WKU Football: Bowl Projection Roundup After Week 12

WKU is bowl eligible for the 10th time in the last 11 seasons. So, where do the experts say the Tops will land?

Western Kentucky is guaranteed (or, at least, nearly guaranteed - I’m still scarred from 2013) at least two more games and they’ll look to make it a third with a win on Saturday in the Moonshine Throwdown against Marshall in Huntington.

But, that’s not important right now. I mean, it is, but it’s not the focus of today. Today, we want to know where the bowl projection pros have the Hilltoppers heading.

In looking at the latest projections, it feels a bit funny after the two-and-a-half-weeks of hardcore MACtion focus, that just under half of these projections have the Tops taking on a MAC team. At least we’ll get a taste of what could have been.

Anyway, here’s what the projections say with the Tops sitting at seven wins on the season.
