Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Duke's Mayo Bowl
ESPN
8:00 PM
Wake Forest (8-4) vs Mississippi State (5-7)
In the 2025 college football season, several 5-7 teams declined bowl bids, including Florida State, Auburn, UCF, Baylor, Kansas, Rutgers, and Temple, primarily to focus on player development and the transfer portal, disrupting bowl-filling efforts for games like the Birmingham Bowl. These teams often expected their season to be over and had already moved on, making it difficult to field a team, unlike some bowl-eligible teams that also opted out due to coaching changes or playoff snubs.
Birmingham Bowl: Georgia Southern (now 7-6) 29 defeated Appalachian State (now 5-8) 10.
Just sayin': When 5-7 gets you into a bowl game (needless to say) there are just too many bowl games.

I believe the first game of the day features another 5-7 team (playing a 6-6 team). Rice and Texas State or some such critter?
