  ESPN has Colorado v. TDS projected in the Alamo Bowl. Seems strange. How often is a bowl a conference matchup? You would think ESPN would try to get Colorado in a higher-tier matchup because they are one of the few non-playoff teams that will draw a national audience.

  The PAC 12 bowls are still in contract with the PAC 12. They came to an agreement for the 2024 and 2025 that the contracts would stay in force and the “legacy” PAC 12 teams that left the conference would fill those slots. So in the Alamo instance, BYU would be the Big 12 team, and CU would be the legacy PAC 12 team. Alamo will pick first from these teams and they will certainly want the eyeballs that CU would bring. The fact they didn’t play each other this year would have it make more sense.

    That’s interesting I did not realize the p12 legacy bowls were a thing. Thanks

  Here’s why:
  
  After the 12-team CFP is set, the rest of the bowls make their selections. The Alamo Bowl has first choice among the old Pac-12 teams. (The Holiday Bowl has second choice.) The other team in the Alamo will be from the Big 12. Thus Colorado vs. TSPP.
  
  I believe this arrangement (old Pac12 vs Big12) goes through 2025.

  My prediction is that Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will not be playing in any bowl.

      Brother, I’ve seen a few players ruin the start of their pro careers by playing in a bowl game and getting injured. Could it be that their having to play in the bowl game is written into their NIL contract?

  Maybe the field could open up and swallow them both?

  Not even in the field. Only the twelve counts for anything. Hard pass.
