Bowl Game Predictions for the Cincinnati Bearcats

With the Cincinnati Bearcats' victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, they are now 6-1 and bowl eligible for the first time since 2022, when they played the Louisville Cardinals in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl. The Bearcats are 6-1, 4-0 in Big 12 games and control their destiny for the rest of the season. Here are some bowl games (excluding college football playoff games) that the Bearcats are most likely to end up in.

Alamo Bowl vs Utah Utes

The Alamo Bowl has always typically been a Big 12 vs Pac-12 matchup, but with the Pac-12 no longer being the power conference it once was, it has pivoted into Big 12 vs West Coast in the last couple of seasons. The Utes and Bearcats will meet this regular season on November 1st in Salt Lake City, Utah. This bowl game between the two would likely be a ranked and heavily anticipated game.

Pop Tarts Bowl vs Duke Blue Devils

The Pop-Tarts Bowl has blossomed into one of college football's most exciting bowl games in the last couple of years, and it would be awesome to see Cincinnati participate in it this season. I have them matched up against the Duke Blue Devils, who sit at 4-3 (3-1), tied for fourth in the ACC.

Liberty Bowl vs Mississippi State Bulldogs

The Liberty Bowl, in the past three seasons, has featured an SEC and Big 12 matchup, with last season being between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Arkansas Razorbacks. I have the Cincinnati Bearcats playing the Mississippi State Bulldogs, who are currently 4-3 (0-3), thirteenth in the SEC.
