The Miami football team lost their final two games of 2019 to Florida International and Duke to halt rumors of earning a bid to the Orange Bowl for the second time in three seasons. The late-season losses dramatically dropped the Hurricanes in the ACC pecking order when the bowl game matchups are announced Sunday.
The consensus bowl projections have the Miami football team headed to the Birmingham Bowl at legendary Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama or the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana. Miami played and lost 24-21 to South Carolina in its only Independence Bowl appearance in 2014.
