ReliaQuest Bowl – Page 8 – Syndication Server

Two Big Ten teams named in ESPN’s latest bowl game projections

The Florida Gators are projected to play two different Big Ten teams in ESPN’s latest bowl projections post-Week 12.

ESPN’s latest bowl projections have the Florida Gators playing two different Big Ten teams in two different bowl games. Mark Schlabach is projecting the Orange and Blue to play the Illinois Fighting Illini in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl. Kyle Bonagura has the Gators playing the Iowa Hawkeyes in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

The TransPerfect Music City bowl is currently scheduled to be played on Saturday, Dec. 31 in Nashville, Tennessee, with kickoff scheduled for noon p.m. EST on ABC Sports.

Formerly known as the Outback Bowl, the Reliaquest Bowl is currently scheduled to be played on Monday, Jan. 2 in Tampa, Florida, with kickoff set for noon EST on ESPN2.

Illinois is coming off a 19-17 loss to Michigan, bringing their record to 7-4. After a 7-1 start, the Illini have dropped three straight games and now need some help in order to win the division and make the Big Ten Championship Game. They take on Northwestern Saturday in their final game of the regular season.

Iowa is coming off a 13-10 win over Minnesota, their fourth straight win. Now sitting at 7-4, the Hawkeyes have the inside track to the division title. If they beat Nebraska on Friday, they will play the winner of Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Michigan game in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Florida lost to Vanderbilt last week, dropping them to 6-5 with all five of their losses coming in conference play. They will head to Tallahassee to take on Florida State in a special Black Friday version of the Sunshine State Showdown. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST and the game will be broadcast on ABC Sports.

Their final two games are against Vanderbilt and Florida State, two teams that have shown significant improvement from last season.

First up, Vanderbilt. Their matchup with the Commodores will be their final SEC game of the year. Kickoff is scheduled for noon. EST and the game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

CBS Sports bowl projections has Florida playing this team

CBS Sports has released its latest bowl projections, with the Florida Gators taking on a Big Ten team in the Reliaquest Bowl in the new year.

CBS Sports has updated their bowl projections for the 2022 college football postseason, with the Florida Gators projected to play the Purdue Boilermakers in the Reliaquest Bowl.

Formerly known as the Outback Bowl, the Reliaquest Bowl is currently scheduled to be played on Jan. 2 in Tampa, Florida, with kickoff set for noon EST.

The Gators are coming off a 38-6 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks, clinching bowl eligibility in [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag]’s first season as head coach. Offensively, the Gators continued to dominate on the ground. They recorded 374 rushing yards, led by true freshman [autotag]Trevor Etienne[/autotag]’s 100 rushing yards.

He is the first freshman to rush for 100-plus yards in a game since [autotag]Malik Davis[/autotag] in 2017. Defensively, the Gators set the tone early, disrupting quarterback Spencer Rattler all game long. The Gamecocks’ only points came on a fake punt and Florida’s defense has not allowed a touchdown in six quarters.

Purdue is coming off a 31-24 upset win on the road against Illinois. With their win, Purdue now sits atop the Big Ten West division. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Boilermakers. They now sit at 6-4 and have two games remaining on the season: Northwestern (Home), and Indiana (Away). If they win both games, they would make their first-ever appearance in the Big Ten championship game. They have not won a Big Ten conference championship since 2000.

Purdue takes on Northwestern on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. EST on FS1. Florida will travel to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt in their final SEC game of the season. Kickoff is scheduled for noon. EST and the game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

CBS Sports has an intriguing bowl game prediction for Florida

Here’s who and where CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm sees Florida playing during the postseason.

Florida football scored an important win on Saturday against the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station — its first road victory of the season — that helped bring the team’s overall record back above .500 while notching its second win in Southeastern Conference play this season.

While the triumph came over a short-handed squad that has absolutely collapsed under high expectations in 2022 it nonetheless was the kind of outcome that the program could build on — especially given that this was the second-straight game that the Gators came out of the halftime locker room looking dominant.

With Week 10 of college football now in the books, it is now time to look ahead at the possible matchups come bowl season, including that of the Orange and Blue. CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm is among the many who have presented their projections over the past several weeks, and this time around, he sees the Gators facing the Illinois Illini in the ReliaQuest Bowl — formerly known as the Outback Bowl — on Jan. 2, 2023, in Tampa, Florida.

