New Orleans Bowl (Dec. 16): UTSA vs. Appalachian State. UTSA makes its second straight bowl appearance in only its seventh year of football, while Appalachian State goes to New Orleans after two years of the Camellia Bowl for its first-ever bowl trips.

Boca Raton Bowl (Dec. 19): UCF vs. Florida Atlantic. If Lane Kiffin guides FAU to the postseason, it could be on the Owls' home field.

Frisco Bowl (Dec. 20): SMU vs. Oregon State. The former Miami Beach Bowl moves to Toyota Stadium in Frisco. Oregon State, projected to go 6-6, draws an at-large spot.

Gasparilla Bowl (Dec. 21): South Florida vs. Middle Tennessee. A great matchup -- AAC runner-up USF, projected to lose the conference title to Houston, and C-USA champion MTSU -- overshadowed by the St. Petersburg Bowl's new name: According to Brett McMurphy, it's the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl.

Bahamas Bowl (Dec. 22): Miami (OH) vs. Southern Miss. Both have had winless seasons recently, but both have rebounded nicely and get rewarded with a tropical vacation.

Heart of Dallas Bowl (Dec. 26): BYU vs. Western Kentucky. With no bowl tie-in this year, BYU is just waiting for a vacancy to make a 13th straight postseason appearance.

Would really like to go to the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl.

One of the craziest bowl title sponsors so far while being played in a stadium that looks like it was ran over by a lawnmower.
