A bowl game should be on the agenda.
The Colorado State football team hasn’t yet reached bowl eligibility for the 2024 season, but the Rams (5-3) are a win away from it with four to go.
Three of CSU’s final four opponents have losing records. The Rams not only should reach bowl eligibility, but a scheduling gift from the Mountain West makes a conference title game bid a real possibility.
Let’s look at the bowls. Here are national projections following Week 9 of college football for where the Rams may play in the postseason:
Hawaii Bowl
Christmas in Hawaii? The Hawaii Bowl is a popular pick right now. The game is Dec. 24 in Honolulu.
Brett McMurphy of the Action Network has the Rams set to play Tulane, with the Green Wave an 11-point favorite.
