After Arizona State’s win at Kansas State on Saturday, the Sun Devils found themselves ranked for the first time since 2021.

In Kenny Dillingham’s second year at the helm, ASU will be back in a bowl game for the first time since their Las Vegas Bowl loss three years ago.

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 13 gets underway and with a showdown against BYU set for the Sun Devils on Saturday, here is where the Sun Devils are projected to end up during bowl season.

Predictions: What bowl game can Arizona State get invited to in 2024?

In a quick survey of five bowl predictions refreshed since Saturday, the Holiday Bowl was picked as a landing spot three times with the less illustrious Las Vegas Bowl matching with the Sun Devils twice.
