Bowl Predictions

VS

HOUSTON BOWL

Maryland 7-4 vs Kansas State 6-5

Changes for the Houston Bowl next year are eminent, but it is not known who will participate in this game next year. The Big 12 may renew its contract, but it will have to be the 8th place team, not the 5th, 6th or 7th. The SEC will probably not be back next year. They have yet to send 8th place participant to Houston. Conference USA is one likely replacement since the addition of three more Texas schools. The Big 12 will fill its spot here, but the SEC, for the third straight year, will not. I expect another ACC school will pick the slack. The Terps missed out on a bowl game last year, as did the Kansas State Wildcats.
