Stadium’s Brett McMurphy released college bowl predictions today, a whole TEN MONTHS before the first bowl game kicks off, and has the Notre Dame Fighting Irish making a return trip to the Cotton Bowl to face the UCF Knights.
McMurphy, formerly of ESPN, said the Irish would be the highest-ranked team remaining after all of the other New Year’s Six bowls are slotted, and predicts the Knights to be the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion.
“For UCF, this would mean a third consecutive New Year’s 6 bowl trip and, oh the irony, if the Knights are led by Notre Dame transfer Brandon Wimbush at quarterback,” wrote McMurphy.