Last week, Palm had Florida facing the Washington Huskies in the Las Vegas Bowl, a destination that has been a popular prediction for the Gators not just at CBS Sports, but other media outlets as well.

Billy Napier’s squad can continue to climb up the bowl ladder with a win on Saturday against the South Carolina Gamecocks at home in the Swamp. Kickoff for the Senior Day matchup is slated for 4 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

Wisconsin plays in ReliaQuest Bowl in latest USA TODAY bowl projections

Wisconsin football lands in the ReliaQuest Bowl in the latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections:

After a blowout loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin Badgers are now predicted to play in the ReliaQuest Bowl, formerly known as the Outback Bowl, according to the latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections.

The Badgers are projected to play against the Kentucky Wildcats, who they have only played once in their history. The Badgers have played in five Outback bowls and hold an overall record of 3-2, winning their most recent in 2015 over the Auburn Tigers.

The projected College Football Playoff teams for this week are Georgia, Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State.

It will be interesting to see where the Badgers land next week, after an important Big Ten West matchup against the Illinois Fighting Illini this weekend.

Here’s CBS Sports’ bowl game prediction for Gators after Week 1

It’s still WAY too early to tell, but CBS Sports already has a prediction for where and against whom the Gators will play their bowl game.

Florida football scored a huge season-opening win over the favored Utah Utes on Saturday, an upset victory that has started a domino effect on the national rankings. The Gators are coming off a nadir year in 2021 that resulted in a complete turnover of the coaching staff, resulting in an unproven coach taking the helm of the program.

Those two issues were the main reason many were bearish on the Orange and Blue entering the 2022 campaign, with both major polls burying Florida far outside the top 25. However, that 29-26 victory in the Swamp made a strong statement to the national media and they have certainly taken notice since.

With the results from Week 1 now in the books, CBS Sports Jerry Palm took a stab at predicting bowl game matchups for this coming postseason, including the Gators’ destination and opponent. It seems that the team might be playing in the same venue as last season, albeit under a different name and against a different opponent.

Palm has Florida facing the Wisconsin Badgers on January 2, 2023, in the ReliaQuest Bowl held at Raymond James Stadium, down I-75 in Tampa. That particular bowl game, which was formerly called the Outback Bowl from 1996 to 2022, is set up to host either a Big Ten or ACC school against an SEC team.

Last year, the Gators also played in Raymond James Stadium but in a lower-level bowl game: the Gasparilla Bowl. That demoralized squad fell to the Central Florida Knights in what was the saddest de facto state championship game in recent memory cementing a losing record that season.

Hopefully, the Gator Nation is treated to a much better culmination of the schedule in Billy Napier’s first year.

See where ESPN has LSU in its preseason bowl projections

ESPN sets up a couple of interesting potential postseason matchups.

ESPN recently released its preseason bowl projections in which Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach predict where teams will wind up at the end of the season.

Schlabach has the Tigers playing against the Louisville Cardinals in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, on Dec. 30, while Bonagura has the Tigers playing against the Michigan State Spartans in the ReliaQuest (formerly Outback) Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tampa.

The Cardinals finished last season 6-7 and lost to Air Force in the First Responders Bowl. The Spartans finished last season 11-2 with a win over the Pittsburgh Panthers in the Peach Bowl.

It’s a new year on the bayou as [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] looks to bring LSU back to their glory days that we aren’t so far removed from. He was very successful during his tenure at Notre Dame, but the SEC could be a completely different story.

The new coaching staff and new players bring a lot of questions about just how good this team can be, and the answers are almost here as kickoff is less than two weeks away.

Where the Badgers and other Big Ten teams land in the latest CFN Bowl Projections

See where Wisconsin and other Big Ten teams are projected to play in the latest CFN Bowl Projections:

On Monday afternoon, College Football News released its latest bowl projections for the upcoming 2022 season, and 10 out of the 14 teams in the Big Ten are projected to make a bowl game this year.

The Wisconsin Badgers are projected to play in the newly renamed ReliaQuest Bowl, formerly known as the Outback Bowl, in Tampa Bay, Fla., against the LSU Tigers. The last time Wisconsin played the Tigers was a regular-season 16-14 victory at Lambeau Field in 2016.

Two Big Ten teams were projected to land in New Year’s Six Bowls including the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl and the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl.

It is outstanding to see so many Big Ten teams included in bowl game projections ahead of the start of this upcoming season, and hopefully, they can live up to expectations.

Below are the Big Ten teams projected by CFN to make a bowl game this season:
