Preseason college football bowl predictions: Will ASU, Arizona make the cut?

[plist name=”asu”][/plist]

In Tempe, expectations are for head coach Herm Edwards’ team to finish with the worst record in his five-year run leading Arizona State.

In Tucson, there’s only up to go with Jedd Fisch’s Arizona team hoping to win more than one game like in 2021.

FanDuel Sportsbook puts the Sun Devils’ over-under win total for the regular season at 5.5, right on the cusp of bowl eligibility. The Wildcats’ bar is lower, at 3.5 wins.

When it comes to who makes a bowl game, it doesn’t look good for either.

Culling over predictions from nine reputable writers representing seven publications who made picks in the past several weeks, only two have ASU getting to bowl eligibility.

One daredevil believes Arizona can make a lower-tier bowl, while six more writers don’t have either making it to the postseason.
