The EasyPost Hawaii Bowl kicks off on Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24, between the host Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (6-7) and the Memphis Tigers (6-6).
We’ll cut straight to the point: Hawaii is very fortunate to land in a bowl game. The Rainbow Warriors took advantage of a soft slate and 13-game schedule to reach bowl eligibility. Half of their wins came against either FCS competition or New Mexico State — a weird scheduling quirk allowed Hawaii to play the Aggies (one of the worst football teams in the FBS) twice in one season, padding the Rainbow Warriors’ record.
