Washington to play Sark’s Texas in the Alamo Bowl

The Dawgs’ bowl recreation has been introduced, and as many anticipated will probably be in opposition to Texas within the Alamo Bowl.

For the betting-inclined, opening odds shall be launched shortly on DraftKings.

Going into Friday, the Rose Bowl was nonetheless a transparent risk for Washington had USC beat Utah and gained the Pac-12 Championship. Doing so would have propelled a one-loss USC to the playoff, leaving UW because the possible subsequent most-appealling crew for the Rose Bowl provided that, on this state of affairs, Utah would have had 4 losses even because the Pac-12 runner up versus UW’s two.

In fact, after the Trojans ate crap of their title recreation that dream was over. With two losses, they received kicked out of the playoff dialog and the entire upper-level Pac-12 bowl eventualities received scrambled up.

The top result’s the Huskies getting a transparent demotion in bowl status — sorry San Antonio — however the matchup on the sector must be a fairly enjoyable one anyway.

By most metrics Texas is definitely a greater crew than their rating; contextually, two of their 4 losses have been by lower than three factors — certainly one of which was to Alabama — and a 3rd loss was to the until-yesterday-undefeated TCU.

Whereas freshman Quinn Ewers has achieved a greater job defending the soccer than not apart from in a couple of (vital) situations, he’s had loads of rising pains that we are likely to affiliate with younger quarterbacks.

Texas’ season has had its curler coaster moments, however they’re a fairly good crew (to not point out will virtually have homefield benefit) once they’re on and this can absolutely be one of many extra intriguing non-NY6 bowl video games.

Do good issues, don’t do unhealthy issues, and bow right down to Washington.
