 and was known as the Xbox Bowl under a one-year
sponsorship agreement. It replaced the Bahamas Bowl in the bowl lineup last
year.

This December’s
edition of the Boca
Raton Bowl will be the 13th and played at Flagler Credit Union
Stadium in Boca Raton, Fla., on the campus of FAU.

First-year UConn
coach Jason Candle’s Toledo team played in the Boca Raton Bowl to end the 2025
season and lost to Louisville, 27-22.

The past two
seasons, UConn played in the Fenway Bowl in Boston to cap a pair of 9-4 seasons.

In 2024, the
Huskies defeated North Carolina 27-14. Last season, they lost 41-16 to Army.
