Pittsburgh's 3 Most Likely Bowl Destinations

Pitt became bowl eligible after they closed their season with two wins over Syracuse and Miami, finishing with a 6-6 record. The Panthers beat Bowling Green in the Little Caesar's Bowl last season - where will they end up this year?

BITCOIN St. Petersburg Bowl (ACC vs. AAC)

Fri., Dec. 26, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tropicana Field, Tampa, FL

Pitt would like to play a team from another power conference, but they don't have a lot of options when it comes to deciding where they'll play this postseason. They’ll get to face a team with a better record – likely UCF or Cincinnati – and a trip to Florida is something fans would enjoy.

Sun Bowl (Pac-12 vs ACC)
Sat., Dec. 27, 2:30 p.m. ET
Sun Bowl Stadium, El Paso, TX

The Sun Bowl will feature two teams that middled around their respective conference standings, but this will still prove to be a good game. The problem with the Sun Bowl is that fans rarely want to travel to El Paso to play a team from the other side of the country, and Pitt fans are no different.

Quick Lane Bowl (Big Ten vs ACC)

Fri., Dec. 26, 4:30 p.m. ET

Ford Field, Detroit, MI

Pitt wasn't dreaming of returning to the Quick Lane Bowl (formerly the Little Caesar’s Bowl) when the season started, but that's where they're most likely to end up. There's a good chance that the Panthers would face in-state rival Penn State in this game, which would make this game a whole lot more appealing.
