Are the Huskies Destined for a P4 Bowl Matchup?

It’s Championship Week, which means for teams who are not in their conference championship game (or don’t have a conference), the discussion is around bowl games. Interestingly, several outlets have the Huskies taking on a P4 opponent, which is impressive since bowl games are all about tv ratings, so the prevailing thought is that UConn will garner enough eyeballs. From a football perspective, UConn was of course 0-4 against P4 opponents, so depending on your worldview, it’s an opportunity to get a big win, or they’re doomed to take a fifth loss. Below are the projections for this week.
