With seven wins on the season, the Arizona State Sun Devils will be back in a bowl game for the first time since their Las Vegas Bowl loss in 2021.

Even though all but two of the former Pac-12 schools left the conference, current and former Pac-12 football teams will still be part of the existing bowl selection process for the 2024 and 2025 football seasons.

As Week 12 gets underway and with a trip to Kansas State on the horizon for the Sun Devils, here is where the Sun Devils could end up during bowl season.
