[NU Sports] ESPN Bowl predictions

[Herman Wang]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Hawaii has a clause with the Hawaii Bowl and the NCAA that guarantees them a slot in that bowl if they are bowl-eligible.  This is in large part because of Hawaii's large travel expenses, so the home bowl berth is a way for the program to be able to recoup some of those expenses, should the team qualify.
