I think UConn has a decent chance at a bowl game in 2024. Scheduling really helps and the Huskies have a great slate this year.
First, UConn plays seven home games. In addition, the Huskies play SIX of them in a row (something I don't think anyone else in college football does).
Last year UMass played three conference champions (MAC, AAC and CUSA). The Minutemen will likely play three more in 2024 (AAC, MAC and SEC).
UConn's home schedule:
- Wagner- September 7th
- Florida Atlantic- September 21st (4-8 in 2023)
- Buffalo- September 28th (3-9 in 2023)
- Temple -October 5th (3-9 in 2023)
- Wake Forest-October 19th (4-8 in 2023)
- Rice-October 26th (7-6 in 2023)
- Georgia State-November 2nd (7-6 in 2023)
The Huskies also play:
- Away-UAB (4-8 in 2023)
- Away-UMass (3-9 in 2023)
Not a conference champion in the pack. UConn will play six sub-.500 teams and two more that were one win over .500.
The Huskies could upset Wake at home and might have a chance against Syracuse (the Orange fired Dino Barbers last year as they went 7-6). Anyway, eight very winnable games in 2024 and UConn should get at least six wins.
