Miami, 10-2 after losing to Syracuse and missing the ACC Championship game, was the obvious first pick for the Pop Tarts Bowl. Iowa State enters at 10-3 after getting blown out in the Big 12 Championship game by Arizona State.
For both teams, this is a disappointing bowl placement. They each had College Football Playoff aspirations, and the performance to match. For Miami, late losses to Georgia Tech and Syracuse curtailed their hopes, while Iowa State’s dreams were dashed by Arizona State just yesterday.
The Pop Tarts Bowl will be played in Orlando, FL on December 28th.
We’ll have more in the lead up to this bowl game.
