I asked Chatgpt:
Most likely bowl destinations for Houston
Currently, the bowls most frequently projected for UH are:
- Texas Bowl (played in Houston, at NRG Stadium) Houston Chronicle+2Wikipedia+2
- Alamo Bowl (in San Antonio) Houston Chronicle+2Wikipedia+2
- Pop‑Tarts Bowl (in Orlando) Houston Chronicle+2Wikipedia+2
Why these are leading candidates
- The conference tie-ins for the Big 12 (UH’s conference) align with those bowls under normal bowl-selection scenarios. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2
- Major media outlets (ESPN, CBS, SI, etc.) have consistently projected UH to one of these three depending on how the rest of the season shakes out. Houston Chronicle+2SI+2
Other possible bowls
If bowl-selection committees look at different matchups, or if Big 12 standings shift, a few additional bowls could be under consideration (though less frequently projected):
- Liberty Bowl — sometimes mentioned as a lower-tier possibility for a solid but non-elite Big 12 finish. CoogFans+2CoogFans+2
- Independence Bowl — as a backup slot if more “power” bowls fill up with higher-ranking teams. CoogFans+1
Let’s all hope we do not end up in the Liberty Bowl.
The question that comes to mind is in case we bring recruits what option would be best for them?
