Fresno State bowl projections: Where could the Bulldogs end up in December?
The Fresno State football team is going bowling, but first there’s a regular-season finale Friday at home and then the Mountain West Conference championship game Dec. 3 at Boise State.
The Bulldogs-Broncos winner next week is the only team that will know where it’s going next: the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl on Dec. 17 against a Pac-12 team at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
Of seven respected college football analysts, only one thinks Fresno State will beat Boise State and advance to a dream matchup at the NFL home of the Rams and Chargers.
Bowl matchups will be set Dec. 4. In the meantime, here’s a look at the bowl predictions:
